“Significant Decrease in Japanese Overseas Students Amid the COVID-19 Pandemic. Online Study Abroad Shows a Trend of Establishment. “
JAOS aims to promote the healthy development of the study abroad industry and provide instruction and guidance to improve and maintain quality of service providers in Japan. JAOS consists of 66 private and public-sector organizations based in Japan.
In February 2022, JAOS organized the “JAOS 2021 Survey on the Number of Japanese Studying Abroad”, a data analysis of 42-member education agencies that provide study abroad services. The survey collected from these 42 organizations demonstrates the trend of the number of Japanese who used their study abroad support services.
The survey was answered by all of 42-member organizations, and it reported 15,083 (including online study abroad) students studying abroad in 2021. It was also evident that the number of online study abroad participants significantly surpassed the traditional method of traveling abroad for study (offline study abroad).
