For more on that topic, we are now joined by David Leonard, an educational consultant and Dr. Liu Yuyan, principal of the Camford Royal School in Beijing.

Q1. Why are more and more Chinese students choosing to study abroad? What do you think is the main attraction to studying overseas?

Q2. Some Chinese students who might do very well in the Chinese education system are not necessarily welcomed by overseas universities. What kind of students are they looking for? What type of student has the best chance of entry to a top school like Columbia University? What are some of the main criteria for admission?

Q3. Could Chinese education institutions do more to keep people in the country? What are the major differences between the two systems?

Q4. How much of an issue is costs for these students? Are the fees higher for overseas students? Are they all covered by their parents? Are there any other options like scholarships?

Q5. The fact is some universities rely so much on the tuition fees from Chinese students that they are willing to lower their standards in order to attract more. And it is possible that half of the class could be Chinese students. Is that true? And what is your take on quality control?

Q6. The number of younger students studying abroad continues to increase, with many high-school or even middle school students joining the forces. What’s your take on that? What are the positives/negatives?

Q7. What are the challenges Chinese students are faced with when they study overseas? What do they need to do to better prepare themselves?

Q8. The latest development is that several foreign universities, like New York U. and U. of Nottingham, have now set up satellite campuses in China. What is your take on this and how does this differ from gaining your qualification at the original university?

Q9. Many Chinese students do not come back to China after graduation. Do you see it a loss for China?

Q10. There is an accusation that you are helping them steal Chinese talent!
