# Data Section 3 "Proposal on Acceptance of College Students and Pre-college Students"

### 1. Concerning Proper and Smooth Acceptance of Foreign College Students

Acceptance of foreign college students contributes to maintenance and enhancement of international competitiveness such as in science and technology, industry and other areas, and to global intellectual contribution by cultivating human resources. Also, it is meaningful in many ways such as deepening of mutual understanding and friendship by creation of a human network, thereby contributing to the stability and peace of the world. Further, as the acceptance of foreign college students generates an international environment on campus and contributes to Japanese people having a global way of thinking through multicultural experience, it should be actively promoted.

For the purpose of increased acceptance of foreign college students, entrance examinations, enrollment control, livelihood and job-finding support by professional organizations in educational institutions is important. It is also necessary for the immigration control administration to implement ready acceptance, however, at the same time, due consideration needs to be paid so as not to increase overstayers or illegal workers.

To this end, educational institutions should maintain the quality of foreign college students by proper entrance examinations and responsible enrollment control of excellent foreign college students having an enthusiasm for learning and provide the Immigration Bureau with information concerning the residence situation of foreign college students, while the Immigration Bureau should undertake proper residence management of foreign college students, based on information provided by the educational institutions and fact-finding research.

Studies should also be carried out on measures to enhance incentives for educational institutions toward proper entrance examination and enrollment control by evaluating examinations for foreign college students and enrollment control, as well as by grasping the number of enrolled persons within the framework for evaluation of colleges.

### 2. Concerning Entry and Residence Examination of Foreign College Students

As the 300,000 Foreign College Students Plan advances, prompt and smooth entry and residence examinations need to be implemented to cope with the large volume of entry applications that is expected in the days ahead.

For this purpose, with respect to applications made by educational institutions that do not give rise to overstayers or illegal workers by proper entrance examination and enrollment control, documents to be submitted should be drastically simplified and the examination period should
be drastically shortened so that a decision can be given within one week, in principle, after the application.

On the other hand, with respect to applications made by educational institutions that give rise to large numbers of overstayers or illegal workers as a result of failure to implement proper entrance examination and enrollment control or those making fraudulent applications or providing false information, strict examination needs to be carried out as in the past.

### 3. Concerning Activities Other Than Those Permitted by the Status of Residence of College Student

The provision of various scholarships or sufficient money sent from the home country is desirable so that foreign college students can safely devote themselves to their learning, however, many foreign college students actually compensate college and living expenses by part-time jobs due to reasons of economic disparity with their home country, etc.

Taking the foregoing actual situation into account, the current treatment of permission for activities other than those permitted by the status of residence of college student should be maintained and, in addition, consideration should be given so that activity as a TA (teaching assistant), RA (research assistant) or internship, which can go together with study in college, do not require permission for activities other than those permitted by the status of residence of college student, on condition that such activities are performed under the responsibility of the college.

Further, educational institutions need to perform entrance examination for selecting foreign college students having a high enthusiasm for learning so that their study life abroad will not be dedicated to employment, and proper enrollment control so that their activities will not lead to illegal activities other than those permitted by the status of residence of college student.

### 4. Concerning Job-finding Support for Foreign College Students after Graduation

The acceptance of foreign college students contributes to cultivating the human resources of students' countries, development of Japan's economic society, the progress of science, technology and learning, and creating human resources capable of enthusiastically working on the global stage. At the same time, allowing foreign college students to work actively and continuously in Japanese companies by making good use of their knowledge and the skill acquired at the college will not only contribute to Japan's development, but also induce foreign students to study in Japan.

For employment of foreign college students after graduation, human resource education at educational institutions, job-finding support as closely supervised as that for Japanese students and job-finding support at “employment service centers for foreigners” (Hello-Work for foreigners) are important, and active employment and promotion in companies are indispensable.
Even in cases where foreign college students return to their home country after graduation, the possibility of offering continued support for them should be studied.

From these viewpoints, the Immigration Bureau should respond broadly and flexibly to job-finding support for foreign college students by not requiring any specific relationship between their major college subjects and the details of their work at employing companies, in respect of change of status of residence to work status for graduates from faculties and graduate schools. By reviewing the documents to be submitted, the burden on companies employing foreign college students should be alleviated and examinations should be carried out promptly. Further, the job-finding activity period after graduation should be extended to about one year with continuous job-finding support by educational institutions after graduation as a prerequisite, since a certain achievement is recognized to have already been made by the current maximum period of stay of 180 days.

### 5. Concerning Period of Stay for Status of Residence of “College Student”

The period of stay for the status of residence of “College Student” is “two years” or “one year”, however, from the viewpoint of convenience of and less burden on foreign college students and educational institutions, it is appropriate to extend the period of stay for the status of residence of “College Student”.

However, the period of stay should be extended without ignoring potential problems such as increasing overstay, and after creating a system where problems will not arise, by thorough enrollment control by educational institutions under the new system of residence management.

At that time, if a foreign college student is no longer enrolled due to reasons of graduation or leaving the institution, the educational institution must inform the Immigration Bureau promptly, and the Immigration Bureau receiving the notice should cancel the status of residence of the foreign college student in question if necessary.

### 6. Concerning Integration of Status of Residence of “College Student” and

“Pre-college Student”

Currently, activities by foreigners to receive education in Japan are classified into the status of residence of “College Student” or “Pre-college Student” based on the type of educational institutions. Their residence is controlled as to whether they receive education at advanced educational institutions such as colleges in which case they are referred to as “College Student”, and or whether they receive education at high schools, special schools (general course, advanced course) and miscellaneous schools, etc., in which case they are referred to as “Pre-college Student”.

However, many western countries do not classify the status of residence by the type of educational
