China's Ministry of Education on Wednesday released a list of Chinese-foreign cooperative education projects involving over 50 domestic schools including Tsinghua and Tongji universities, to further support schools via independent recruitment and reduce the challenge faced by Chinese students to study overseas due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Cooperatively run institutions and programs can offer domestic study opportunities to students by means of two-way selection and selective admission as well, the authority announced on Wednesday.
The independent recruitment plan is not included in the national unified enrollment, which will not occupy the original recruitment target and has no influence on the other kinds of enrollment, according to the education ministry.
Meanwhile, universities can continue to provide opportunities to receive those students studying overseas so that they can experience short-term study domestically.
