Three major destinations for international students

On September 28, 2022, the blue book "China Study Abroad Development Report (2022)" jointly studied and compiled by the Globalization Think Tank (CCG) and Bank of China was officially released. The report shows that China is still the largest source of international students; more and more people returning to China participated in national governance.

In the short term, in addition to the increase in international students received by European countries, the number of international students received by the Americas, Oceania , and Asia has declined due to the spread of the new crown pneumonia epidemic and changes in the global situation, and the number of students studying in the United States has dropped rapidly.

However, as of now, the United States is still the preferred destination for international students around the world, followed by the United Kingdom and China is the third largest international student destination in the world. While studying in other places, international students have also driven local economic development and brought considerable economic income and jobs to these places.

For example, in California and New York where international students gather, international students generate $11.9 billion in economic contributions and support 125,000 jobs. In addition to paying high tuition fees to the countries they study abroad, international students also spend a lot of money on accommodation, retail, transportation, health insurance, and . The market demand brought by life consumption has expanded to create a large number of job opportunities for the countries they study abroad.

More and more international students have returned to China to participate in the construction of the motherland after they have achieved success in their studies and have attracted more and more foreign talents to work at home.

According to the relevant survey of the CCG "2020 China Overseas Returnees Employment and Entrepreneurship Survey Report", the number of international students who started to return to China for employment and submitted resumes to domestic positions in 2020 increased by 67.3% compared with 2019. As more international students return to China after completing their studies or return to China after short-term work, China is gradually forming an international talent circulation trend of "going abroad to further study - returning to China to find employment".

It can be seen that with the change of my country's economic environment, more and more talents will join China to serve the country. The more talents will join, the country's economic development will become better and better and more attractive. This will form a virtuous cycle and play an immeasurable role in accelerating the country's modernization.

Currently, the study abroad situation of Chinese universities

As of now, the study abroad rate of top universities in my country is gradually decreasing, and the undergraduate study abroad rate of Tsinghua University has dropped rapidly from nearly 30% before 2019 to less than 15%; Peking University study abroad rate is also decreasing year by year, and its trend is also consistent with Tsinghua University.

In addition, in Shanghai Jiaotong University , Zhejiang University and other universities, students are no longer as strong as before, and these students are more willing to study in China. The main reason for this phenomenon is that with the continuous development of higher education, my country's higher education has gradually caught up with or even surpassed those developed countries in Europe and the United States in many places.

When there were already high-quality universities at home, students no longer chose to study abroad as their first choice goal, and their first choice became a domestic university. The country is becoming more and more confident in its own education. In some aspects of higher education, from following to moving forward, looking forward to the future, they will become the world's leading higher education.

At present, the country's disciplinary evaluation of universities in my country is no longer following the Western evaluation indicators, but adjusting according to the actual needs of the country - the most representative fifth round of discipline evaluation proposed to break the five principles, and the school's disciplinary construction is evaluated in multiple ways based on indicators of relevant disciplines in scientific research, moral cultivation, and social contribution.

is written in the end

"Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles"! Studying is not about working behind closed doors, but about looking at the world openly so that you can do it - learn, then know your shortcomings; teach, then know your difficulties! When it comes to studying abroad, we cannot be so demanding, thinking that students who go abroad are all meat buns and dogs, and they will go but never return.

Although many students settle abroad after studying abroad and become talents serving other countries, this is an indisputable fact. However, many people have returned after completing their studies and made significant contributions to our country’s construction and development! It’s like the two bombs and one satellite winners and the winners of the national highest science and technology award in the past 20 years. Many of them have the experience of studying abroad, but their contribution to the country cannot be denied.

is like when the public study abroad was first opened, someone once said, don’t be afraid that students will not come back, but go out bravely. Even if one of a hundred people comes back, we will make a profit. What's more, judging from the current return rate of international students, more than 80% of international students choose to return to China to serve after graduation, which is far higher than expected.

What do you think about the more and more international students in our country willing to return to China to serve after they have finished their studies? Welcome to leave a message for discussion, thank you for reading!
