Is it difficult to study in Italy and graduate?

The country raised these unfilial children and abandoned their mothers when they grew up! Come back to help foreigners compete with state-owned enterprises and dig the corner of the country! The saddest thing is that people around them look at them with envy, and they seem to have really returned home.

In 2000, there were 2 154 undergraduates and 596 postgraduates in Peking University. After graduation, 75 1 of them went abroad to study, accounting for about 20% of the total number of graduates. Among them, 587 people chose the United States, accounting for 78%.

In 200 1 year, there were 22 undergraduate graduates from Peking University and 2002 graduate students. After graduation, 83 1 person went abroad to study, accounting for nearly 20% of the total number of graduates. Among them, 7 1 1 people went to the United States, accounting for nearly 87%, an increase of 9 percentage points over the previous year. This year, 32 students graduated from Peking University majoring in physical chemistry, and 28 directly went abroad to study. 15 graduates majoring in polymer chemistry and physics, 13 students go abroad, accounting for nearly 90%.

Before getting this set of data, a staff member of the Academic Affairs Office of Peking University told reporters that the statistical data of Peking University students studying abroad would not be made public and had not been disclosed to grandparents.

On April 5, 2002, the reporter rushed to the office of Peking University police station in the rain. There is a piece of white paper on the door: push the door directly without knocking. When I went in, I saw that only two staff members were as busy as a bee. The people who handed in the forms came in and out, and the phone kept ringing. While busy with his work, the person in charge of the office took time to say, "This is the peak period of studying abroad. It is still rare for Peking University students to apply for studying abroad. So far this year, there must be more people studying abroad than last year. Most of them study at their own expense. "

Regarding the statistics of overseas students in Tsinghua University, the reporter has repeatedly asked the relevant departments in Tsinghua for relevant data, and the answer is that these data have not been approved by the Ministry of Education and cannot be released at will. However, according to the data of Xinhua News Agency, 1998, more than 760 Tsinghua University graduates directly applied to study abroad. 1999,960 people; In 2000, it broke through the 1000-person mark, reaching 1 120 people; The number of people in 200 1 year remains above 1000, and it is increasing every year.

According to most teachers and students of Peking University, there are fewer liberal arts students and more science and engineering graduates going abroad. For example, physics, chemistry and other related majors have always been subjects with a relatively high proportion of going abroad. As mentioned above, it is not uncommon for almost the whole class to go abroad, so it is logical to hold a reunion in the United States.

In Peking University and Tsinghua, the same phenomenon appeared, that is, many students did not take basic courses in their sophomore and junior years, but prepared for GRE and TOEFL with the "Little Red Book" of New Oriental in their hands.

The reporter walked out of Peking University and met a group of middle school students in a middle school in Sichuan. They were on spring break. Although it is raining in Mao Mao, their enthusiasm has not diminished at all. They scrambled to take pictures in front of the quaint school gate in Peking University. A girl excitedly said loudly to her classmate who took pictures of her, she must take down the word "Peking University". When the reporter saw it, his eyes were full of excitement of a generation.

Tsinghua of Peking University is the altar of these middle school students, bearing their hopes and dreams. But once their dreams come true, when they really step into this door, why do their "pinned" goals quickly become those countries on the other side of the distant ocean? Is this just a dragon gate they jumped over?

Reasons for not returning to China

Why study abroad? The students' reasons seem irrefutable. "The domestic technical level is low, the experimental equipment is poor and the research environment is not good."

Indeed, the current level of economic development in China determines that our academic level and learning and research environment cannot be compared with those in developed countries such as the United States.

However, how do you explain that most students who go out are unhappy?

China Youth Daily once conducted a random interview on the campus of Tsinghua. Among the 18 Tsinghua students interviewed, 14 clearly expressed their wish to study abroad, and the other four students depend on the situation. When asked whether they would return to China, only three people expressed their determination to return to China; Three others said that they are inclined to return to China now, but there is no guarantee that there will be any changes in the future; Four people said that it depends and four people do not intend to return to China.

Many people are actually ready not to come back when they go out.

According to statistics, more than half of the international students in China go abroad at their own expense, while less than one third return home, and the return rate of self-funded international students is only about 4%. Most students in Tsinghua of Peking University study abroad at their own expense on scholarships. According to the above proportion, most of them are "yellow cranes don't visit the world".

Why don't you want to come back? Compared with developed countries such as the United States, the above reasons are valid, because domestic development conditions are not good, the system is not perfect, domestic wages are not high, and domestic policies are not attractive enough.

According to the choice of maximizing personal interests, they did realize the maximization of personal interests. But it is precisely because of the above reasons that we need first-class talents to invest in all fields of society to improve the present situation and enhance the overall economic development level of China.

Peking University and Tsinghua, as national key construction and training universities, have domestic first-class teachers, teaching environment and equipment, and are the two favorite children of the country. However, the beloved child is not ready to repay the kindness of the country. How can we have higher expectations for other children?

I remember the last time I interviewed Professor Ye Lang from Peking University Cultural Industry College, he quoted Laozi as saying, "If you die, you will die. If you die, you will die." "This means that our foundation is in China. No matter how far and high the birds fly, they will fly back eventually.

Three years18 billion, what have you gained?

Starting from 1999, the state allocated1800 million yuan to Peking University and Tsinghua in three years to support the goal of building Peking University and Tsinghua into world-class universities. 800 million yuan, although the funds needed to build a world-class university may not be enough, is by no means a small sum for a developing country. As Xu Zhihong, president of Peking University, said, "The state has given Peking University Tsinghua 654.38+08 billion yuan, which is really a great investment." This is an extra investment and a special budget.

According to the normal funding model, Peking University and Tsinghua get more funds than ordinary universities. Coupled with this policy tilt, it seems that it will not help other domestic universities to catch up faster, let alone compete with Peking University and Tsinghua.

All the phenomena and data tell us an ironclad fact, that is, the state attaches great importance to and cares for Peking University and Tsinghua. In order to build Peking University and Tsinghua into world-class universities, they do not hesitate to favor one over the other.

Why?

Because China is in a period of rapid economic growth, all walks of life are in urgent need of a large number of outstanding talents, especially a large number of outstanding technical and management talents.

But 65.438+08 billion yuan, after more investment, we are surprised to find that we are making wedding dresses for others-first-class talents, especially first-class technical and management talents, leave in large numbers, and they are eager to leave. The more money spent, the stronger the teachers and the better the teaching environment, which only creates more convenient conditions for them to go abroad. A student in Tsinghua sighed with emotion, "If you can go out after graduation, don't go to graduate school in your own country. In Peking University and Tsinghua, the proportion of undergraduates going abroad directly is much higher than that of graduate students.

In fact, both the study abroad policy and scholarship policy in the United States require China undergraduates to study for graduate students. "Xu Xiaoping, an expert studying abroad and vice president of New Oriental, said this at a lecture on studying abroad. A professor at Peking University also admitted that most students majoring in physics and chemistry in Peking University go to the United States to study because the United States lacks talents in this field, so it is easier for students in this field to apply for studying in the United States.

Even those students who have not gone abroad for employment, a large part of them have flowed into foreign companies. The reason is the same, because foreign companies, especially those famous multinational companies, are treated much better than domestic enterprises.

Leading to the brain drain in batches, the power of "example" is endless!

We worked hard to dig holes, plant trees, fertilize and water, but when it was time to harvest the fruits, we watched others pick them effortlessly.

Is there really no environment and battlefield for these people to display their fists and feet in China?

In the same environment, the same policies and the same system, we also see a large number of successful people and successful enterprises galloping on the domestic battlefield. Under the same conditions, why can these people adapt and the lost people can't? On the contrary, although a large number of yellow cranes have revisited their old places and found better soil, how many yellow cranes have "stood out from the crowd" in different places and made great achievements?

Of course, we do not deny that China has not done enough to attract overseas students to return to China, and some domestic systems need to be improved. However, the policies, systems and environment of any developed country are gradually developed, improved and perfected. Why don't our first-class talents have the patience and confidence to integrate into this process?

The investment of 3.8 billion yuan a year is a special treatment enjoyed by Tsinghua of Peking University, but at the same time, do we get a high return? Where are the best talents in Peking University and Tsinghua? One-stop study abroad strategy in ing.com
