Universities will gain insights through Yale's visit program

Presidents and provosts of Chinese universities will continue to have the opportunity to visit Yale University in the United States to exchange thoughts with teachers and students, according to a memorandum of understanding signed in Beijing on Monday.

Hao Ping, vice-minister of education, said the signing of the memorandum is one of the major outcomes of the seventh annual China-US High-Level Consultation on People-to-People Exchange, which is being held in Beijing on Monday and Tuesday.
