Chapter 1609

"More than 1000 exchange places?!"

As soon as William's announcement about the exchange students was announced, he immediately excited the people's Congress students.

Just over half a year ago, the National People's Congress had gone to a group of exchange students to the United States, which made countless people envy, because they were exchanging Harvard University, the world's top university.

Before that, the exchange student business of the people's Congress could only be carried out with the second-class universities in the United States. Let alone the top universities like Harvard. Even the quasi first-class universities may not be able to see the people's Congress. They engage in exchange students with Huaxia University, usually Tsinghua, Yanda and Fudan.

Because of this, the last batch of Harvard exchange students have become lucky stars. They are not only envied by the students of the NPC, but also by the students of every university in the country.

The most enviable thing is that students like Su Yingxue will even be cornered by Harvard. In the eyes of other students, it's just like flying on the branches and becoming a phoenix step by step.

With Su Yingxue as an example, the students of the National People's Congress are far more eager for the qualification of exchange students than other colleges.

Originally, the top students in all majors of the people's Congress were still looking forward to the second exchange cooperation between Harvard and the people's Congress, so that they could also have the opportunity to go to Harvard University for further study.

However, they were disappointed because they didn't know why the exchange student cooperation between Harvard and the National People's Congress had not been completed since the first time.

Many students who are interested in exchange students take the initiative to find teachers, professors and even school leaders to ask, and the results are the same: "for the moment, we have not received any exchange business applications from Harvard, and the National People's Congress has also actively applied for the second round of exchange student cooperation from Harvard, but Harvard has not given any response."

In fact, if Harvard can respond to people's Congress, it's really a ghost.

If it wasn't for Xie huairu's reason of "showing affection to Li Mu", he urged Harvard to cooperate with the National People's Congress on exchange students, and give Harvard another decade, they would not necessarily reach practical cooperation with the National People's Congress.

The reality of the wave of exchange students, including Su Yingxue, is that after arriving in the United States, almost no one can leave a deep impression on Harvard. After arriving at Harvard, these people's arrogant students quickly drown in the thousands of top students in Harvard, even none of them can show up.

It was the same with Su Yingxue. Although she showed some talent at Harvard, she was better than the students who went to Renmin University at the same time, she had no advantage compared with the students of Harvard University.

It is precisely because of this that Su Yingxue will be particularly moved after she gets the offer retained by Harvard, because it is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime good opportunity for her, coupled with her deep admiration and desire for Harvard, which is doomed to be impossible for her to refuse at all.

Therefore, after Xie huairu realized his goal and left Su Yingxue at Harvard, he was no longer willing to promote the exchange student program between Harvard and NPC, so NPC could not negotiate with Harvard even once again.

In this matter, the senior members of the National People's Congress reflected on themselves for some time. At that time, everyone was sitting together in a meeting. Did they reflect on the overall performance of the students sent out this time?

But then, isn't Su Yingxue extremely satisfied with Harvard? Will you not only keep her at Harvard, but also promise to send business schools and full scholarships in the future? It is said that such a thing happened for the first time among exchange students.

People don't understand that they have provided them with such a satisfactory student. Why are they so indifferent?

Later, a female leader thought of one thing and said, "Su Yingxue, is it like Li Mu's girlfriend?"

The leaders of the National People's Congress suddenly realized that when the president slapped the table, "no wonder, that's the way to explain it. Come on, don't continue to communicate with Harvard in the future. It's just asking for nothing."

I thought the cooperation with exchange students from the world's top universities was a flash in the pan, but now, William has brought new expectations to the teachers and students of the NPC.

Sitting next to Li Mu, the president of the National People's Congress was already excited after hearing this.

Even Li Mu himself was slightly surprised.

The top ten institutions of higher learning in the UK have increased the number of exchange students to China by more than 1000 at one time, which really opens a very large exchange student gap for Chinese students.

Under normal circumstances, the top ten institutions of higher learning have tens of exchange students with a country in a year, at most, hundreds of them, and they are still the United States with a large number of top universities.

Generally speaking, the scale of exchange students between the two schools will generally be controlled within ten. Only between top universities and universities of the same level, the number of exchange students will be slightly more.

If it's Cambridge and Harvard, more exchange students are in line with the actual situation of both sides. On the one hand, Europe and the United States are already a relative. On the other hand, the two schools are even. The replacement of resources is relatively fair, and it's easier to achieve win-win results.

However, there is a certain gap between the overall level of Chinese institutions of higher learning and that of the UK. Under this premise, it is even more difficult for the top ten universities in the UK to provide so many exchange places.Li Mu also didn't expect that the Windsor family could help to settle so many exchange places, which would enable China to go out of more than 1000 talented students every year to visit the western world in Britain.

This opportunity may not bring much improvement to the academic ability of more than 1000 people. However, as long as there is a chance to go abroad, it will be of great help to expand the horizons of domestic students and improve the pattern of students.

However, William only talked about more than 1000 places in his speech, but he didn't say how to allocate them.

It's impossible to give it all to the people's Congress. Even if the people's Congress wants it, it can't digest it at all. Because the people's Congress enrolls only a few thousand students every year. If more than one thousand students are sent out every year, the proportion is a little too large.

When Li Mu himself was confused, William said: "the quota of more than 1000 exchange students has been completely determined, and there will be no unexpected changes. However, how to allocate and arrange the quota in China is better decided by Mr. Li Mu, who knows more about the domestic situation. Moreover, the ten exchanges in Britain provide the quota of exchange students The college also highly recognizes Mr. Li Mu, so they are willing to fully accept Mr. Li Mu's arrangement on the allocation of places. "

When William spoke, he gave Li Mu the control of over 1000 places.

The headmaster sitting next to Li Mu immediately asked him in a low voice, "Li Mu, what are you going to do with these 1000 plus exchange places?"

Li Mu thought to himself, first of all, more than 1000 places must be divided. As for how to divide them, normally, since they are provided by the top 10 universities in the UK, they should be digested by the top 10 universities in China according to their own strength. However, the NPC has no advantage.

As the main venue of Li Mu's National People's Congress, Li Mu thinks that it is natural for him to enjoy certain resources, so Li Mu said to the principal: "in this way, after this meeting, I will ask William to work out a specific list, including which school to offer and how many exchange students to offer. Then I will give this list to you, and you will decide what and how many people's Congress wants Less. "

The principal smiled and nodded, saying, "well, that's great."

Li Mu reminded: "the president, in terms of the number of specific indicators, the people's Congress should not account for more than 20% at most. I think we can directly take 20% as the standard. Of all the indicators given by these ten schools, the people's Congress takes 20% equally and the remaining 80% goes to other schools."

The headmaster nodded and said with a smile, "that's certain. We can't take up all the resources. We have to divide some of them into brother schools. I think the proportion of 20% is very good. Let's give the rest to other brother schools."

Since entering the 21st century, the Chinese universities have become very eager for the exchange student resources of western countries. The whole Chinese are constantly opening up and connecting with the world. As an extremely important social foundation, the education industry naturally has an urgent need to go out.

Academic cooperation and exchange student cooperation are the two basic modes that can really let education go out. However, it is very difficult to carry out practical cooperation at the academic level, so the most realistic is exchange student.

So every university has signed "friendly schools" overseas, and actively signed agreements with overseas schools for exchange student cooperation. For example, Tsinghua University and friendly schools have signed a large number of agreements, but there is no such top universities as Harvard, Yale, MIT and Cambridge. The reason is simple: in the beginning, when Harvard cooperated with the National People's Congress, it gave less than 10 exchange student places, This makes Yanda and Tsinghua University and several other institutions of higher learning envious, because there is no exchange student cooperation between any university in China and Harvard except the National People's Congress. The reason is that the comprehensive strength of the universities is too different.

In fact, a university like Cambridge is the same. In terms of the overall strength of Chinese universities at this stage, no university in the conventional way can establish exchange student cooperation with Cambridge, let alone send a student to Cambridge for the purpose of exchange.

However, this time, Cambridge has given more than 100 exchange students places in one breath, which is a real help.

In fact, among the graduates of the top universities in China, there are no lack of postgraduates who have been admitted to the world's top universities. However, for the school, after graduation, the students go overseas to exchange and study with their students. These are two completely different ways. The former has little to do with them, and is at most an alumni.

However, if the National People's Congress can send more than 200 exchange students to the UK every year in the future, it will bring great help to the academic atmosphere of the whole school, the cultivation of the sense of competition among students, and the improvement of the overall level of students.
