Japan's Foreign Student Policy (FSP), which was restarted in 1954 after the defeat in the World War II, has two major objectives to assist in the development of human resources and promote friendship with participating nations. In this paper, the author evaluates the FSP towards Indonesia and Thailand. A comparison is made between the efficiency, effectiveness and impact of the Japanese Government Scholarship Program with that of the Support Program (designed specifically for those who study in Japan at their own expense).<BR>The Policy Evaluation Matrix (PEM) evaluation method is used in this comparison since it enables a comprehensive policy evaluation taking into account all related programs including their inputs, institutions in charge, outputs and outcomes. It also enables to examine important assumptions for the attainment of the policy objective. One PEM evaluation is performed for each of the two policy objectives previously outlined.<BR>Questionnaire surveys were conducted in Indonesia and Thailand, sampling those students who received Japanese Government scholarships, studied in Japan at their own expense, studied in American universities and graduated from universities in their home countries. Comparisons between the groups were made in order to determine to what extent Japan has succeeded in reaching its policy, program objectives.<BR>The evaluation has brought to light the following:<BR>1. Japan's FSP towards Indonesia and Thailand has been successful in acieving its objectives from the perspective of human resource development and promoting friendship with Japan.<BR>2. Considering the budgetary input and efficiency, Support Program should be strengthened in countries such as Thailand, where many students study abroad at their own expense.<BR>This quantitative evaluation model utilizing PEM can be applied to other policy and program evaluations.
