Hello Everyone!
The News Group’s first article, “Universities’ Failing Grades,” comes from the Japan Times. It is linked below, or can be found by googling “japan times universities’ failing grades 10/2/2016”
Since the topic of university rankings came up in the class, we thought this article was appropriate for this week. The writer discusses Prime Minister Abe ‘s “target of Japan getting at least 10 universities in the world’s top 100 within 10 years,” the realities of actually meeting that target, and how Japan’s bureaucracy is a large cause of its failings.
