Foreign Students in Japan: An Update

摘要

The Ministry of Education, Science, Sports and Culture (Monbusho) recentlyupdated the data on numbers of foreign students studying in higher educational institutions in Japan. Data are from the Japanese Immigration Office, collected as of May 1, 1995, covering all individuals who entered Japan on student visas for enrollment in higher educational institutions, including graduate schools, universities, junior colleges, technical colleges and special training colleges. (Note that individuals entering Japan for the sole purpose of learning the Japanese language are not included.)
