International students have unfavorable news, and certain types of study abroad diplomas may no longer be recognized
The bad news for international students is that such international student diplomas will no longer be recognized.
Studying abroad and starting a life of study is a dream for many students. Many students choose to complete their undergraduate studies in their home country and then transfer to international study for a master's degree. This will not only improve their academic qualifications, but also win the hearts and minds of employers.
Since the beginning of the 21st century, with the continuous development of the economy and the significant improvement of national living standards, many families have become more affluent and have the ability to provide better education for their children. The structure of the international student community has also changed: in the past, it was mainly made up of students sponsored by the state and the public sector, but now independent students are becoming mainstream.
According to statistics, self-financed international students account for more than 70% of the total number of international students. With the rapid development of foreign higher education, the number of colleges and universities is increasing, and the threshold for studying abroad is gradually lowered. Ordinary colleges and universities do not have excessively high requirements other than financial requirements.
However, it is important to emphasize that despite the significant improvement in living standards, studying abroad is still a significant investment. Two or three years of tuition plus living expenses add up to a lot of money, forcing families to come up with a large sum of money. Supporting their children to study abroad is still a huge financial burden for the average family, especially in the current global pandemic, where many families have put their children's study abroad plans on hold due to health and safety concerns.
The double whammy of the economy and the pandemic has created business opportunities for some study abroad agencies. In order to obtain more intermediary fees, these institutions have launched a number of innovative programs, such as students who only need to take ** courses and complete relevant studies in their home country, so that they can obtain a study abroad diploma without going abroad.
While this practice is advantageous in terms of saving money and effort, it is unfair to genuine international students as well as students studying at domestic universities. Therefore, the Ministry of Education cannot allow this situation to continue.
International students have received bad news: degrees earned abroad through ** courses will no longer be recognized. Students should be prepared in advance to understand the impact this change may have on their study plans.
In order to solve this problem, the Ministry of Education issued a notice saying that it is only obtained through online education"Study Abroad Diploma", no matter how good the results are, the state no longer recognizes them. Such international students will not be able to obtain the same level of recognition as real international students in the employment process, so students should be mentally prepared in advance.
The Ministry of Education's notice was quickly supported by university students at home and abroad. This provision is beneficial to everyone, especially in the current situation of fierce competition for employment. increase"Speculation"The term makes it more difficult to find employment.
However, some international students are concerned about this. With the spread of the epidemic abroad, although many international students have been admitted, they are unable to study abroad due to health and safety reasons, and can only stay in China to complete their studies through online courses. For these international students, will the state and society continue to recognize their pass?"Mandatory"Diploma obtained from online courses?
International students don't have to worry too much about this. International students who originally took classes abroad but were forced to stay in China to take online classes in the past two years due to the impact of the epidemic will continue to be recognized by the Ministry of Education and the state as long as they complete the courses in accordance with the regulations and meet the graduation requirements of foreign universities.
In the labor market, international students are popular, and not just because they have a degree. What's more, good international students generally have excellent English skills and independence. They have been influenced by foreign cultures, and their horizons are broader. These qualities are more conducive to the professional level of work.
While some institutions take advantage of students' and parents' desire to pursue a degree and do whatever it takes to earn more agency fees, this practice is good for the institution and bad for students and parents. It is not in the interest of students to spend a lot of money to obtain a degree that is not recognized by the state and institutions, but they do not learn the skills that will benefit them in the long run.
