Japan wooing Indian students under G30 initiative
Bangalore, September 1, 2012: The University of Tokyo today organised a Japan Education Fair in the city as part of Japanese Government's G30 Study. Thirteen leading Universities, which formed part of the G30 study initiative, participated in the fair.
The 'Global 30' project had been launched by The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) of the Japanese Government to increase the number of international students in Japan to 300,000 by the year 2020. Under this initiative, core universities have been identified which offer programmes in English at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
These universities would receive prioritised financial assistance for five years. Endowed with this aid, each university will strive to recruit talented international students. The core universities’ aim is to create an attractive educational and research environment for international students by providing support for those living and studying in Japan, regarding academic matters, career planning, job hunting, visas, financial support, housing, extra-curricular activities, and any other difficulties or problems.
They will also provide international students with opportunities to learn about Japanese language and culture. A panel discussion featuring Indian students currently studying at various Japanese universities and moderated by Mr. Shrikrishna Kulkarni, President of the University of Tokyo Alumni Association, proved very interesting for visitors. They were able to get an insight into student life in Japan and more information on how studying in Japan was beneficial to these students.
On the sidelines of the Japan Education Fair, visitors had the opportunity to have to glimpse of some Japanese culture as well, through demonstrations of the Japanese Tea Ceremony conducted by the Japanese ladies of Bangalore. |
