Importance of Sino-US education ties emphasized after drop in enrollments

China Daily  

A joint statement issued by the China Education Association for International Exchange and the US-based Institute of International Education on Monday underscored the importance of Sino-US cooperation in education and efforts to consolidate the results of the China-US Higher Education Dialogue held in New York in September. 2023 Open Doors, a report on a census of international students in the US that was released by the institute on Tuesday showed that the number of international students in the US reached 1.05 million in the 2022-23 academic year, surpassing the number in the previous academic year — 948,000 — and rebounding to the peak level seen in 2018-19. Tian Wang, assistant vice-president of Vision Overseas, a subsidiary of New Oriental Education & Technology Group, said multiple factors may have affected the number of Chinese students studying in the US in the past year, including the COVID-19 pandemic, tensions in China-US relations and economic concerns. Tian said that after the downgrading of COVID-19 prevention measures and with other easing policies taking effect, more Chinese students were now willing to choose the US as their destination for further education. In the first half of this year, US universities among Top 200 in the QS World University Rankings 2023 sent 11,276 offers to Chinese students who solely applied through New Oriental, while similar offers from the United Kingdom topped all countries with 19,347, according to data provided by the education group.
