Some Chinese who have returned home from overseas wont hesitate to flaunt they have an overseas degree which are very childish because the quality of education of Chinese Universities are getting better as shown in the rankings of many evaluation agencies and Chinese univeristy students excel consistently in many intellectual competitions world wide

A university degree is good for the first or the second job. The halo effect deminishes along with the advancement of your career. Prospective employers will take the performance of your employment history as more important criteria for employment in senior positions

English is the medium of education in most popular destinations for Chinese students. If their level of Engiish is not proficient, one or two semesters of crash courses in English will only marginally help them through for their learnings in the initial years. The foundations have to be built at home

I dont trust their pisa on the beginning if they conduct test on nation scale they would be on par with U.S, no way they can beat Japan or South Korea.

what this report has to do with PISA tests?

If ToI prints one word, buy one tonne of salt and gulp it down in one go...........

Are the Indian media that bad in general?
TOI is the Indian news link that I've been visiting the most
Read the comments of the Indians who have engaged in the discussion section - a real eye opener on how they look at our systems and at their own. One thing however is for sure: the name of IIT is as conveniently quoted as you can find 7/11, in all of their discussions relating to education in India

3 percent drop out rate is frigging amazing.

I disagree with the steryotype that Chinese students are the cheaters and party animals.

In my program (mathematics), the Chinese students put everyone else to shame. I see them diligently doing research from 8am to 10pm everyday. Over the holidays, they will get many things done while I will burn money away getting drunk and killing brain cells.

They have this superhuman level of dedication that I simply can't replicate because they have been doing this since they were young.

BEIJING: At least 8,000 Chinese students studying in the US have been dismissed from schools last year. A majority 57 per cent were asked to leave because of poor academic performance, according to research done by an US agency that helps students to obtain admission in schools.

The agency, WholeRen, released a white paper discussing results of a survey of Chinese students dismissed at all levels from 2013 to 2015.

The white paper said that academic dishonesty, including cheating in exams and plagiarizing, was the second-largest cause of dismissal, with nearly 23 per cent of dismissed Chinese students expelled for this reason.

The agency which interviewed 1,657 dismissed students found that a low grade-point average was common among undergraduates and postgraduates who were dismissed. About 61 per cent of the dismissed undergraduates had a GPA lower than 2.0, and 72 per cent of the dismissed postgraduates scored lower than 3.0.

Problems faced by the dismissed students include improper learning attitude, mental and physical problems that contributed to poor academic performance, according to the analysis in the white paper.

Maladjustment to the learning environment in the US and insufficient learning ability are also major factors, Andrew H Chen, chief development officer of WholeRen Education, said.

"Everything about the US education, from the curriculum system to the teaching approaches and question types in exams, is so different from China. It takes a lot of time and effort for students to adjust themselves to that, and some who can't get used to it may fail," Chen said.

In the 2013-14 academic year, 274,439 Chinese students were studying in the US, a 16.5 per cent increase from the previous year. The dismissed students account for three per cent of the Chinese students studying in the US.

"These incidents sometimes happened among some Chinese students who are too eager to get good results, while sometimes Chinese students were implicated when others cheated or plagiarized," Chen said.

Chinese media quoted a Beijing based expert saying that some of the students do not go to the US to study but to get experience of living in the US.

"Some students from rich families don't go abroad for study but for the overseas experience," Li Fengna, deputy director of the US department of Chivast Education International, an overseas study consulting agency in Beijing, said. Some students were dismissed for lack of knowledge about school regulations.

The number of Chinese students dismissed has been increasing in recent years, as the number heading to study in the US continues to grow.

"More related training and briefing should be given to these students, even though there are orientations at school in the beginning of the semester," she said.

most chinese students today studying overseas are useless sons and daughters of rich corrupt people. they mainly go there to party, not study. the article is not wrong.

I don't think some of my primary school/junior middle school classmates are rich corrupt people.
But most of them are weak students~
Wuhan has a middle student that send students to Canada University,the worst students who can't go to a normal Chinese middle school.(Wuhan has a test which will kick out around 30-40% students from going to senior middle school)
I think US is the same.
PS:the student who live behind me who can't get into the first class university(一本院校) in China gets into
Nanyang Technological University, Singapore and get full scholarship..............

I like to party lol. However I only party with other Chinese. That means no parties that aren't on breaks or weekends. Otherwise, if you are a real party animal, the physics program will destroy you.

I remember my graduate statistical physics, electrodynamics and solid state physics classes. They were way too brutal.

This expression of this article is too vaque.
The dissmissed students take part of 3% of 0.27 million Chinese students in US.
57% of the 8 thousand students are asked to leave due to poor academic performance.

This is the correct expression, though the situation is still very serious.

i think at least 3%x4 each year,right?

We just simply wait for your collapse, after that, No one can stop us like in 1979, unifying sub-Mekong region will be just a piece of cake

we dont wait you
