“一带一路”背景下如何提升来华留学生招生质量——奖学金视角

How to improve the enrollment quality of international students studying in China under the background of "the Belt and Road": the perspective of scholarship

当前我国高等教育国际化发展面临留学生招生规模与质量脱节的问题,并可能由此带来生源质量降低、学业成就预期降低、国别留学生质量不均衡等各类问题,其本质是在留学生招生规模与质量的历史演进中高等教育目标不够凸显,对质量目标重视不够。当前奖学金对留学生招生质量影响的双面性、留学生求学对奖学金的路径依赖等都可能导致来华留学生招生质量问题持续甚至加剧。为此,当前教育行政主管部门与相关高校应转变留学生奖学金设置理念、不断增强质量意识,增强奖学金投放效益意识、构建持奖学金来华留学生招生质量标准,形成留学生奖学金使用评价体系、加强对奖学金投放与招生质量的监管,尽快推动我国留学生招生从规模扩张向质量提升转变。

In China, higher education international development faces disconnection between scale and quality of international student enrollment, which may cause various problems like lower quality and academic expectation of international students, and their uneven quality of different countries. The essence is that in the historical evolution process of the scale and enrollment quality of international students, higher education goals are not prominent enough, and quality goals are not emphasized sufficiently. Quality problems of international student enrollment may persist or even be worse due to dual impacts of and dependence on scholarship. Therefore, education administrative departments and universities should change setting concepts of international student scholarships, enhance quality awareness, enhance the awareness of scholarship release efficiency, establish enrollment quality standards of international students studying in China with scholarships, form evaluation systems for international student scholarships, and deepen the supervision of scholarship release and enrollment quality, so as to promote the transition of international student enrollment from scale expansion to quality improvement.
