2 Financial Aid of the Government to Private Educational Institutions
(6) Educational Institutions in Foreign Countries Established by Japanese School Corporations
In recent years there has been a rapid increase in the number
of Japanese school corporations establishing educational institutions in foreign
countries. The Ministry recognizes the significant role these overseas institutions
play in the internationalization of private educational institutions, but at
the same time it also recognizes that such institutions are sometimes faced with
various problems. Under these circumstances, the Ministry has decided to request
that these school corporations ask for the Ministry's opinion before the program
is implemented. The Ministry has also concluded the report of the consultative
committee which was established in 1990 to consider the establishment and management
of overseas educational facilities by school corporations.
