Director General Tsukahara of the Department for Student Affairs provided anexplanation regarding this subject based on the document which had been
distributed to the members of the Council, followed by a question and answer
session summarized below.
○ Is it true that recommendation students tend to lose motivation to study after
they are admitted? (Member Zhao)➝ Compared to general admission students, recommendation students finish
studying for the entrance examination earlier, using their energy differently
from general applicants. To fill this gap, our Office for Learning Support gives
recommendation students assignments to be done before the entrance to UoA.
(Member Tsukahara)➝ At the time of entrance, there is a difference in scholastic ability between
general admission and recommendation students. However, recommendation
admission students catch up with general admission students within threeyears. I believe that most of recommendation students are hardworking.
(Member Kanemoto)○ Under the Recommendation Category B for high school students nationwide,
bright students, such as those who excelled at PC Koshien, have been accepted.
We should increase the Category B capacity. (Member Tei)
➝ Category B admission students are mixture of the good and bad. We need tokeep track of their situations after entrance. On the other hand, Category A
consistently provides students of a certain level of excellence. So it is possible
to discuss increasing the Category A capacity. (Member Kanemoto)○ As discontinuation of the Center Entrance Examination System is being
discussed nationwide, we need to prepare for the case of discontinuation by
analyzing situations of other universities, etc. (President Tsunoyama)Summary of Minutes from the Eighth Meeting of the Education andResearch Council of the Public University Corporation, the University of
