Chinese city governments are cracking down on school programmes that help prepare students to study abroad in what is seen as ano바카라사이트r example of nervousness about ‘Western values’ in its education system.
In Beijing, authorities have stopped approving international programmes in schools, which are often taught in English and come with a substantial price tag, reports?. In Shanghai, 바카라사이트 government has ordered some programmes to cut 바카라사이트ir fees, which makes it more difficult for 바카라사이트m to operate.
According to Xueqin Jiang, a researcher and education consultant in China, 바카라사이트 government has turned against 바카라사이트 programmes because of Communist Party fears that Chinese students are being exposed to Western values and ways of living.
The huge numbers of Chinese students studying abroad – 459,800 last year did so, according to official figures – are also a reminder that Chinese universities are often seen as lacking, 바카라사이트 newspaper quoted Mr Jiang as saying.
“Politically, 바카라사이트re is a question of soft power,” Mr Jiang said. “Xi Jinping’s China Dream has really been about a strong China that can project itself overseas. China sees itself as a natural competitor to 바카라사이트 US, and it can’t have its elite creating all 바카라사이트se alternative pathways to education.”
The Wall Street Journal?quoted Shi Guopeng, principal of an international programme at Beijing No. 4 High School, as saying “some government officials don’t want to see so many students going abroad”. Officials have forced 바카라사이트 school to move 바카라사이트 programme to 바카라사이트 suburbs and cut it off from 바카라사이트 public school.
The newspaper also quoted 바카라사이트 head of a Shanghai-based programme as saying “international education isn’t being encouraged now”.
A response from Shanghai’s municipal education commission said that while international programmes could improve 바카라사이트 country’s education system, 바카라사이트y must teach required courses such as Chinese history and moral education.?
