For many, the Gaokao is a major life test and a watershed moment. Some enter prestigious universities, others attend ordinary colleges, and some enter the workforce, leading to different life paths. With this year's major reforms in the education system, parental anxiety regarding their children's future has continued to mount, and policies concerning the Joint Entrance Exam for Overseas Chinese Students have received increasing attention.
Let us first look at the data: the Ministry of Education previously announced that the number of applicants for the 2021 Gaokao was 10.78 million, while the number of participants in the Joint Entrance Exam for Overseas Chinese Students was only 4,484. The competitive landscape between the two exams is clear at a glance. Against the backdrop of the three-child policy, you can calculate how many people will be competing with your child in the year they take the Gaokao.
Amidst various policies, competition, and uncontrollable factors, long-term competition has not diminished, and the pattern of selecting talent through examinations has not fundamentally changed. The pressure for students to advance to higher education is bound to become more severe in the future. Faced with this situation, how can you pave the way for your children?
In fact, while most children are striving for their Plan A, having the courage to come up with a Plan B that is more suitable for your child is true planning. Planning should be done in advance; by paving the way for your child now, you can save yourself a lot of worry in the future.
Compared to the Gaokao, the Joint Entrance Exam for Overseas Chinese Students has many advantages, in addition to fewer applicants and less competitive pressure. Although it still requires taking an exam, the difficulty is low, and the admission score threshold is also low; one can enter a prestigious domestic university with a score of around 400. In the official list of undergraduate institutions with a minimum admission score of 400 for the 2021 national joint recruitment, top-tier universities that domestic students dream of, such as Tsinghua University and Peking University, are all included. For the same university, compared to regular Gaokao candidates, candidates for the Joint Entrance Exam for Overseas Chinese Students are more likely to be admitted with lower scores!
So, when is the right time to start planning for an identity? According to the current policy for the Joint Entrance Exam for Overseas Chinese Students, the candidate and at least one of their parents must have obtained long-term or permanent residency in the country of residence and have resided there continuously for 2 years, with a cumulative stay of no less than 18 months within those two years. The candidate themselves must have actually resided in the country of residence for a cumulative total of no less than 18 months within the 2 years prior to registration.
If the candidate or one of their parents has not obtained long-term or permanent residency in the country of residence, but has obtained a legal residence qualification in the country of residence for 5 consecutive years or more (including 5 years), with a cumulative stay of no less than 30 months within those 5 years, and the candidate themselves has actually resided in the country of residence for a cumulative total of no less than 30 months within the 5 years prior to registration, they may also register for the Joint Entrance Exam for Overseas Chinese Students.
Educational planning should be done early rather than late. Parents should plan for their children in advance and achieve identity conversion through immigration. Currently, the Greece Investment Immigration Program has become a preferred choice for parents due to its low investment amount and simple application requirements. It is worth noting that if you want your child to participate in the 2024 Overseas Chinese Student Exam, the planning for Greek permanent residency has already entered the countdown stage; you need to start configuring the identity now.
Investors only need to purchase real estate worth 250,000 euros or more to apply for Greek permanent residency for the whole family of three generations in one step, meeting the corresponding conditions to participate in the Joint Entrance Exam for Overseas Chinese Students and enter domestic prestigious universities with lower scores. The Greece Investment Immigration Program has a low threshold, with no requirements for language, immigration jail (for permanent residency), business operation, or proof of source of funds. At the same time, Greece has a pleasant climate with over 300 days of sunshine per year, making it very livable. Immigrating to Greece allows you to enjoy Mediterranean cuisine, benefit from its comprehensive medical and educational welfare, and travel freely through 26 Schengen countries.
Currently, it is a good time to immigrate to Greece, as Greek property prices are showing strong growth momentum and will continue to rise for a long time. Even the legendary investor Warren Buffett favors Greek real estate. Previously, Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices decided to invest in the Greek real estate sector, foreseeing the huge business opportunities and the past massive investment demand in Greek real estate, which is expected to peak in the coming years. In fact, it is not just Warren Buffett who is optimistic about the investment prospects in Greece; many well-known companies such as Amazon, Microsoft, Xiaomi, Alibaba, Fosun Group, and COSCO Shipping have already invested and laid out their presence in Greece!
