Prince Hisahito of Akishino’s Aiming for the University of Tokyo or Hitotsubashi University

One year has passed since Prince Hisahito of Akishino, 16, took the entrance examination to the University of Tsukuba High School.

He chose the school attached to the University of Tsukuba after considering the possibility of attending another high school, since the school he had previously attended, Ochanomizu University, would only accept girls from high school onward. She was selected through the “Partner Schools System” between Ochanomizu University and Tsukuba University, and took the academic achievement test on February 13, 2022.

Criticisms of the “Partner Schools Preparatory System” were half-openly voiced, such as, “The selection criteria and process are opaque,” and “I feel that I am being given special treatment.

At the time, the public was much harsher on the Akishino family than it is now, and I feel that this criticism was in response to that. In addition, around the time of the achievement test, it was pointed out that part of Prince Eugene’s essay, which won a literary prize, was very similar to a description in a book published before that time.

In response to this point, Prince Eugene, through the Imperial Household Agency, recalled that “the references were not sufficiently described.

The original’s unique wording seemed to have been appropriated almost verbatim from Eugene’s composition. It was not plagiarism, but I remember that the criticism of the system of entering partner schools was swirling around the time, and it was often pointed out within the Imperial Household Agency that the timing was ‘very bad.

One year has passed since then. One year has passed since then, and we wonder how His Highness Eugene is doing in his studies.

Before entering Chikuzuke, there were some who were concerned that there were many high-level students at Chikuzuke. In fact, it seems that Eugene himself is not doing as well as he had expected.

In fact, it seems that Prince Eugene himself is not doing as well as he had expected.

When Eugene entered the school, he was aiming to go on to a national university. He was not planning to go to Kyoto because of its location, and we think he was aiming for Tokyo University or Hitotsubashi University, starting from the highest deviation score. There is a suggestion that Tokyo Institute of Technology is also a possibility. …… And at this point, it is true that there are those who say that there is a ‘yellow light’ on the above-mentioned universities,” said the same person.

On the other hand, private universities such as Waseda, Keio, and Sophia are emerging as options.

On the other hand, he says that private universities such as Waseda, Keio, and Sophia have emerged as an option. Whether it is a yellow light or not, there are still less than two years to go until the final exam, so I think it is quite possible for him to regain his footing.

Prince Eugene is said to be taking a very positive attitude toward his studies, and of course, he has received a great deal of encouragement.
