One of the most important things that Japan started last year in higher education is the implementation of global Japanese education. By the help of Japanese government, they come up with an educational program called Gobal 30. This will allow over 300,000 foreign students to study in Japan without learning Japanese language since some excellent Japanese universities have English courses included in their curriculum.

This Japanese program for higher education is important because it encourages foreign countries to engage in the program and it also breaks the language barrier resulting for more international students to study in Japan.

One of the most excellent universities in Japan, The University of Tokyo, introduced an undergraduate program that makes English language as a medium of instruction. In this new program which is currently adapted by some Japanese universities, they will be able to acquire their Bachelor’s degree in English may it be full or partial. At the same time, well-trained Japanese students can to effectively encourage and help international students to study in Japan. International students will choose to stay in Japan to continue their higher education which will help Japanese companies attract foreign companies.

Apart from that, in the present situation, Japan ranked as the third largest economic around the world and has a percentage of 4% of world’s international students. In addition, the quantity of Japanese students studying in abroad has decreased. There is an increase number of foreign students in Japan but majority of them come from China which is 50%, Korea and other Southeast Asian countries which has a percentage of 20%.

The foreign affair is a major concern of Japanese leaders, professors and other professionals. One of the reasons is that they are alarmed that the next generation will produce more business from Japan, bringing it outside of the country for business growth. Aside from that, with the gradual work force in Japan, business corporations will employ foreign senior managers and these foreign employees will function successfully if they got the chance to study in Japan before. Finally, behind completely economic circumstance, Japan can possibly put them in a difficult situation as other foreign countries in the world internationalize successfully in terms of knowledge and competitiveness.
