BID TO LURE MORE FOREIGN STUDENTS
Beijing is hoping to attract an additional 129,000 foreign students during the next decade as it seeks to make its learning facilities better recognized internationally. In order to achieve the goal, the education authorities will grant more scholarships to foreign students, encourage cooperation between local schools and elite overseas educational institutions and establish more Confucius Institutes in universities in Beijing that will meet demand for Mandarin classes.
