The Ministry of Education revises the announcement to adjust the entry threshold for "international students"

  [Global Times reporter Li Sikun] According to the news of the Ministry of Education website on the 10th, the Ministry of Education has recently revised and issued the "Notice on Regulating the Relevant Work of International Colleges and Universities Accepting International Students" (hereinafter referred to as the "Notice") for international students to enter Chinese institutions of higher learning. The application qualifications for school-based junior college studies are adjusted.

  The person in charge of the International Department of the Ministry of Education said that in the context of the revision of the Notice, in recent years, there have been some students whose parents are both Chinese citizens, who were born with foreign nationality and received basic education in China. The status of students applying for entry into colleges and universities in colleges and universities has attracted public attention. The person in charge said: "The Ministry of Education attaches great importance to this phenomenon. In order to adapt to the new situation of studying in China and solve the new problems arising in the management process, on the basis of preliminary research and extensive solicitation of opinions, the Ministry of Education The Notice on Work Related to International Students has been revised to further tighten the qualifications for international students to enter our colleges and universities at the junior college level."

  The “Notice of the Ministry of Education on Regulating the Relevant Work of International Colleges and Universities Accepting Foreign Students” was issued in 2009, which clearly stipulates the qualifications for Chinese citizens to enter the colleges and universities as international students after immigrating to foreign countries.

  According to the revised "Notice", for students whose parents are one or both of whom are Chinese citizens and who were born with foreign nationality and entered international colleges and universities as an international student, in addition to meeting other school registration requirements, the applicant Must have a record of actually living in a foreign country for more than 2 years within the last 4 years. For immigrants and foreign nationals who apply to enter our colleges and universities as an international student to study, in addition to meeting other school registration requirements, they must still hold a valid foreign passport or proof of nationality for more than 4 years (inclusive), and Within the last 4 years, there are records of actual residence in foreign countries for more than 2 years.

  "From the current point of view, the revised "Notice" defines the identity of international students more clearly." Wu Ni, director of the Institute for Educational Development and Reform of the Chinese Academy of Education Sciences, said in an interview with the Global Times on the 10th. He said that some people used to use the "ambiguous definition of identity" to wipe the ball and hold foreign passports. In fact, people are still in the country, but they only apply as international students when applying for schools. "If you take the college entrance examination in accordance with normal procedures, some of these students will not be admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University, but they can enter these schools as foreign students or international students." "The revised "Notice" is equivalent Yu blocked the loophole." Wu Ni said.

  Wu Ni believes that the revised "Notice" makes those international students who want to come to China to study more purposeful, "rather than waiting until the application to find that they can not meet the conditions." He added that this can also make the majority Overseas Chinese understand more clearly what conditions their children should have if they choose to go back to school in China. For colleges and universities, Wu Ni said that accepting international students will become more disciplined. "The revised "Notice" further reduces the space for playing the policy and the sidelines. Colleges and universities can not only reduce certain negative effects, but also recruit students who really want to return to China to study."
