CHINA-EDUCATION: MORE THAN 5.2 MILLION STUDENTS EXPECTED TO REGISTER FOR MASTER'S PROGRAMMES IN CHINA THIS YEAR

Taiwan's China News Agency disclosed that as China’s enrolment examination for a 2023 Master’s degree opened for registration, it is estimated that the number of applicants will approximate or even exceed 5.2 million. Due to the Covid-19 epidemic and economic slowdown, many college graduates are considering further education as an escape from the tough job market. According to China's Ministry of Education, this year, the number of fresh graduates from China’s colleges and universities set a record, reaching 10.76 million. It is the first time that the number has exceeded 10 million.  (Comment: Chinese students take a nationwide enrolment examination so as to apply for the Master’s program. Last year, the number of applicants for the 2022 Master’s program was 4.57 million. Li Lin, the director of the graduate programs at the New Oriental Education & Technology Group, a provider of private educational services in China, recently said that, out of the 5.2 million applicants, 1.3 million will be admitted. The number of applicants for the 2017 Master’s program was only 2 million.)
