Top students less keen on overseas courses

China Daily  

Students at regular higher education institutions in China have been the most eager to study overseas in the past decade, according to a report released on Wednesday. The Report on Chinese Students' Overseas Study shows that 57 percent of students who chose to study abroad this year were from regular universities, while 26 percent had been students at top-tier institutes. Li Jun, marketing director of New Oriental Vision Overseas, said the increasing proportion of regular university students indicates that studying abroad has become a channel for the majority of college students to pursue their dreams and a promising future. Figures from the report show that about 84 percent of employers believe studying abroad has a positive impact on students, broadening their views, enriching their life experiences and changing their way of thinking. Education and computer science are gradually surpassing finance to become the most popular industries among Chinese students overseas, attracting them with stability and high salaries, according to the report.
