[quote=FRANKENSTEIN,275493]According to Xinhua News Agency, Chinese ministry of Education says the Chinese government will expand its scholarship program by making 3,000 more awards to foreign students each year from 2008 to 2010.

The Chinese mainland received more than 190,000 foreign students last year, the highest number since the founding of New China in 1949, the Ministry of Education (MOE) said in Beijing on Thursday.

Altogether 195,503 overseas students from 188 countries and regions came to study on the mainland in 2007, up 20.17 percent year-on-year, the ministry's figures showed.

Overseas students entered 544 universities and colleges in 31 Chinese provincial-level areas.

The Chinese government awarded scholarships to 10,151 exchange students, up 19.6 percent over the previous year. Self-funded students totaled 185,352, up 20.2 percent.

By 2020 Chinese universities will enroll 300,000 students from abroad.

A question for foreign friends:

Are you willing to study in China? I have heard many voices critizing China's educational system. What are your ideas about Chinese educational system?
