China has become the third largest country in the world and the largest destination for studying in Asia.
At the press conference, a reporter asked, the report of the 19th National Congress outlined the goal of the "second century" and said what kind of China will be achieved in 2049. Please imagine what will happen in their respective fields in 2049.
Chen Baosheng predicted that in 2049, China will become the most desirable destination for studying abroad, and people of insight from all countries will be willing to exchange and integrate with China's culture, learn from China's development experience, and make common progress through exchanges. China will have a greater say in the rules of the development of world education, and provide China's plan and China's wisdom for world education. China's teaching materials, including hanyu pinyin, will also go global. In addition, by then, China people's right to education will be fully guaranteed, and their good demand for education can be guaranteed.
Chen Baosheng believes that in the past five years, the international influence of education in China has been increasing. At present, more than 180 countries and regions have established educational cooperation relations with China, and 47 countries and regions have signed mutual recognition agreements for academic degrees with China, which means that their academic qualifications have been recognized and gone international. We have established 5 16 Confucius Institutes in 140 countries, and established more than 1000 classrooms in primary and secondary schools, which have played an important role in Chinese teaching and Chinese culture dissemination. Now China has become the third country in the world and the largest destination for studying in Asia.
Chen Baosheng also said that these five years have witnessed the deepening of education reform. A number of landmark and leading education reform programs have been introduced and a new education system has been established. We have now entered the stage of overall construction and interior decoration, such as the reform of the college entrance examination enrollment system, which landed in Shanghai and Zhejiang this year and successfully passed the third-party evaluation.
67 years ago, when New China was founded, there were less than 100 foreign students studying in China. 1950 to 195 1 At the beginning of the year, 33 eastern European students arrived in China as government exchange scholarship students to study in the "China Chinese Special Class" in Tsinghua University, which was the first batch of foreign students accepted after the founding of New China. In the following 28 years, China received and trained more than12,800 international students, almost all of whom were funded by scholarships from the government of China. The scale, countries and number of international students accepted during this period are very limited.
From 1978 to the end of 1980s, the scale of government scholarships in China continued to grow, and the number of scholarships in 1989 reached 387 1. The source countries are gradually expanding and the level of funding is constantly improving. At the same time, the number of self-funded international students has grown rapidly from scratch.
Sixty-seven years later, the number of international students in China jumped from double digits to six digits. By the end of 20 16, there were 442,773 international students from 205 countries and regions studying in China. "Studying in China" has become a window for China's education opening to the outside world and a bridge for friendly exchanges between China and foreign countries.
According to reports, the China government put forward the strategic goal of "by 2020, China will become the largest destination country for studying in Asia, and the number of students studying in China will reach 500,000" in the plan for studying in China released on 20 10.
