Source: Reported by MEXT The number of professional graduate s, an educational scheme institutionalized in 23, continues to grow. Particularly the number soared in 24 when the law system was established. There are 122 professional graduate s which is a number of programs set up as of 25. I I-1-3 (institutions) Trends in Number of Credit-based Upper Secondary Schools Full-time course (FY) Part-time course Upper secondary s with the new credit-based system enable students to graduate by building up attendance and amassing credits, as opposed to a year-based system. The number of upper secondary s with credit system-based courses has grown consistently since the part-time course and the correspondence course were introduced in 1988 and the full-time course system in As of 24, 58 s have adopted the credit systems including fulltime courses and part-time course.
