Intending to nurture individuals in the digital, decarbonization, and other growth industries, the education ministry of Japan said that it has chosen 106 universities and five technical institutions that are capable of receiving financial support. The assistance is primarily intended to encourage current faculties to move to science-related ones. Private organizations, especially those having fewer scientific faculties compared to different sorts of universities, are the program's main goals. Up to 2 billion yen will be allocated to give each institution. At an announcement ceremony, Educational Minister Keiko Nagaoka stated that one of the chosen institutions was a women's university, "It is important to build a society where women having expertise in science can play active roles".
He emphasized that it would be crucial to create a society where women with scientific competence could play influential roles. The initiative is going to be mainly administered by the National Institution for Academic Degrees and Quality Enhancement of Higher Education, utilizing pertinent money of around 300 billion yen. Approximately 60 institutions, including national universities and technical colleges, are receiving financial support to enhance their capacities for fostering highly skilled digital and other personnel over a ten-year period. Around 250 public and private universities are being selected for receiving help for faculty reorganization to boost science education.
