Certificate for Students Achieving the Proficiency Level of Upper Secondary School Graduates (高等学校卒業程度認定試験 Kōtōgakkō Sotsugyōteidoninteishiken) is an examination, taken by individuals who did not graduate upper secondary school (High school). This exam is provided by Lifelong Learning Promotion Division, Lifelong Learning Policy Bureau, MEXT, Japan, started in 2005 as the replacement of the University Entrance Qualification Examination which were held until 2004 in Japan.
The University Entrance Qualification Examination has been accepted for many universities in Japan, such as Japan's most prestigious University of Tokyo because MEXT has been encouraging post-secondary educations to recognise the certificate. However, it is looked down upon by some employers and universities in the United States and other countries as a lower form of degree than an actual high school diploma. The certificate is meant to certify that the bearer has an academic ability equivalent to a graduate of an upper secondary school.
