New categories such as "Logical National Language" and "Literary National Language" will be created, and reading of practical sentences will increase in the common test for new university entrance examinations. In conjunction with this, it is expected that the weight of literature will decrease from that of "National Language" at senior high schools.

Five famous professors at the Faculty of Literature at the University of Tokyo enthusiastically talk about the problem consciousness from the standpoint of each specialist.
