Shinjiro Koizumi “Going to university isn’t everything” and “Learn a skill” in response to a question about the burden of repaying student loans.

Liberal Democratic Party

On the 16th, nine candidates for the Liberal Democratic Party presidential election attended a debate hosted by the party’s Youth and Women’s Bureau in Kanazawa City, and discussed how to respond to large-scale disasters such as the Noto Peninsula earthquake. During the debate, a man from the party’s student division asked a question about the issue of university students repaying their student loans, saying, “There are concerns that people will not be able to get married and have children if they continue to repay their loans until they are 40 years old.” Former Environment Minister Shinjiro Koizumi (43) responded by saying, “Going to university isn’t everything,” which led to a variety of responses on the Internet. Koizumi, who was the last of the nine candidates to respond, agreed with former Minister of Economy and Security Kobayashi Takayuki, saying, “I support the fully government-funded study abroad system that Mr. Kobayashi mentioned.” “The yen has weakened, making it more difficult to study abroad than before. We need to look at this and, as Mr. Ishiba said, avoid situations where family circumstances prevent students from realizing their desire to study abroad,” he said. He then said, “I said I want to change the way education is done, not just provide scholarships, because going to university isn’t everything.” “There’s a lot that’s needed in the future. Today I also exchanged opinions with people involved with Wakura Onsen, Kaga Onsen, inns and hotels. Currently, inns and other places are having trouble because there aren’t enough Japanese chefs. “If you can acquire such a skill, you can now create a career that will allow you to earn an income comparable to that of a university graduate,” he said, adding, “I would like to diversify education, strengthen technical colleges, and carry out fundamental reforms like these.” The debate was streamed on the party’s YouTube channel, but reactions to Koizumi’s comments included, “A hereditary politician wouldn’t understand,” and “You’re missing the point.” On social media, comments included, “You have no right to say that,” “I bet they want to promote a society with greater inequality,” and “Shouldn’t politicians ensure that everyone who wants to go to college can do so,” as well as responses like, “What a good thing to say,” and “There is also a way to earn money by learning a skill.” Read more at Sponichi Annex

The people who are constantly criticizing Koizumi’s academic background are actually better than those from Columbia University? That’s amazing.

Of course he’s a high school graduate.

I’m a college graduate, but that’s true. Only the chosen few should go to college. Idiots and poor people should just die quietly with only a high school diploma. That’s what will increase the value of a college graduate like me.

A high school graduate who has never been to college saying “Japanese universities are so…” is the same as a virgin saying “women are so…” High school graduate virgins, you should say that after you get into college.

In the previous thread 971, it seems that you can take the exam at 20 without the exemption, but you can’t even start a business at 20.
Whether you have a middle school or high school diploma, starting a business by the age of 25 will be impossible because of the lack of funding. It would be different if the parents were to sponsor it, but such a spoiled store won’t last.

Lowering tuition fees at national universities is necessary, but there’s no need to go into debt to go to a liberal arts university that’s less competitive than a national university.

That’s the kind of society we should have. He’s a politician, after all. If having a trade is treated the same or better than going to university, then we’ll see more of this. The Liberal Democratic Party brings these things from developing countries and lowers wages for skilled workers.

It also costs money to get a skill.

It’s okay for someone in that position to say it, but if Shinjiro says it, there will be a barrage of “you have no right to say that” lol.

Instead of doing things like developed countries, it would be better to have education that teaches people a trade, like developing countries do.

I think it is necessary to change this mindset. To achieve this, the number of universities should be reduced.

Even though he may lack in many areas as a politician, I understand that he wants to create a Shinjiro team and work with the support of capable people, and I agree with that way of thinking.
But with this mentality, he’s no good at carrying a portable shrine.
It’s not just his words, there’s a problem with his outlook on the world.

There are too many universities to waste. The jobs that are truly needed are left to immigrants.

Specific industrial fields that accept foreign nationals with specific skills (12 fields)

Nursing care Building cleaning Basic materials, industrial machinery, electrical and electronic information-related manufacturing Construction Shipbuilding and marine industry Automobile maintenance
Aviation Accommodation Agriculture Fisheries Food and beverage manufacturing Restaurant industry
Four new fields have been added to the target fields: “Automobile transportation industry,” “Railway,” “Forestry,” and “Wood industry”
Fields that accept foreign nationals with specific skills are industrial fields (specific industrial fields) where it is difficult to secure human resources even after efforts to improve productivity and secure domestic human resources, and therefore it is necessary to secure human resources by foreigners to fill the shortage.

Even if the number of university graduates increases, it’s no laughing matter because it’s the lost 30 years. On the other hand, Japan prospered in the past when there were more middle school and high school graduates. Forcing people to go to university was a mistake. All it did was increase the number of people with strange pride and greed.
0039Anonymous Donburako.Sep. 17, 2024 (Tue) 11:20:56.56ID:woK1YviW0(1/3)
To achieve this, we must first improve the working conditions of craftsmen and field workers. Everyone goes to college to get a decent job because the pay is low and the workplace is tough and dirty. If the working conditions were commensurate with the work, there would be people who only had a middle or high school education who would want to work as craftsmen or in factories.

I learned from an online article that normal people who can communicate are more valuable than those with a higher education level. There are a lot of people with borderline intelligence or below, so it shows up in the statistics.

First-class university graduates live as samurai, F-rank university graduates live as farmers, and high school graduates live their lives being looked down upon as eta or hinin. Even if you’re at the bottom of the class, you’d want to at least become a farmer. But Shinjiro, who was born into a shogun’s family, thinks that “eta and hinin are necessary in society.” He only thinks about the social system and doesn’t care about the lives of the eta and hinin themselves.

Well, rather than going to an F-ranked university, it’s better to just get a job quickly.

A chef at an inn who has a “trade” can easily be fired at the discretion of the management.
