Japan Technical Colleges
Most technical colleges are national institutions
established
to train highly skilled technicians in five-year programs
in a
number of fields, including the merchant marine. Sixty-two
technical colleges have been operating since the early
1960s. About
10 percent of technical college graduates transfer to
universities
as third-year students, and some universities, notably the
University of Tokyo and the Tokyo Institute of Technology,
earmarked entrance places for these transfer students in
the 1980s.
