Suggestion[edit]

I would suggest that this article be delented as the Colleges of Technology (Japan) article is more detailed and duplicates it. Nelmin 09:17, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, except for the title. "College of Technology" is not a topic word for the Kosen school system of Japan, although this naming is used in Japan for the English translation of Kosen especially by the Ministry of Education(MEXT). MAXi 07:24, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
(My recognition is that) English wikipedia prefers English names in article names. If the MEXT translates a kōsen as a "college of technology" it is (quasi-)official name for that categories of institution. The staff already use "college of technology" in their English writings (e.g. academic papers.) "Kōsen" and "Kōtō senmon gakkō" deserve redirects. --Soredewa (talk) 02:51, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Nelmin's suggestion. --Historian (talk) 01:03, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kōsen(高専, high-special-school literally, 高等専門学校 kōtō-senmon-gakkō) is a Japanese 5-year college system for engineers-to-be, admitting boys and girls 15 years-old and over or ones who completed a 9-year compulsory education. Principal engineering courses are provided, such as mechanical engineering, electrical and electronics engineering, civil engineering, industrial chemistry, information science, as well as maritime technology. Since late 1960's, about 10,000 students every year have been graduated from over 50 kosen colleges. Kosen system started in 1962 with first 19 colleges.

Kōsen, as in kosen judo, is also a generic name for old-day high schools and special colleges other than a small number of universities. Those were of the top or tertiary education, roughly before World War II. Only a few years after the war, current School Education Law was established, forming a Japanese school system today.

After World War II, Japan adopted a single-track 6-3-3-4 school-system and keeps it for over 50 years up-to-now. Engineering education has been conducted in 3-year high schools and in 4-year colleges with following graduate schools. In addition, 2-year special-schools(専門学校, senmon-gakko) by way of high schools are very popular nowadays.
