The Joint Entrance Exam for Overseas Chinese Students has always been a hot topic for parents concerned about their children's education. Since the application requirements are closely linked to overseas status, many clients have recently been calling Visas Consulting Group for consultations. The good news is that the National Joint Enrollment Office recently announced the minimum admission scores for the 2019 Joint Entrance Exam for Overseas Chinese, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan students, along with the list of institutions accepting overseas Chinese students with minimum scores!
Judging from the current admission scores, there is a significant gap between the scores for the unified national exam and the exam for overseas Chinese students! For the Joint Entrance Exam for Overseas Chinese Students, which also has a total score of 750, there is a direct advantage of a 200-point reduction in the admission threshold! The specific list is as follows:
It is worth noting that while the 2019 Gaokao admission scores have not yet been released, we can observe from the data that, nationwide, the number of people who can get into university is not as high as one might imagine. According to statistical averages from recent years, only about half of the age-appropriate youth take the Gaokao. Based on the 2017 actual Gaokao admission rate of 81% (48.19% of the age-appropriate population), the proportion of peers who can enter an undergraduate program is 16%, with 6% for Tier 1 universities, 2.4% for 211 Project universities, 0.8% for 985 Project universities, and 0.03% for Tsinghua University or Peking University.
Against the backdrop of over 10 million total Gaokao candidates nationwide, the competition for the Gaokao will become even more intense; no candidate can easily get into a prestigious university! Unlike the Gaokao, which is a "one-exam-determines-your-life" event, the Joint Entrance Exam for Overseas Chinese Students offers two enrollment opportunities each year, and the advancement rate in recent years has reached nearly 99.9999%. Generally speaking, a score of 200 or above can get you into an art school, and 400 or above can get you into a key university. Most 985 and 211 key universities have an admission threshold of 400 points, including top-tier institutions like Tsinghua University, Peking University, and Fudan University.
The Joint Entrance Exam for Overseas Chinese Students is an entrance exam specifically established by the Ministry of Education of China to accommodate overseas Chinese students with overseas status. It has many advantages, such as a smaller scope of test questions, lower difficulty, lower admission scores, and diverse career paths. The admission threshold for the overseas Chinese exam is far lower than that of the regular Gaokao, which significantly reduces the pressure on candidates. It is known as the "express lane" for easily entering prestigious domestic universities. Because of this, more and more parents have begun to pay attention to the Joint Entrance Exam for Overseas Chinese Students in recent years.
Data shows that 4,678 overseas Chinese students participated in the Joint Entrance Exam for Overseas Chinese Students in 2019. Since 2014, the number of applicants for this exam has remained stable at around 4,500. This policy has been developing steadily for nearly 30 years and is very reliable! This provides a convenient channel for students who intend to enter prestigious universities directly through the Joint Entrance Exam for Overseas Chinese Students! Experts at Visas Consulting Group suggest that instead of letting children compete on the "single-plank bridge" with millions of others, it is better to give them an overseas identity and plan their education in advance—such as obtaining permanent residency in Malta!
Through the Malta Residence and Visa Programme (MRVP), you only need to invest from 70,000 Euros to quickly apply for immigration to Malta for four generations of your family. What you pay is interest, and what you gain is permanent residency in the Schengen Area for four generations of your family. There is no worry about bond depreciation or the trouble of selling bonds for cash. It also allows your children to enjoy authentic British educational resources in Malta and seamlessly connect to prestigious schools in the UK and the US. At the same time, children can participate in the Joint Entrance Exam as overseas Chinese students and enter domestic prestigious universities with lower scores—a win-win situation!
As the only country in the world that is a member of the Schengen Area, the Eurozone, the EU, and the Commonwealth, Malta has attracted the attention of many investors in recent years and has become a "viral" project in European investment immigration. This Mediterranean country, which was under British colonial rule for over 200 years, uses an authentic British education system, and even its official language is English. It is not only a global base for English language education, but its tuition fees are also only half or even one-third of those in the UK, while its educational resources are rich and highly cost-effective.
The Maltese government provides free compulsory education for primary and secondary schools. Public schools are funded by the government from primary school to university, providing 12 years of free education. Even primary school education, including school transportation and textbooks, is free.
