Preparing for Comprehensive and School-Recommended Admissions in 2026

As we approach the critical admissions period spanning from May to July 2026, Kawai Juku is set to host a series of informative sessions aimed at high school and middle school students along with their parents. The guidance titled "Deepening Understanding Together: Comprehensive and School-Recommended Admissions Preparation" will take place at various campuses across the nation. Experienced academic advisors will elucidate the intricacies of the admissions process and offer clarity on required preparations and evaluated criteria.

Understanding the Urgency for Preparation

According to the Ministry of Education’s announcement in November 2025, the rate of new entrants to public and private universities through comprehensive and school-recommended admissions rose to 53.6% in 2024, reflecting a continuous upward trend. These admissions are characterized by multifaceted evaluations that include written essays, interviews, practical exams, academic performance, and certifications. Particularly in interviews, there is a substantial focus on assessing the candidates’ suitability and commitment, making it evident that achieving success in this process requires more than mere last-minute preparations.

High school students are encouraged to set clear goals and actively engage in their studies and extracurricular activities, ensuring they approach their preparations in a systematic manner. Recognizing this necessity, Kawai Juku will provide guidance on “when”, “what”, and “how” to prepare for these types of admissions. The sessions will cover the structure of the selection process, recent trends, key points emphasized during interviews and documentation, and practical preparation strategies—all presented in an accessible format by seasoned academic advisors. We also encourage parents to participate, allowing for a shared understanding at home that fosters a supportive preparation environment. This event is beneficial not only for third-year high school students who are facing imminent exams but also for freshmen and sophomores who are considering these types of selections.
