Is there a loophole in the enrollment system for international students in colleges and universities? Our reporter's investigation found that at present, all famous universities in Beijing recruit undergraduates, but the enrollment rules are not uniform, and many schools can apply with foreign passports.
Are international students "college entrance examination immigrants"? Peking University Medical Center responded to the enrollment "no move"
In the north gate of Peking University Health Science Center, there is a light gray apartment for international students. The access control here is very strict, and everyone who visits needs to register. Most people who come in and out are black hair and yellow skin. Recently, a post entitled "There is something fishy about the list of foreign students admitted by Peking University Medical Science Center" appeared in major online communities and became the focus of the network.
In this enrollment list of 54 undergraduates in 2008, most of them have three characters in Chinese, and 22 of them are from Guinea-Bissau. In the thread, someone soon posted a list of international students admitted to Peking University Medical College in 2007, most of whom were Chinese names, and students from Guinea-Bissau accounted for about half. This unbalanced phenomenon has aroused the doubts of netizens. They suspect that there is a new type of "college entrance examination immigrants" in school enrollment, that is, they immigrate overseas first and then "curve" to save the country as international students.
"These students are indeed from China, but our enrollment is in full compliance with national regulations, and there is nothing tricky." Teacher Zuo of the International Student Office of Peking University Health Science Center said that the school strictly abides by the national regulations in the enrollment process, and all the students admitted have foreign nationality. The most questioned students in Guinea-Bissau are indeed Chinese born in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, but they currently hold foreign nationality, which meets the national and school auditing standards for international students. As for investigating why these students are foreign nationals, it is not within the scope of the school's work.
"Many of them have had local nationality for several years. If it is really tricky, we will not send the list online. " The head of the Propaganda Department of Peking University Medical College said that after the list was questioned, the school also conducted an internal investigation to verify the identity of the students, and finally determined that there was no violation in the enrollment process. "No one got in."
On the website of Peking University Medical College, the qualification standards for international students are publicized, including "non-China citizens with valid foreign passports, with high school graduation or above" and so on. If you want to apply for the international student exam, you need to provide the application form, high school diploma documents, high school transcripts and other materials, as well as a copy of your passport, but the staff of the International Student Office said that it is "not convenient to disclose".
Is there a "low threshold" for international student enrollment? The difficulty of the exam is equivalent to the adult college entrance examination (forum)
On April 1 1, the 2009 Undergraduate Entrance Examination was held in peking university health science center. The person in charge of the international student office said that the number of applicants this year has decreased compared with the previous two years. Only 66 students took the exam except the candidates who were exempted from the exam, while only 6 students in Guinea-Bissau received public attention.
"The main thing is that students learn about our school through the website." The person in charge of the International Student Office of Beijing Medical University said that the Ministry of Education organizes colleges and universities to participate in exhibitions abroad for publicity every year. So far, they have been to Singapore, Malaysia, Canada, Greece and other countries, but the school's main publicity method is still through its own website. The announcement of the admission list is also to facilitate candidates to inquire about relevant information.
"Although the number is small, we still take merit as the standard." The person in charge said that in 2008, the admission rate of the entrance examination for international students in Peking University Medical College was 60% for clinical medicine and 40% for stomatology. This year, the standards will not be relaxed because of the decrease in the number of students. According to the reporter's investigation, the difficulty of international students' exams in universities is much lower than that of the college entrance examination.
The staff of the International Student Enrollment of the National People's Congress said that since students will be taught in an all-Chinese environment after entering the school, the exam will also be in the all-Chinese language. At the same time, international students need to submit a certificate of HSK)6 or above when registering. Most of the examination subjects in each school are mainly mathematics and physics. The staff of Peking University Medical Center said that the examination level is similar to that of adult college entrance examination.
"If you are really an international student, the exam is still difficult, but for people who have lived in a Chinese environment for a long time, Chinese is not an obstacle at all." Many netizens said that due to the large number of China students who signed up, the use of Chinese test can't really play a screening role, which leads to a low "threshold" for international students. Most of the students enrolled are international students. Naturally, some people may have the idea of "transnational college entrance examination immigrants".
Teacher Zuo, the head of the International Student Office of Peking University Medical School, said frankly that because the international students admitted are usually poor in mathematics, physics and chemistry, further teaching is needed. The undergraduate education system is 5 years, and the international student education system is 6 years. However, regarding whether the current threshold for recruiting international students is too low, Mr. Zuo expressed reluctance to express his opinions.
