Call not to teach students to join exodus

The city's middle schools should not be offering classes for students who want to continue their studies overseas, said a senior educator.

Ji Zhiwei, secretary of the Party committee at the Beijing Film Academy, made the suggestion at the Fourth Session of the 11th Beijing Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).

"Too many elite students are flooding to overseas universities at their own expense and most of them stay there," Ji said. "Our education policy should not encourage this trend."
