Chinese state councilor calls for increase in higher education exchanges
HAVANA, Feb. 13 (Xinhua) -- Chinese state councilor Chen Zhili on Monday outlined the growing need to promote international cooperation and exchanges in higher education.
The promotion of higher education exchanges is of vital importance in enhancing understanding among nations of the world and is conducive to world peace and common prosperity, Chen said at an international conference on higher education in Havana.
Colleges and universities are of strategic significance for a nation's development, she said, adding that China speeded up its higher education reforms at the end of last century to accommodate its rapid social and economic development.
The number of students in China's colleges and universities currently stands at 21 million, topping the world record, Chen said.
Gross enrollment in Chinese colleges and universities has also reached 21 percent, which has passed the commonly-accepted standard for a popularization of higher education, she added.
Education ministers of 22 countries, including Chinese Education Minister Zhou Ji, took part in the opening ceremony for the conference.
