Colleges must look within to stem tide of students moving abroad

According to CCTV, the number of students who study abroad directly after high school is rapidly increasing, against the backdrop of fewer students sitting for the national college entrance examination.

Study abroad used to be the last choice of high school graduates - or the choice of those who failed the exam. But now it has become the priority for many first-class students.

Some begin preparing from the first year of senior high school. During the application season, visa officials from the US, Canada, Australia and France all show their welcoming attitude toward Chinese students by releasing conditions for them to enter their countries.
