“More than a thousand exchange students quotas?!”

As soon as William announced the matter about exchange students, the college students in the audience were immediately excited.

Just over half a year ago, Renmin University had already sent a group of exchange students to the United States. These exchange students made countless people envious because they were in exchange for Harvard University, the world's top university.

Before this, the exchange student business of Renmin University could only be carried out in line with second-rate universities in the United States. Not to mention top universities like Harvard, even quasi-first-class universities may not be able to look up to Renmin University. They have exchange student students with Huaxia University, usually Tsinghua University, Yan University, and Fudan.

It is precisely because of this that the last group of Harvard exchange students have become lucky stars. Not only are the students of Renmin University envied, but students from every university in the country envied.

The most enviable thing is that students like Su Yingxue may even be poached by Harvard. In the eyes of other students, this is like flying up to the branch and turning into a phoenix, reaching the sky in one step.

With Su Yingxue as a role model, students at Renmin University have a much desire for exchange student qualifications than other colleges.

Originally, top students from various majors in Renmin University were still looking forward to Harvard reaching a second exchange student cooperation with Renmin University, so that they could also have the opportunity to go to Harvard University in the United States for further studies.

However, the result disappointed them because they didn't know why, since the cooperation between Harvard and the exchange students at Renmin University ended, there was no further information on the following.

Many students who are interested in exchange students take the initiative to find teachers, professors and even school leaders to inquire, and the results are the same: "I have not received any exchange business intentions from Harvard for the time being. The National People's Congress has also actively applied for the second round of exchange student cooperation from Harvard, but Harvard has not given any response."

In fact, it would be a real ghost if Harvard could respond to the National People's Congress.

If Xie Huairu had not advocated Harvard and NPC for exchange student cooperation on the grounds of "showing goodwill to Li Mu", and for Harvard another ten years, they might not have reached actual cooperation with NPC.

The actual situation of the exchange students, including Su Yingxue, is: After arriving in the United States, almost no one could leave a deep impression on Harvard. After arriving in Harvard, these prides of the National People's Congress quickly submerged among the thousands of top students at Harvard, and there was not even a single one that could emerge.

The same is true for Su Yingxue herself. Although she showed a certain talent at Harvard at that time, she was stronger than the college students who went with her at the same time, she could be said to have no advantage compared to the top students at Harvard's school.

It is precisely because of this that Su Yingxue was particularly moved after receiving the offer she retained by Harvard, because in her opinion, it was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Coupled with her admiration and desire for Harvard in her bones, she was destined to be unable to refuse at all.

Therefore, after Xie Huairu achieved his goal and left Su Yingxue at Harvard, he was no longer willing to promote the exchange student program between Harvard and Renmin University, so Renmin University never made even a formal negotiation with Harvard.

The senior executives of the National People's Congress have reflected on this matter for a while. Everyone sat together at a meeting to reflect on whether the overall performance of the students sent out this time was too poor?

But then again, isn’t Harvard extremely satisfied with Su Yingxue? Not only do I want to keep her at Harvard, but I also promised to be admitted to the business school and a full scholarship in the future? It is said that this is the first time that such a thing happened among exchange students.

The National People's Congress couldn't understand why they provided them with a student who made them so satisfied. Why were they still so cold?

Later, a female leader remembered something and said, "Su Yingxue, it seems to be Li Mu's girlfriend, right?"

The leaders of the National People's Congress suddenly realized, and the principal slapped the table: "No wonder, then this will be clear. So, don't continue to communicate with Harvard in the future. It's just to make things boring."

I thought it was a flash in cooperation with exchange students from the world's top universities, but now, William has brought new expectations to the teachers and students of the National People's Congress.

The president of the National People's Congress, sitting next to Li Mu, was already overwhelmed with excitement after hearing this.

Even Li Mu himself was slightly surprised.

The top ten higher education institutions in the UK have added more than a thousand exchange students to China at once, which has indeed opened a very large exchange student entrance for Chinese college students.

Under normal circumstances, the top ten higher education institutions have only a few dozen students exchanged with a country a year, at most about a hundred, and the United States is full of top universities.

Generally speaking, the scale of exchange students between two schools is generally controlled within ten people, and only the number of exchange students between top universities and universities of the same level will be slightly larger.

If it is Cambridge and Harvard, it would be in line with the actual situation of both parties. On the one hand, Europe and the United States are originally one family, and on the other hand, these two schools are not the same, and the replacement of resources is relatively fair, and it is easier to achieve win-win results.

However, the overall level of higher education institutions in China is indeed still a certain gap with that of the UK. Under this premise, it is even more rare for the top ten schools in the UK to give out so many exchange students.

Li Mu didn't expect that the Windsor family would help get so many exchange student places, which would allow China to travel more than a thousand top students to go to the UK to see the Western world every year.

This opportunity may not necessarily improve the academic ability of more than a thousand people. However, as long as you have the opportunity to go out, it will be of great help to broaden the horizons of domestic students and improve the student landscape.

However, William only talked about more than a thousand quotas in his speech, but did not talk about how these more than a thousand quotas were allocated.

It is definitely impossible to give it to the National People's Congress. Even if the National People's Congress wants it, it cannot be digested at all, because the National People's Congress only recruits thousands of students every year. If more than one thousand are sent out every year, the proportion is a bit outrageous.

Just when Li Mu was a little confused, William said: "The quota of more than 1,000 exchange students has been completely confirmed, and there will be no accidents. However, I think it is better to decide how to allocate and arrange these more than 1,000 places in China. Moreover, these ten British colleges that provide exchange students quotas also have a high recognition of Mr. Li Mu, so they are willing to fully accept Mr. Li Mu's arrangements on the issue of quota allocation."

William gave Li Mu the control of these more than a thousand places.

The principal sitting next to Li Mu immediately asked him in a low voice: "Li Mu, what are you going to deal with these more than a thousand exchange students?"

Li Mu thought to himself that first of all, these more than 1,000 places must be divided. As for how to divide them, normally, since they are provided by the top 10 universities in the UK, they should be digested by the top 10 schools in China based on their respective strengths. However, in this way, the National People's Congress will not have any advantages.

As Li Mu's home court, in Li Mu's view, he should naturally enjoy a certain amount of resources. So Li Mu said to the principal: "In this way, after this meeting, I will ask William to organize a specific list, including which school, how many exchange student quotas are provided, and then I will hand over this list to you, and you will determine what the National People's Congress wants and how much it is."

The principal smiled and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Okay, okay, that's great."

Li Mu reminded: "Principal, in terms of specific indicators, the National People's Congress should not account for at most 20%. I think it can be directly used as the standard. Among all the indicators given by these ten schools, the National People's Congress will take away 20%, and the remaining 80% will be distributed to other schools."

The principal nodded and said with a smile: "That's certain. We can't take up all our resources. We have to divide a part of the brother schools. I think the ratio of 20% is quite good. Let's share the rest to other brother schools!"

Since the beginning of the century, Chinese universities have become very eager for exchange student resources in Western countries. The entire China is constantly open and constantly in line with the world. As an extremely important social foundation, education naturally has an urgent need to go out.

What can really make education go global is basically the two basic models of academic cooperation and exchange student cooperation. However, it is very difficult to carry out actual cooperation at the academic level, so the most practical one is exchange student.

So all universities have signed "friendly schools" overseas and actively signed agreements for exchange student cooperation with overseas schools. For example, Tsinghua and friendly schools have concluded a lot of them, but there are no top universities like Harvard, Yale, mit, and Cambridge. The reason is very simple: It is inconsistent.

At that time, Harvard and NPC cooperated with less than ten exchange students, which made Yan University, Tsinghua University and several other higher education institutions very jealous, because except for NPC, no university in China has cooperated with Harvard for exchange students. The reason is that the overall strength between schools is too different.

The same is true for universities like Cambridge. Judging from the overall strength of Chinese universities at this stage, no university can establish exchange student cooperation with Cambridge through conventional means, and no university can send a student to Cambridge for the purpose of exchange.

However, this time Cambridge gave more than 100 exchange students in one go, which was simply a timely help.

In fact, among the graduates of top Chinese universities, there are only a few people who have been admitted to top Chinese universities in the world. However, for schools, students who take the exam overseas after graduation and go to overseas schools to exchange and study with their students. These are two completely different ways. The former has almost nothing to do with them, and at most they are alumni.

However, if the National People's Congress can send more than 200 exchange students to the UK every year in the future, this will be of great help to the academic atmosphere of the entire school, the cultivation of competitive awareness among students, and the improvement of students' overall level.
