<div><font face="メイリオ" size="2">We would like to support the exchange students&nbsp;  to come Japan safely.</font></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><font face="メイリオ" size="2">The press conference to support overseas students  had healed by Japanese Language Schools which&nbsp;encourage the post-disaster  rehabilitation on 9 May.The editor of the magazine '<a target="_blank" href="http://www.imin.co.jp/">Immigrants</a>', Mr.Iwahara who taught me this  conference was one of the manager of the organization.By the influence of the  earthquake on March,it has been decreasing the number of the exchange  students.Comparing last year,</font></div>
<div><font face="メイリオ" size="2">it is estimated that there&nbsp;is&nbsp;30 to 50%  reduction of the number of&nbsp; candidate for admission refusing or delayed  during the first semester,and 70% that during the second semester.Considering  that most abroad students learn Japanese at Japanese language schools,it is also  expected the drop of population of exchange pupils in universities and  colleges.</font></div>
<div><font face="メイリオ" size="2">Of course,the main reason of the reduction is detaining&nbsp;by their  families who&nbsp;are anxious about&nbsp;the nuclear accident,or changing the  exchange students plans due to concerning the possibility of deterioration.</font></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><font face="メイリオ" size="2">It is  anticipated the slump of the 175000 students now,which means it is not able to  avoid the affect of the plan to accommodate&nbsp;of 300000 foreign  students,which is one of the strategy of the new growth in Japan.Japanese  Language Schools&nbsp;&nbsp;encouraging the post-disaster rehabilitation are  forced to treat this problem immediately and requesting the Diplomacy and  government to accompany.The aim is follow that.</font></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><font face="メイリオ" size="2">1.Collect the letters&nbsp;written by&nbsp; foreign  students to encourage the refugees</font></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><font face="メイリオ" size="2">2.Recruit the student volunteers to go the disaster  stricken area</font></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><font face="メイリオ" size="2">3.Provide information about the disaster and the  unclear&nbsp;power plant&nbsp;in foreign languages</font></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><font face="メイリオ" size="2">4.Require to the related organizations&nbsp;to  construct easy coming and studying from overseas.</font></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><font face="Meiryo" size="2">&nbsp;<font face="Meiryo"> </font></font></div>
<div><font face="Meiryo" size="2">However,It has been occurred already that  extension of deadline&nbsp;of next term's Japanese residence certification.It is  recognized that the plan, 'accommodation&nbsp;of 300000&nbsp;exchange pupils',  is one of the No.1 priority.</font></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><font face="Meiryo" size="2">The most essential thing is that making Japan more  safe and welcoming&nbsp;students&nbsp;who came from foreign&nbsp;countries more  than ever.</font></div>
<div><font face="Meiryo" size="2">They might be the people who really would like to study in Japan in  spite of&nbsp;unstable Japan.</font></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><strong><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"><font face="メイリオ" size="2">The effect or&nbsp;influence&nbsp;from exchange  students can be quite powerful.When they are accepted by Japanese society,they  might spread information about Japan as fabulous country, which is the best way  to PR of Japan.</font></span></strong></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><strong><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"><font face="メイリオ" size="2">Also,We should appreciate them to study Japanese for  a long time ,which&nbsp;might be useful only in Japan.If all Japanese had kept  in mind like that,&nbsp;the population of sightseer from&nbsp;abroad&nbsp;could  have been over&nbsp;ten million&nbsp;already<font face="ＭＳ Ｐゴシック" size="3">. </font></font></span></strong></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><strong><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"><font face="メイリオ" size="2"><font face="ＭＳ Ｐゴシック" size="3">In  addition, foreigners are anticipated activity in medical department  which&nbsp;is suffering from&nbsp;labor shortage. It is expected that there are  more than millions people who want to study and work in　Japan,&nbsp;with the  system of accepting foreigners.</font></font></span></strong></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><strong><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"><font face="メイリオ" size="2"><font face="ＭＳ Ｐゴシック" size="3">It is the fastest and the most effective way to  stimulate Japan that the&nbsp;procedures of foreigner's accommodation should be  more simple to increase them in Japan vastly,because they will contribute to  society when they get high education and grow accustomed  Japan.</font></font></span></strong></div>
