The Quest for the 21st Century University
While we have seen some effort to make graduate school education more available, the number of students who study at the graduate level in Japan is only 17 per 1000 population compared to 77 in the United States and 39 in England. The concern is not with quantitative inferiority, but rather with quality control, collaboration with the business community and the lack of law schools - all now widely regarded as areas warranting massive reform. On the eve of the 21st Century, Mr. Kazuo Sorimachi interviewed Mr. Kazuaki Tezuka concerning these vital issues.

The quest for better business-university collaboration in the study of the social sciences is a task Mr. Tezuka of Chiba University has been looking into in an attempt to execute university reform and to formulate a new image for social studies, in particular, and university education overall in the national universities.
