Participation in the Collaboration Agreement Signing Ceremony

October 3, 2014

at Australian Embassy (Mita, Tokyo)

The Marketing Office of the Embassy of Australia and the Eiken Foundation of Japan entered into a Collaboration Agreement, and a signing ceremony was held. Chairman Yamada participated in the signing ceremony. As a result of this agreement, Japanese middle schoolers in their third year, high schoolers, and junior high schoolers will be able to enroll in Australian high schools with a Pre-2 Grade or above on the Eiken test. The state of Queensland has already begun accepting the Eiken test as proof of language ability at all public high schools as of this year, and in the future the Eiken test will be accepted all over Australia, following moves by the United States and Canada.
