At the same time, a large number of Australian universities start in the new semester of the new semester of Australia. There are only about 20 days left. The selection of courses has basically ended. Many Chinese students who were studying online in the new semester told the Chengdu Business NewsIt is very difficult to complete visas, re -election courses, and renting houses in the sky.
Under the original intention of ensuring the quality of education, how can the long -range study period come to an end?Xiong Bingqi, the dean of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, told reporters that the special certification system during the elimination of the epidemic was a timely move to protect the rights of students studying abroad.
For 180 days of overseas students during studying abroad, there are international students who are worried about being unable to achieve
On January 28, Xiao Ai studying in the UK just landed in China and received the latest announcement from the Study Abroad Service Center.Xiao Ai told reporters that the special practice of studying abroad during the cancellation of the epidemic and restoring the original certification rules means that she needs to stay overseas for 180 days during studying abroad.Earlier, all her study abroad plans were designed in accordance with the rules of the epidemic period.Xiao Ai said that she has taken enough courses and waits for several online examinations to get credits. Preparation for exams is prepared to conduct internships and examinations in China.I can't keep up with the time of graduation, I am worried that I can't stay for 180 days.
Australian student Xiao Ke, who was originally scheduled to start online in February, told reporters that she decided to study abroad after her savings after work. The existing economic conditions did not allow her to live and study in Australia for 2 years.However, during the epidemic period, Australian universities made it clear that the first semester of this year could still study online, and she started studying abroad. She was preparing for the next half year and completed her studies in one and a half years offline.
"If there is no change, I can't go out. The original economic pressure would be great. Just enough to maintain the abroad of online and offline cooperation, now the rent is soaring, and I can't afford it at all." Xiao Ke said.
A Chinese student who is about to enter school in Australia said that as soon as the announcement was released, the house intermediaries began to issue rent information, and some twice doubled.
Go to Australia to go to the next class to study abroad: There is a trend in class offline
It is reported that Chinese students have returned to Australia, and 3,500 people have arrived so far this month.Government data shows that more than 40,000 Chinese students (holding student visas) were still outside Australia last November, and this number does not include students who are still waiting for visas.
Xiaoming is one of these Chinese students. Among the international students at the study abroad service center of the Ministry of Education, Xiaoming received a reply from artificial customer service.The staff of the Study Abroad Center constantly reminded her that "going abroad as soon as possible."
According to the Australian newspaper, The Group of Eight University recruited nearly three -quarters of Chinese students in Australia.Catriona Jackson, CEO of the Australian University Association (Australian Australia), on behalf of the 39 universities, said they will cooperate closely with the government and the industry to ensure that the university can quickly flow into the students in the first few weeks before the start of the first semester.
International student Xiao Jiang told reporters that the response received currently stated that special circumstances can provide rental, visa and other materials when completing teaching and final academic certification. However, for Xiao JiangWhen I came back in two years, what should I do if I was told that these materials did not pass? "
In the face of similar situations, international students spontaneously form WeChat groups to discuss. In a group where the reporter is, some international students have said that in order to stabilize, they plan to postpone a semester.
International students who are more tense at other times cannot imitate this approach. They told reporters that their demands are the rules of the materials that clearly prove the materials, and they can clearly be able to prepare for academic qualifications.
Compared with some international students who have prepared to start class offline as soon as possible, it is not surprising to the new policy for studying abroad.
"I think this has little effect on students like us who are originally coming and offline, and do not think that people who have been online before the Internet can certify that it is unfair to us. Because students who choose to go online and offline,It is for a complete study abroad experience, not just want a diploma. "During the spring, Xiao Neng, who has already gone to Australia to prepare for the offline class.
Farewell to the long -range teaching era is not a sudden incident. Xiao Neng told reporters that Australian universities have long begun to encourage offline classes.
"I think international students have always knew that online learning is risky. Because Australia has been asking students to return to classes in Australia, for example, our school, old students who return to class in Australia will issue $ 4,000. Some international students have always been always international students.In the discussion, do not plan to go back. If the school cancels the network class, I wrote a letter jointly, and I feel that Australian schools will agree. "Xiaoreng said.
What should I do if I can't return to school in time in special circumstances?
Official response: Combined with specific circumstances of case evaluation
The Study Abroad Service Center of the Ministry of Education also conducted a special interpretation of the New Deal. The interpretation emphasized that according to the country (border) foreign degree certification method, the country (border) academic degree certificate and high level obtained through cross -border remote learning methods and high -level higher educationEducation diploma is not in the scope of certification.After the announcement was released, the diploma certificate obtained by cross -border online learning (including new enrollment and continuing learning) was still adopted in the spring semester of 2023 (autumn semester in the southern hemisphere) and later, which will not be certified.
But if you encounter special circumstances and cannot return to school in time, the official response of the Study Abroad Service Center of the Ministry of Education is: For special circumstances, due to objective reasons, it is impossible to return to school in the spring semester of 2023 (autumn semester in the southern hemisphere).Personnel must keep the written certification materials related to this, and provide it when the certification application is submitted after receiving the diploma certificate.The study abroad service center will complete the case evaluation of the relevant diploma certificate in combination with the specific situation.
So, if students have learned a full degree course, do they need to complete the paper writing to pass the certification?In this regard, the response of the Ministry of Education's Study Abroad Service Center is to continue to complete the academic studies in accordance with the relevant requirements of the colleges and universities in accordance with the relevant requirements of the college.Applicants who study research -type degrees (mainly based on research and writing papers), in the spring semester of 2023 (autumn semester in the southern hemisphere) and later, they should go to study and research in the country of studying abroad.

The New Deal is to curb the act of mixed diploma
"In order to effectively protect the interests of the majority of overseas students and safeguard the fairness of education, our center decided to cancel the special certification rules during the epidemic."
Xiong Bingqi, dean of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, told reporters that many foreign universities resumed offline get out of class as early as the fall semester of 2021. It is not clear why students are still choosing lines.
At the same time, Xiong Bingqi told reporters that as almost all countries studying abroad have opened the border, foreign (overseas) universities resumed offline lectures, and Chinese epidemic prevention and control entered a new stage.There are no longer obstacles in offline education. Special certification rules adopted for the situation of the epidemic situation have no reasons for continuing existence.It is the right choice to cancel this special certification rule.
Xiong Bingqi said that this also gives an active inspiration for choosing overseas students. First of all, we must choose to obtain certified abroad education projects.Not to get a paper diploma.
Xiong Bingqi also proposed that as the scale of studying abroad increases, the value of "returnees" is depreciating sharply. If studying abroad only values a diploma instead of improving his own ability and quality, it will lose.In Chinese study abroad, there is a "garbage study abroad" without any educational value. It is necessary to clear the "garbage study abroad". It is necessary to rely on a strict certification system, but also the choice of studying abroad rationally by studying abroad.
