Overtaking on the Curve to Top Universities
The Overseas Chinese Students Joint Examination is a special college entrance examination designed by the Ministry of Education specifically for overseas Chinese and students from Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan. Its core advantages can be summarized in three keywords: 1. Low Competition: The difficulty of the exam is far lower than that of the national college entrance examination, with the number of candidates each year being only about 1/1000 of that for the national exam. For example, in 2024, the number of candidates for the Overseas Chinese Students Joint Examination was 10,320, while the number of candidates for the national college entrance examination reached 13.42 million.
2. Low Admission Score: The admission score for the Overseas Chinese Students Joint Examination is much lower than that of the domestic college entrance examination, with almost 300 points being sufficient for undergraduate admission, and the admission rate for undergraduates reaching 80%.
3. Low Difficulty: The difficulty is far lower than that of the ordinary college entrance examination, with high school knowledge accounting for 30% and middle school knowledge accounting for 70%. The liberal arts do not test politics, and the sciences do not test biology.
How to Meet the Qualifications for Overseas Chinese Students?
According to the regulations of the Ministry of Education of China, candidates must meet one of the following conditions: either the candidate themselves or one of their parents must have obtained long-term or permanent residency in the country of residence and have continuously resided there for 2 years, with a total residence of no less than 18 months within those two years. The candidate must have actually resided in the country of residence for no less than 18 months in the 2 years prior to registration. Therefore, families interested in this option are advised to plan early.
Children's Education Planning "Plan B"
In the context of increasingly fierce global educational competition, many parents are gradually realizing that an ideal education plan often requires "identity first." For high-net-worth families, changing identity not only provides asset allocation for the family but also opens the door to global educational resources for their children, investing in a future with more freedom of choice.
