 Prince Hisahito of Akishino, 16, the eldest son of the Akishino family, has been attending Tsukuba University High School, one of the best preparatory schools in Japan, since April 2010. Since a few days ago, there has been a lot of talk about his &#8220;poor academic performance.
 The difference in academic ability between Prince Akishino and his classmates, which is a rather blatant assessment, seems to indicate that Prince Akishino has realized that he is falling behind in terms of deviation from the standard.
 Let us look back a little at the circumstances up to now. There have been controversial issues concerning His Highness Prince Eugene, such as the attention paid to the &#8220;affiliated school system&#8221; that he used to enter high school, and the fact that the description of an essay that won a prize in an essay contest was pointed out to be very similar to a reference that was not given as a reference.

 The junior high school attached to Ochanomizu University, which Prince Eugene attended, is girls-only from high school, so he was forced to take an entrance examination for another school. This was the reason for the tie-up scheme between Ochanomizu and Tsukuba. Since this scheme itself started after Eugene passed through the gates of Ochanomizu, there were some suspicions among the public that it was an imperial privilege.
 At the same time, the public was openly discussing its discomfort with the &#8220;Komuro problem,&#8221; which led to a certain distrust of the Prince Hisahito of Akishino family, and even cast a dark shadow over Prince Hisahito&#8217;s advancement to the next grade.
 On the other hand, not a few voices also mentioned the difference in academic level between Ochanomizu and Tsukuba.
 Rather than being unable to keep up with classes, it seems that the students are a little behind their classmates in terms of preparation for the university entrance examinations. It is likely that they are aware through conversations with their classmates about their progress in studying for entrance exams outside of school, such as at cram schools or through private tutoring. Even though this is something that was known in advance, we have heard that Prince Eugene himself is feeling a sense of confusion.
 It is reported that Eugene&#8217;s wish to go to the University of Tsukuba High School was a major factor. &#8230;&#8230;
 The parents are supposed to &#8220;pave the way&#8221; for the entrance examinations, not only for third-year junior high school students, but for all students. Even though the affiliated school system is used for entrance into the University of Tsukuba High School, it is still an entrance examination, and the students cannot go on to universities beyond that, at least not in an escalator-like fashion. Competition itself is not a good thing for the future emperor, and I believe that Prince and Princess Akishino may feel the same way.
 It is reported that Prince Eugene is seeking admission to a university in the form of a recommendation rather than a general entrance examination. There are still two more years to go before then, but what will happen?

Since a few days ago, there has been a lot of talk about his "poor academic performance. The difference in academic ability between his classmates and the rest of his classmates, and the blatant evaluation of his performance, are all factors that have contributed to his poor academic performance.

The &#8220;poor performance theory&#8221; has been widely discussed&#8230; The future of His Highness Prince Eugene&#8217;s &#8220;academic problem&#8221; at the University of Tsukuba High School.
