3

Argument

•He explains Japan has 2 types economic area.▫G ( global ) area▫L ( local) area

•L area is less worker, wage, satisfaction.

•A solution is increasing L area productivity.

4

Argument

•Then changing “L area” university system is required.▫Almost all universities are “L” except “top

level”▫Depending on level, even the Tokyo Univ. is.

•So, Japanese “L” University Should Be Training School For A Job（！？）

5

Argument

ShakespeareIntroduction to Literary

Michael Eugene PorterStrategy: the indirect approach

The ConstitutionThe Criminal law

MechanicsFluid Mechanics

6

English about travel industryExplaining ability about history, culture

How to use accounting software

Road Traffic LawGetting driver's license for large size vehicles

How to use machine used in TOYOTA

What “L” Universities should learn(example) (p7)

NOT

BUT

Part of Responses (agree)

•Nowadays, university with academic educationis almost nothing.

•For learning liberal arts, network video is enough.

•Job training is better than useless education.

7

Part of Responses (disagree)

•Changing almost all universities is overdone.

•Universities might lost its value.

•Ability like an example become useless soon▫So university should teach “how to get

ability”

8

Compliment

•Before this, in May 6, Shinzo Abe made a speech in OECD council of ministers▫He said “Rather than deepening academic

research that is highly theoretical, we will conduct more practical vocational education that better anticipates the needs of society.”

•So the government wants more practical education??

9

My Opinion•We all need better education & systems

so we should think deeper about how to reform.

•But the proposal is too extreme.▫There’re many differences

E.g. words definition, majoring, purpose, region etc..

•…What is the University for?•What is “Good University” ?
