China now destination for global students
Print Edition
China鈥檚 education sector made progress in going international during the 13th Five-Year Plan period (2016-2020), the Ministry of Education said on Tuesday.
While seeing many Chinese students studying overseas, China has emerged as a favorable destination for international students and joint-venture learning programs over the past five years, said Liu Jin, head of the Department of International Cooperation and Exchanges under the ministry.
As a result of China鈥檚 opening-up policy in the education sector, talented people fostered gave a boost to the country鈥檚 innovation drive, according to Liu.
Over 2.5 million Chinese students studied abroad from 2016 to 2019, Liu said, noting that 80 percent of these students returned to China after completing their programs.
This year, the country has so far received more than 300,000 applications for credential evaluation and recognition from students studying overseas. The figure is up by some 30,000 over last year, said Cheng Jiacai, director-general of the Chinese Service Center for Scholarly Exchange.
To encourage more students to return from overseas, China will actively address the needs of returning students. It will do so by improving the quality of services and creating favorable employment and entrepreneurial conditions for them, said Cheng.
In 2019, close to 55 percent of international students studying in China worked on degree programs, and the proportion was seven percentage points higher than that in 2016, said Liu.
Liu said students from countries along the Belt and Road route accounted for 54.1 percent of total international students studying in China in 2019. She added that the Chinese mainland offered more education avenues for students from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.
During the 13th Five-Year Plan period, about 45,000 students from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan studied at mainland universities, Liu said. The number of mainland universities that can enroll Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan students has risen to more than 400, out of which 225 are eligible to offer postgraduate programs, Liu said.
