  英文新闻原文:

Overseas students shun UK and US universities

内容来自www. .com

 

  The market share of international students enjoyed by British and US universities has dropped sharply as Australia,Japan and New Zealand become increasingly popular destinations,according to an international comparison of education systems published yesterday.

内容来自www. .com

 

  The latest edition of Education at a Glance,an annual audit published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development,showed that although foreign students continue to be attracted to the two countries because of the English language teaching and perceived quality of education,in relative terms their position is weakening. 内容来自www. .com

  The Paris-based organisation reported that US market share fell 2 per cent from 2002-3,while the UK suffered the fastest decline among OECD members,falling from 16.2 per cent in 1998 to 13.5 percent in 2003.

  The most recent year used by the report is 2003 so the percentages did not include a 21.3 per cent fall in the number of Chinese students accepted for university courses in Britain this year. Britain is increasingly reliant on the higher fees paid by students from outside the European union     to help sustain its universities for domestic students.

  The overall number of students studying outside their own countries stood at 2.1m in 2003,an 8.3 percent annual average increase since 1998.

  According to the report the international complexion of US campuses has changed strikingly since September 11 2001. The country''s universities have seen decreases of 10-37 per cent in students from the Gulf states,northern Africa and some south-east Asian countries. 内容来自www. .com

  The report also concluded that despite continued,if uneven,growth in the number of graduates churned out by the rich world''s universities,the monetary value of a degree showed no sign of having been tarnished. 内容来自www. .com

  Andreas Schleicher,head of the Indicators and Analysis Division of the OECD''s Directorate of Education,said there was no evidence of inflation of the labour-market value of qualifications and that graduates could expect to continue to earn considerably more than those without a degree.

  Assessing the performance of the world''s schools,Mr Schleicher said Asia was soaring while Europe remained level and South America had slipped into relative decline.

英美大学留学生人数骤跌

内容来自www. .com

 

  据昨天公布的一项国际教诲体系比较研究称,英美大学的留学生市场份额急剧下降,而澳大利亚、日本跟新西兰日益成为受欢迎的留学目的地。

 

 

  最新版《各国教育概观》(Education at A Glance)显示,尽管由于英美两国以英语教养,且教育品德明显较高,本国学生连续被这两个国家所吸引,但相对而言,两国的地位在下降。该报告是经合组织(OECD)颁布的年度教育审计报告。 内容来自www. .com

  总部位于巴黎的经合组织报告说,美国的市场份额2002至2003年降落了2%,而英国在经合组织成员国中降幅最大,已从1998年16.2%的份额降至2003年的13.5%.

  该呈文采用数据的最近年度是2003年,因此该数据并不将今年的情况包括在内,今年留学英国的中国学生人数减少了21.3%.英国正日益依靠欧盟以外学生支付的更高学费,使英国大学可能继续招收海内学生。 内容来自www. .com

  2003年海外留学生总人数为210万,自1998年以来每年平均增加8.3%. CopyRight .com

  根据这篇讲演,自2001年9月11日的事件以来,美国大学校园里国际学生的构成产生了惊人变革。来自海湾地区各国、北非以及某些东南亚国度的学生人数减少了10%至37%.

  报告还得出论断,只管富国大学的毕业生人数仍在持续(或者不均匀地)增添,学位的经济价值丝毫没有贬值的迹象。 CopyRight .com

  经合组织教导指标跟分析部负责人安德里亚?施莱歇尔(Andreas Schleicher)说,不证据显示,学位资格在劳能源市场上的价值正发生“膨胀”,毕业生收入可能冀望比那些没有学位的人高出良多。

  在评估寰球学校的表现时,施莱歇尔先生说,亚洲正在“急剧回升”,欧洲保持原有水准,而南美洲则绝对有所滑坡。
