What's the buzz

Universities in Hong Kong enrolled 291 mainland students based on the results of the national college entrance exam (NCEE) this summer, including 17 top performers. The mainland's top university - Peking University - failed to enroll any of the four top scorers in Beijing, who all opted for Hong Kong universities. China Daily mobile news readers share their views.

In an age when education outweighs everything, many people pursue a higher diploma. If a mainland university wants to keep excellent students, it needs to make every effort to better equip itself to compete with its Hong Kong and overseas counterparts, rather than try to sway them with elusive hometown emotion. Therefore, instead of blaming their counterparts mainland universities should review the cause of why they are not attractive to students.
