Theme: “Reasonable Accommodations in Entrance Examinations”

1. Purpose

The purpose of this training is to understand what kind of thinking should be taken into account when considering reasonable accommodations when accepting students with disabilities, including open campuses, university guidelines, and application guidelines, and how this will lead to the rules and management methods for reasonable accommodations in entrance examinations. In addition, this training is not only for the departments in charge of supporting students with disabilities at universities and junior colleges, but also for faculty and staff belonging to the admissions departments. With the enactment of the revised Act on the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities in May 2021, this program will be an opportunity to systematically learn how to give appropriate consideration to examinees.
