Educational exchanges encouraged
“Opening educational resources（资源） to
the outside world is an important part of a
country’s educational development（发展）,”
Minister of Education Zhou Ji said.
This includes sending Chinese students to
study abroad as well as receiving foreign
students to study in China.
China has sent more than 580,000 students
to over 103 countries or regions（地区） in
the past 25 years, and the number of
overseas students studying in China has
continued to rise especially since China
joined the WTO. Last year the Chinese
mainland received a total of 86,000 students
from 170 countries and regions. However,
China faces a shortage（短缺）
of higher-level teaching teams.
There are not enough highly qualified teachers
to teach the number of students wanting to
study above doctorate level, so educational
exchanges are encouraged in China.
The quality of higher education has also shown
great progress over the past several years.
China has signed agreements with Britain,
France and Germany to provide a better
environment for the development of
educational exchanges.

receive也是“接受”的意思，但
