Chinese and US students will have greater access to educational exchange programmes as the two countries have agreed to expand and promote educational co-operation.
Further cooperation in higher education, language learning and teaching, and primary and secondary education were highlighted in a memorandum of understanding signed by education ministers
from both countries on Thursday.
Margaret Spellings, US secretary of education, described the memorandum as historic at a breakfast panel discussion hosted by the China Chamber of Commerce on Friday in Beijing, thelast stop
of her East Asia tour following Tokyo and Seoul.She said the United States is"deadly serious" about promoting educational cooperation and exchange with China. Her delegation, consisting of 12
US university presidents, is the first ever high-profile delegation of US college and university presidents to China.
"It's even more compelling that on this first ever delegation, China is one of the firsts of the first, as our trip starts from East Asia," Spellings said.Education cooperation and exchanges between the
United States and China have been developing rapidly in recent years. More than 63 000 Chinese students are currently studying in the United States, while
there has also been a rise in the number of US students studying in China.A recent report from the New York-based Institute of International Education, one of the world's largest international education organizations shows that 6 389 US students came to China in the 2005-2006 academic year, up 35 percent year-on-year. The report also lists China as the only Asian country among the top 10 popular destinations for US students to study abroad.Spellings said she was pleased with the numbers but not satisfied.
"US students do want to come to study in China, and we need to help them do that as well as to help Chinese students to come to our country."
On Friday, Premier Wen Jiabao met with Spellings and her delegation in Beijing.
