Over 70% of university students attend private universities
Over 90% of college students attend private colleges
By comparison, less than 30% of U.S. undergraduates are in private universities
How does the funding affect the education?

Recession and reduced employment Shrinking population of student ages:
2M (1994) -> 1.5M (now) -> 1.19M (2012)
Japan Accreditation Board for Engineering Education (JABEE) established 1999, working with IPSJ on inspection and accreditation of specific courses
