The exam season has begun. This year, His Imperial Highness Prince Eugene Akishino, who will graduate from Ochanomizu University Junior High School, is also a &#8220;student&#8221;.

<h2>Tackling the Hurdles of High School Entrance Examinations</h2>
For some time, various possibilities have been discussed regarding the issue of Princess Eugene&#8217;s higher education. This is because Ochanomizu Ochanomizu, which he attended for 12 years from kindergarten, becomes an all-girls school from high school, and therefore he cannot enter the school internally.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
Although the school is co-educational until junior high school, many boys go on to other schools when they move up from elementary school to junior high school. In junior high school, there are 60 girls per grade and 40 boys per grade. All of these 40 students go on to other national, metropolitan, or private high schools when they enter high school.
 Every year, two or three students go to national high schools, such as those affiliated with Tsukuba University and Komaba University. There are also a few students who are accepted to so-called &#8220;prestigious&#8221; private schools such as Kaisei and Waseda. There are also some students who go on to metropolitan cities or ordinary private schools, so the destinations vary.
(Parents of Ochanomizu Fuzoku graduates) In such a situation, there was speculation that the students might go on to the University of Tsukuba using the &#8220;Affiliated School System&#8221;.
 This system was established four years ago, and is limited to five years. There was also a rumor that the timing of the program was in anticipation of Princess Eugene going to Tsukuba University. There was also a rumor that the timing of the program was in anticipation of His Highness&#8217; entrance into higher education. There is no scholastic test, but a written application and document review. &#8230; &#8230;
If he is going to use this system, he should have made an unofficial decision by now.
 I heard that Chikuzuke installed an auto-lock system in the high school building during this winter vacation. The atmosphere among the current students is that &#8216;it&#8217;s settled. There will be six classes of 42 to 43 students, including internal students. There will be six classes of 42 to 43 students. Some of them are wondering which club activities they will join,&#8221; said a parent of a school affiliated with Tsukuba University.
The school is known for its liberal school culture, and there are no strict school rules. The school is known for its free style, and there are no strict school rules.
 The school rules are one thing, but the guidance for higher education is also quite free. First of all, we don&#8217;t announce the rankings of students in the school examinations. So you don&#8217;t really know where you stand. While metropolitan high schools are starting to focus on exam guidance, this is quite unique, and there are almost no supplementary lessons.
<h2>University entrance exams in three years</h2>
Even though the school is affiliated with the University of Tsukuba, it does not mean that students can go on to the University of Tsukuba.
 Many students start attending cram schools in junior high school to prepare for university entrance exams. Many students attend cram schools from junior high school to prepare for university entrance exams. (laughs) There are a lot of boys and girls who go on to become ronin, and it seems that the school atmosphere is not too resistant.
However, for example, 29 students were accepted to the University of Tokyo in 2021 and 36 in 2020. In recent years, the number of students passing the entrance exam has been increasing. In the case of Princess Eugene, it is unlikely that he will be a &#8220;ronin. His options for higher education include Gakushuin University and Tokyo University of Agriculture. A current student said, &#8220;If he is admitted&#8230;
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 If she is admitted to the university, it would be a precious experience for her to sit side by side with the future emperor. I wonder what he will do with his schoolmates. I&#8217;m looking forward to it.
This is not the atmosphere of a so-called &#8220;preparatory school,&#8221; but the atmosphere of a &#8220;prestigious school. If Prince Eugene were to attend this school&#8230;. As a 15-year-old boy, I hope that his future will be bright and prosperous.
