He also pointed out the English education in many colleges and universities lagged far behind the reality as many college students who wanted to pursue further education abroad or in China had to be reeducated at English educational organizations such as the New Oriental School.
The way to solve the problems in China's higher education is to bring in a competitive mechanism involving diversified competitors. The participants can be private or State-owned and it can be domestic, foreign or joint venture.
