Chapter 1609 Precious Exchange Student Resources

"More than a thousand exchange students?!"

As soon as William's announcement about the exchange students, the students in the audience were immediately excited.

Just over half a year ago, the National People's Congress had already sent a group of exchange students to the United States. These exchange students were envied by countless people because they went to Harvard University, the world's top university.

Before that, the exchange student business of the National People's Congress could only be carried out against the second-class universities in the United States, let alone a top university like Harvard, even if it is a quasi-first-class university, it may not be considered by the National People's Congress. They have exchanged students with Huaxia University. Generally, these schools are Tsinghua University, Yanda University, and Fudan University.

It is because of this that the last batch of Harvard exchange students became like lucky stars, not only envy of college students, but also envy of students from every university in the country.

The most enviable thing is that students like Su Yingxue will even be dug up by Harvard. In the eyes of other students, it is like flying on the branches and turning into phoenixes, and they have reached the sky in one step.

With Su Yingxue as an example, the students of Renmin University are far more eager for exchange student qualifications than other colleges.

Originally, the top students in various majors of the National People's Congress were still looking forward to the second time that Harvard could reach an exchange student cooperation with the National People's Congress, so that they could also have the opportunity to go to Harvard University in the United States for further study.

However, the result made them very disappointed, because they didn't know why, the cooperation between Harvard and the exchange students of the National People's Congress has not been followed since the first time.

Many students who are interested in exchange students take the initiative to ask teachers, professors and even school leaders, and the results are the same: "I haven't received any exchange business offers from Harvard for the time being, and the National People's Congress has also taken the initiative to apply to Harvard. The second round of exchange student cooperation has been held, but Harvard has not given any response.”

In fact, if Harvard can give a response to the National People's Congress, it is really a ghost.

If Xie Huairu hadn't insisted on the exchange student cooperation between Harvard and the National People's Congress on the grounds of "showing his love to Li Mu", and given Harvard another ten years, they might not have reached an actual cooperation with the National People's Congress.

As for the wave of exchange students including Su Yingxue, the actual situation is: after arriving in the United States, almost no one can leave a deep impression on Harvard. Among the tens of thousands of top students, not even a single one can emerge.

Including Su Yingxue herself, although she showed a certain talent at Harvard at that time, she was stronger than the college students who went with her at the same time, but compared with those top students at Harvard,

It can be said that there is no advantage at all.

It is precisely because of this that Su Yingxue is particularly tempted after getting the offer retained by Harvard, because in her opinion, it is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, coupled with her deep admiration and desire for Harvard, it is doomed. She simply couldn't refuse.

Therefore, after Xie Huairu achieved his goal and kept Su Yingxue at Harvard, he was no longer willing to promote the exchange program between Harvard and the National People's Congress, so the National People's Congress was never able to obtain even a formal negotiation with Harvard.

The high-level people of the National People's Congress reflected on this matter for a while. At that time, everyone sat together in a meeting and asked whether the overall performance of the students sent out this time was too poor?

But then again, isn't Harvard very satisfied with Su Yingxue? Not only to keep her at Harvard, but also to promise a future business school recommendation and a full scholarship? It is said that this is the first time such a thing has happened among exchange students.

The National People's Congress couldn't understand why they were still so indifferent when they provided them with a student who made them so satisfied.

Later, a female leader remembered something and said, "Su Yingxue, seems to be Li Mu's girlfriend, right?"

The leaders of the National People's Congress suddenly realized, and the principal slammed the table: "No wonder, then this explanation makes sense, come on, don't continue to communicate with Harvard in the future, it's purely self-indulgent."

I thought that cooperation with exchange students from the world's top universities was a short-lived, but now, William has brought new expectations to the teachers and students of the University.

The president of the National People's Congress, who was sitting next to Li Mu, was overwhelmed with excitement after hearing this.

Even Li Mu himself was slightly surprised.

The top ten institutions of higher learning in the UK suddenly added more than 1,000 exchange student places to Huaxia, which indeed opened a very large exchange student opportunity for Huaxia college students.

Under normal circumstances, among the top ten institutions of higher learning, there are only a few dozen exchange students with a country in a year, and at most a hundred people, and it is still the United States with many top universities.

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

If it is Cambridge and Harvard, more exchange students is in line with the actual situation of both sides. On the one hand, Europe and the United States are originally a family, and on the other hand, these two schools are on the same level, the exchange of resources is relatively fair, and it is easier to achieve commonality. win.

However, the overall level of institutions of higher learning in Huaxia is indeed a certain gap with the UK. Under this premise, it is even more rare for the top ten schools in the UK to offer so many exchange student places.

Li Mu also did not expect that the Windsor family had helped to secure so many exchange student places, allowing Huaxia to send more than 1,000 top students every year to the UK to take a look at the western world.

This opportunity will not necessarily bring much improvement to the academic ability of the more than 1,000 people. However, as long as there is an opportunity to go abroad, it will be of great help to broaden the horizons of domestic students and improve the student pattern.

However, William only talked about the more than 1,000 places in his speech, but did not say how the more than 1,000 places were allocated.

It is absolutely impossible for the National People's Congress to complete it. Even if the National People's Congress wants it, it cannot be digested at all, because the National People's Congress only recruits a few thousand people every year. If more than one thousand people are sent out every year, this ratio is a bit outrageous.

Just when Li Mu himself was a little confused, William said: "The quota for more than 1,000 exchange students has been completely determined, and there will be no unexpected changes. However, how will these more than 1,000 places be allocated in China? I think it is better for Mr. Li Mu, who knows more about the domestic situation, to decide. Moreover, these ten British colleges that offer exchange student places also highly recognize Mr. Li Mu, so they are willing to fully accept Li Mu in terms of the allocation of places. arrangement of Mr.

William gave Li Mu the control of the more than 1,000 places.

The principal sitting next to Li Mu immediately asked him in a low voice, "Li Mu, what are you going to do with the more than 1,000 exchange student places?"

Li Mu thought to himself, first of all, the more than 1,000 places must be allocated. As for how to divide it, under normal circumstances, since it is provided by the top 0 universities in the UK, it should be allocated by the top 10 domestic universities. Come to digest according to their respective strengths, but in this way, the National People's Congress will have no advantage.

The National People's Congress is Li Mu's home, and in Li Mu's view, it should naturally enjoy certain resources, so Li Mu said to the principal: "In this way, after this meeting, I will ask William to sort out a specific list, including which ones The school, how many exchange student places are provided, and then I will hand over this list to you, and you can decide what and how much the National People’s Congress wants.”

The principal smiled and nodded again and again, and said, "Okay, that's great."

Li Mu reminded: "Principal, in terms of the number of specific indicators, the National People's Congress should not account for more than 20 at most. I think 20 can be directly used as the standard. Among all the indicators given by these ten schools, the National People's Congress will take 20 and the rest. 80 points to other schools."

The principal nodded and said with a smile: "That's for sure, we can't use up all the resources, and indeed we have to allocate a part to the brother schools. I think 20 is a good ratio, and the rest is all Give points to other brother schools!"

Since entering the 2nd century, Huaxia universities have become very eager for the exchange student resources of Western countries. The whole of Huaxia is constantly opening up and constantly connecting with the world. Education, as an extremely important social foundation, naturally has its own way. Urgent need to go out.

What really enables education to go out is basically the two basic modes of academic cooperation and exchange student cooperation. However, it is very difficult to carry out practical cooperation at the academic level, so the most practical one is exchange students.

Therefore, various universities have concluded "friendship schools" overseas, and actively signed exchange student cooperation agreements with overseas schools. For example, Tsinghua University has concluded a lot of friendship schools, but top universities such as Harvard, Yale, it, and Cambridge are all No, the reason is simple: misalignment

When Harvard cooperated with the National People's Congress, it gave less than ten exchange student places. This made Yan University, Tsinghua University and several other institutions of higher learning jealous, because apart from the National People's Congress, there is no other university in China that has exchange student cooperation with Harvard. , the reason is because the comprehensive strength between schools is too different.

In fact, the same is true for universities like Cambridge. Judging from the overall strength of Huaxia universities at this stage, no university can establish exchange student cooperation with Cambridge through conventional channels, and no university can send a student to exchange for the purpose of exchange. Cambridge to go.

However, this time Cambridge gave hundreds of exchange students places in one breath, which is simply a relief.

In fact, among the graduates of the top universities in Huaxia, there are many people who have been admitted to the world's top universities. However, for the school, after graduation, students go to overseas schools by themselves, and exchange and study with their own students in overseas schools. Two completely different ways, the former has almost nothing to do with them, and at most is an alumni.

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