3. The Future of Japanese Language Education
(2) Qualitative improvement of Japanese language institutes
The present "National Standards for the Operation of Japanese Language Institutes" is in need of revision.

Enhancement of assistance to the Association for the Promotion of Japanese Language Education is also necessary.
