The market for studying abroad is very hot. Does this unprecedented enthusiasm for studying abroad also mean some kind of "collective unconsciousness of studying abroad"? More importantly, since many families regard studying abroad as an educational investment, it is necessary to carefully analyze its input-output benefits. Then, how should we make a study abroad plan that is in line with children's reality and reasonably design future career, career and life goals? At the same time, what impact will the study abroad craze have on the current education system in China?
The study abroad market has quietly changed: after the standardization of the study abroad industry in 2003 and 2004, the number of study abroad institutions has gradually decreased, the agency fee has also dropped sharply, and the competition in the study abroad market has become more intense. Therefore, the study abroad market has gradually entered the track of steady development from the stage of profiteering. Ding Hongyu, Deputy Secretary-General of the National Federation of China Associations of UNESCO, expressed optimism about the crisis in the study abroad industry. He believes that the sense of crisis and low tide in the study abroad industry is due to the deviation of the views or understandings of the industry practitioners on the profit rate. He further explained that from an industry, according to the profit, it can be divided into five stages: first, the profiteering stage; Second, the stage of higher profits; Third, the average profit stage; Fourth, the stage of meager profit; The fifth stage is unprofitable. According to the judgment, the study abroad market is now moving from profiteering stage to high profit stage. From the absolute living space of enterprises, enterprises can survive as long as they have profits, and now they are at a relatively high profit stage, so the study abroad market is full of hope. When the profit is low, there is still a lot of room for development. Take my colleagues in Taiwan Province Province as an example. Their service of zero intermediary service fee is still developing very well.
In addition, for the development of the study abroad industry, Ma Yue, general manager of Jiahua Shida International Education Exchange Co., Ltd. added that the study abroad market has evolved into a segmented model, and the study abroad institutions meet the different needs of the audience with various modes and channels. With the frequent holding of overseas university enrollment meetings and education exhibitions, the transparency of all kinds of study abroad information is also constantly improving. The change from studying abroad to high-end study abroad and popularization, and the diversification of the choice of study abroad countries lead to the diversification of students' choice of study abroad destinations. The traditional concept of high investment in studying abroad has actually encountered the impact of diversified study abroad mechanisms.
China March to Cultivate Internationalized Talents: Economic globalization is the fundamental driving force for the internationalization of talents. Under the background of economic globalization, how to participate in international affairs, play the role of a big country and improve international competitiveness is the key. Ma Yue, general manager of Jiahua Shida International Education Exchange Co., Ltd. said that China is a hot spot for global investment and should be aware of the urgency of internationalization of local talents. When many multinational companies and international organizations expand their business in China, their preference for graduates from domestic famous universities and their concern for those with overseas study background are the best explanations for the demand for international talents. For China, the exchanges between China and other countries in the world have made unprecedented achievements in both economic and educational fields, both in breadth and depth. The overall level of government management, scientific research and development, enterprise management, internationalization of social services and global awareness are all improving, which is closely related to the continuous sending of international students and the expansion of the number of international students in China over the past 20 years of reform and opening up. By 2005, China had sent 930,000 overseas students and established 2/kloc-0 national demonstration bases for overseas students. Ma Yue believes that not all international talents come from abroad or overseas, but there are also international talents who have grown up through relevant education and training in China.
Cultivating international talents is the foundation of globalization: China's influence in global economic competition is far from enough, and its competitiveness must be improved through all kinds of professional and international talents with good quality. Li Ping, president of Beijing Ogilvy Education Consulting Co., Ltd. said that in recent years, the China government and relevant institutions have been paying attention to cultivating talents with international communication ability and broad vision, constantly strengthening international exchanges and cooperation, and promoting the environment for cultivating innovative talents, which has become the mission of China to participate in global economic affairs and develop mutually with the economic interests of other countries. Ma Yue, general manager of Jiahua Shida International Education Exchange Co., Ltd. also believes that the cultivation of international talents is the foundation of establishing a global economic system. The essence of internationalization is a global communication system, which is consistent with the existing ones. With the change of world trade, the continuous expansion of economic exchanges and the rapid development of science and technology, it can be said that cultivating internationally recognized talents and honest citizens in China is a concrete manifestation of China's accelerated internationalization of talents. It is also closely related to people's lives.
Studying abroad is a shortcut to cultivate international talents. From 200 1 to 2006, the number of students studying abroad was around 1 10,000, and in 2003, the number of students studying abroad reached10.2 million, reaching a peak. However, there are nearly10 million college graduates in China every year, and international students only account for 1% of the total number. Therefore, if China wants to go international, it needs to train a large number of international students. Regarding how to train more international talents quickly, Li Ping, president of Beijing Aoji Education Consulting Co., Ltd. explained that the cultivation of international talents mainly depends on studying abroad, and studying abroad is the best shortcut. Because every student who has studied abroad has experienced language difficulties, homesickness, cultural conflicts and even changes in eating habits. In a sense, when these students have experienced the baptism of different cultures, the influence of different educational methods and the impact of different values, their horizons will become broader, they will have a more comprehensive understanding of the economic development of all countries in the world, and they will have a better grasp of advanced science and technology in developed countries.
In addition, Li Ping said that students with overseas experience have integrated eastern and western cultures, which is an important part of the quality of international talents. China is now facing a good situation of steady and rapid economic development, which is a golden opportunity for talents, especially returnees, who can make great achievements in such an unprecedented economic stage in history. Mr. Li Ping said that China's educational resources are still scarce, and there is still a certain gap between China's education and the international level. Therefore, if high-quality international educational resources can be used by us, students can quickly absorb international knowledge by studying abroad, which plays an important role in the cultivation of international talents. Li Ping repeatedly stressed: "Studying abroad is a lifelong benefit, and studying abroad is a turning point that changes people's life. This is the knowledge of all returnees. "
Private education is also an important base for training international talents: how to build the knowledge structure it needs, how to improve its comprehensive quality and how to train students to become compound and international talents are all problems that education must face and solve. Lu Lu badminton, president of Beijing Holiday School, said that with the unremitting efforts of all private educators, private education in China has developed into an important part of education in China. President Lu Lu badminton said that in the process of training international talents, private education has certain advantages in introducing foreign courses and implementing curriculum plans, and with its unique flexibility, it constantly introduces the school-running concept, school-running model and management mechanism that are integrated at home and abroad, so that it can develop rapidly. Private education and training institutions with a certain scale must take the needs of the state and society as the orientation of running schools. Lu Lu badminton said that private educational institutions must pay more attention to cultivating primary and secondary school students' English communicative competence, establish international awareness, and make unremitting exploration and practice in broadening international horizons. Take the basic work of cultivating international talents as the main work of private education schools.
Internationalized talents need to be cultivated from an early age: Shi Hua, president of Miao Qing International School, stressed that although it is an adventure to let children have overseas experience, it can improve their adaptability to the environment, understand the cultures of other countries, change their thinking mode, and improve their flexibility and communication level. What is important for children to study abroad is not what to learn, but how to communicate with others, which will have a positive impact on the formation of children's outlook on life. Shi Hua believes that the wave of talent internationalization is impacting China, which is moving towards modernization. People from all walks of life in China are trying to keep up with the times by learning to save their energy and make themselves pursuers of international talents. It is urgent to cultivate children to learn and adapt to the essence of Chinese and western cultures from an early age. Shi Hua called for providing children with a very good language and cultural environment so that they can truly become their mother tongue, whether it is Chinese or English. Cultivate their mother tongue of English and Chinese.
Connecting with internationalization and being admitted to international famous schools as soon as possible: As a hot spot for global investment, China should be aware of the urgency of internationalization of local talents. Liu Yuyan, president of Beijing Wang Fu School, said that when many multinational companies and international organizations expand their business in China, their concern for people with study abroad background is the best interpretation of the use of international talents. In addition, President Liu Yuyan said that if we want to be in line with international standards, we must constantly cultivate international high-end talents. It is very important to let more outstanding China students enter world famous schools. Liu Yuyan said that we should learn advanced cultural knowledge and ideas in international famous schools. First of all, parents must make development plans for their children in advance. Applying for a world-class prestigious school means a bridge to international talents. Only by cultivating children's values, cultivating children's ability to think and solve problems, and accepting language, culture, ability and international atmosphere can they be admitted to prestigious schools.
