京大、２６年度入試から「女性枠」　理学部と工学部

　京都大は２１日、理系学部で女子学生の比率を高めるため、２０２６年度に入学する学生の入試から、理学部と工学部で女性だけが出願できる枠を新設すると発表した。
　京大によると、面接などによって判定する「特色入試」の枠を利用する。募集人員は理学部が１５人、工学部が２４人。
　両学部の女性比率は、いずれも昨年５月時点で理学部が７．９％、工学部が１０．１％にとどまる。女性枠の新設で、理学部は１２．９％、工学部は１２．６％程度にまで上昇する見込みという。その後は、両学部とも女性比率を約１５％に引き上げることを目指す。（2024/03/21-19:33）

Kyoto University said Thursday that it will set up admission quotas for women for its science and engineering faculties starting with students to be enrolled in the 2026 academic year.
   Hoping to increase female students at the departments, the university in the western Japan city of Kyoto will allocate 15 slots for its science faculty and 24 slots for its engineering faculty under an existing special admission program, which includes an interview in its entrance examination process.
   As of May last year, female students accounted for 7.9 pct at the science faculty and 10.1 pct in the engineering faculty.
   By setting up the female admission quotas, the university expects the proportion of female students to rise to 12.9 pct and 12.6 pct in the science and engineering faculties, respectively.
   The university aims to eventually raise both figures to around 15 pct.
