Truancy Can Be a "Test-Taking Weapon"! A Former Truant Graduate of the University of Tokyo Explains the Shortcut to University Admission That 14,000 Graduates Have Revealed

On July 3, 2026 (Fri), Kizuki Kyuiku Juku, a fully personalized tutoring school for students experiencing school refusal (operated by Kizuki Corporation), will host a free online event.

The theme of this event is: "Truancy Can Be a 'Test-Taking Weapon'—The Shortcut to University Admission That 14,000 Graduates Have Revealed, Making Truancy an Advantage."

Purpose of the Event

Many parents wonder:

"If my child is experiencing school refusal, will university entrance exams be too difficult?"

However, it is entirely possible to succeed in university entrance exams even with a history of truancy. In fact, at Kizuki Kyuiku Juku, many of our 14,000 graduates have overcome school refusal and successfully gained admission to university.

The speaker at this event will be Susumu Hanmura from Kizuki Kyuiku Juku. Over the past 13 years, Hanmura has advised over 8,000 students and parents on university entrance exams following truancy.

Drawing from years of consultation experience and real-life examples, this event will clearly explain:

- Practical strategies for turning truancy into an advantage for university entrance exams

- Real-life examples of how successful students managed their time, studied, and selected target universities

- The unique support methods Kizuki Kyuiku Juku offers to guide students to university admission success

This event is designed to help parents of students experiencing school refusal map out a realistic path toward university admission.

Former school refuser

Counselor at Kizuki Kyuiku Juku

Biography: After experiencing school refusal and over five and a half years of social withdrawal, Hanmura joined Kizuki Kyuiku Juku as an instructor, supporting numerous students in their academic recovery. He later became a counselor at Kizuki Kyuiku Juku, providing consultation services to over 8,000 parents and students cumulatively. He continues to serve as a counselor and regularly contributes to media outlets such as The Nikkei and Asahi Shimbun on topics related to school refusal and academic recovery.

Message from Susumu Hanmura

Many people perceive the phrase "university entrance exams" as representing a "high barrier." Especially for those who have experienced school refusal or are currently in that situation, this barrier may seem insurmountable.

"I don't feel capable of continuing to study."

"Will I have the physical and mental strength to keep going?"

These anxieties may lead some to consider giving up.

However, a closer look at today's university admissions landscape reveals increasing mechanisms that make it easier for students with truancy backgrounds to participate. Most importantly, the experience of school refusal itself can be transformed into a strength.

During this event, I will share specific strategies and approaches, along with insights on choosing universities and addressing concerns such as, "Will I be able to attend regularly after admission?"

University entrance exams, which may seem like an unreachable goal, will begin to feel much more attainable. Please join us—don't struggle alone. Use this opportunity to organize the information and take your first step forward.
