日本于 2008 年宣布，到 2020 年，其国际学生人数将增加一倍以上，达到 30 万人。尽管文部科学省和被称为“全球 30 强”的国际化领先大学提出了倡议，但这一目标将很难实现。本文讨论了文部科学省和高等教育部门近年来实施的国际教育改革，包括大学为吸引更多国际学生来日本而采取的策略。 2011年发生的灾难性地震和海啸、中国高等教育的崛起以及国际学生在全球范围内的竞争加剧等因素深刻影响了国际学生向日本的流动。本研究采用案例研究方法来描述和评估日本国际高等教育扩张和多元化的方式，同时关注此类改革不可避免地产生的固有教育质量问题。
Japan announced in 2008 that it would more than double its number of international students to 300,000 by the year 2020. Despite initiatives of the Ministry of Education (MEXT) and universities that had been designated as leaders in internationalisation known as the ‘Global 30’, this goal will be difficult to achieve. This paper discusses international education reforms that MEXT and the higher education sector have implemented in recent years, including the strategies universities have used for attracting more international students to Japan. A disastrous earthquake and tsunami in 2011, the rise of Chinese higher education, in addition to intensifying worldwide competition for international students, have among other factors deeply impacted international student mobility to Japan. This research uses a case study approach to describe and assess the ways in which Japanese international higher education is expanding and diversifying, attending as well to the inherent educational quality issues that invariably arise from such reform.
