As our society has become more mature, the demands of women for learning have been heightened and diversified. The number of workingwomen has been increasing, and the aspiration of women for participation in social activities and for the development of their own capabilities has been increasing. In the light of these social circumstances, the Ministry, which has promoted various educational programs for adult women, is now committed to facilitating the provision of opportunities for advanced learning for these women through, for example, subsidizing the organization of "women's lifelong college" programs by prefectures and large cities in cooperation with universities. It is also committed to the promotion of women's social participation in the forms of volunteer activities and international exchange activities, the promotion of and assistance to women's, group activities, the improvement of facilities for women's education, and the expansion of the information presentation functions of the National Women's Education Center.
