The government plans to simplify immigration screening procedures and extend the duration of stay for foreign students from fiscal 2009, Justice Minister Eisuke Mori said Friday.
The measures are part of the government's plan to increase the number of foreign students here to 300,000 by 2020, compared to 123,800 as of May 2008.
The Justice Ministry will also unify two categories of study status: shugaku for language and high school students; and ryugaku for university students.
This will allow language school students to attend universities without a change in status.
