Now in Japan, it is widely said that on account of the decrease in the student number at eighteen, not a few universities and colleges will be closed in the not-too-distant future. Many of them are tackling these problems of how they can survive at such severe times. In the 1st chapter I point out the times of the crisis and the need for its reform in Japanese higher education in terms of comparative approaches to higher educotion. In the 2nd chapter by showing the reforms and practices both in U.S. and U.K. universities and colleges, I clarify the implications for Japanese higher education; they have already experienced their survival in 1980-90s. They've changed many aspects of management, staffing, academic structures, teaching, learning, assessments etc. In contrast, U.K. will meet such a survival period because of the decrease in the student number and the pressures from the Thatcher government due to the financial cuts and the bankruptcies of universities. In particular, in U.K. by the education reform act of 1988, universities cannot help encouraging their own reform in the field of the academic tenure, the university grants system, etc. In conclusion, Japanese universities and colleges must have their own strategic plans to survive, based upon the aboved reforms and practices in U.S. and U.K.
