　明らかにアジアの主要国は国際人の育成に力を入れていることがわかる。このペースでいくと、10年後に日本は政治でも経済でも、国際舞台はおろかアジア圏の中でも、主導権を握るどころか 　One of them の国になってしまいかねない。　単に不況の影響で日本の留学生が減っているのならまだ挽回の余地があるが、危惧するのは、国内だけで満足し海外での武者修行を避ける日本人の“引きこもり”体質が強くなっているのでは　ないかということ。もしそうならば、日本の未来はさらに暗いのではないだろうか。」

NEW ENROLLMENT OF FOREIGN STUDENTS IN THE U.S. CLIMBS IN 2005/06Overall Foreign Student Numbers Stabilize, Ending Two-Year DeclineIndia's student total in U.S. drops but remains #1; Korea's student total up 10%USC remains top host university; California remains top host state; New York sees large increaseWASHINGTON D.C., November 13, 2006 -- In 2005/06, the number of international students enrolled in U.S. higher education institutions remained steady at 564,766, within a fraction of a percent of the previous year's totals, according to Open Doors 2006, the annual report on international academic mobility published by the Institute of International Education (IIE) with support from the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. This marks the seventh year in a row that America has hosted more than half a million foreign students, with a peak of 586,323 three years ago followed by declines of 2.4% and 1.3% in the past two years. The new Open Doors report shows total international student enrollments that are virtually flat compared to the previous year, along with a rise in new international enrollments for 2005/06, suggesting that international enrollments have stabilized and are poised to rebound.

A new analysis included in Open Doors for the first time shows colleges and universities reporting an 8% increase in new enrollments for 2005/06, with 142,923 newly enrolled students in Fall 2005, compared to 131,945 the previous Fall. A more recent on-line survey which IIE conducted jointly last month with seven other national higher education associations to provide an early snapshot of Fall 2006 enrollments shows 52% of U.S. campuses reporting increases in new enrollments for Fall 2006, and only 20% reporting declines (28% reported no change). (See www.opendoors.iienetwork.org for details.) These findings, together with a report from the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Consular Affairs showing a strong rise in the number of student visas issued in the year ending September 2006, indicate that foreign student numbers are increasing in the current academic year.
