Japan: MEXT Research and Undergraduate Scholarships for Pakistan 2011

Overview

International exchange in education, especially student exchange at the stage of higher education, plays an extremely important role in raising the levels of education and research in Japan and other countries, fostering international understanding and a spirit of international cooperation, and in the case of developing countries, cooperating in the development of human resources in those countries.

For these reasons, the Ministry of Education, Science, Sport and Culture (MEXT) encourages exchange among students by promoting a wide range of measures, including setting for itself the target of accepting 100,000 foreign students annually by the beginning of the 21st Century, increasing the number of MEXT scholarships for foreign students, providing further support for self-supporting foreign students, promoting short-term student exchange, providing accommodation for foreign students through various means, and improving educational guidance in universities and other institutions of higher education in Japan.
