On November 24, Okinawa Okisho High School in Naha City announced that it entered an agreement for enrollment by recommendation with four U.S. universities.

Okinawa Okisho High School Vice Chairman Masaichiro Nashiro and NPO Ryukyu America Historical Research Society Chairman Shizuo Kishaba held a press conference at the school.

 

The agreement is with four state universities, namely Clark College and Washington State University in Washington, Idaho State University, and Kapi’olani Community College in Hawaii.

The agreement entails the Principal and Chairman Masajiro Nashiro recommending any 12th grade student with an Eiken (standardized English proficiency test) level 2 or higher and an Okinawa Karate certification for enrollment to a school of the student’s choice.

 

Those who are admitted will study at the school in the states for two years.

After that, the student can potentially transfer to a different four-year college in the states or transfer to a school in Japan. Vice Chairmen Nashiro has high hopes and said, “In today’s era, we need people who know two or more cultures. We hope the students will learn in the states, come back and succeed.”
