Here Todai, gone tomorrow

Article Abstract:

In 1991 graduates from Todai (Tokyo University) comprised 59% of Japan's higher civil service entrants. Companies like to employ graduates from the top three universities, Todai, Waseda and Keio, as they hope they have influential connections. Critics say that these universities are recruiting from the richest families and those who send their children to expensive crammers to pass the university entrance exams.
