Five times more Japanese students were studying abroad with The Japan Association of Overseas Studies members in 2022 than the previous year.

Japan’s government has unveiled an ambition to get 400,000 international students into the country by 2033 and half a million Japanese students to study abroad.

November 12 will officially be celebrated annually in Japan as 'Study Abroad Day', recognising and promoting the value of study abroad, it has been announced.

Just over 6,000 Japanese students travelled abroad to study in 2021 marking a significant decline from pre-pandemic levels, according to a new report.

Despite optimism amid international students returning to Japan, the number of Japanese outbound students abroad dropped a staggering 98% in 2020, statistics have revealed.

Demand for study in the UK by students from East Asia remains depressed, a new report from the British Council has warned. 

A new process is being introduced where international students waiting to enter Japan will be “prioritised”, the country’s PM Fumio Kishida announced on March 3.

From March, Japan will begin to let international students enter the country, along with any people who are not tourists, according to new information from the country’s prime minister. However, a daily cap on entries presents a whole new set of problems, stakeholders warn.
