Taiwan students drawn to universities in Shanghai
A growing number of high school students from Taiwan are applying to study at Shanghai universities, because of the preferential admissions policies and lower entry thresholds for the best courses. Meanwhile, the number of mainland high school students enrolling at Taiwan universities in 2014 rose by more than 250 to almost 2,000. This year marks the first time Taiwan’s public universities have opened to students from eight mainland cities and provinces, including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong.

Editor’s note: The world has changed fundamentally from having clearly defined Destination Markets and Source Markets. A growing number of students are flowing between the traditionally defined source markets and western international education professions should watch this evolution carefully.
