Chinanews, Suzhou, Jan. 31 (By Yao Jing) - Latest statistics from the
Suzhou Municipal Bureau of Education show that by January 2005, Suzhou
has 2894 overseas students from five continents studying at local
preschools, primary schools and middle schools all around the city and
the county.
Suzhou has witnessed rapid and healthy growth for its open economy in
recent years. About 90 of the top 500 companies and more than 10,000
export-oriented businesses, 40% of which are foreign-funded, have
presence in Suzhou. Accompanying these businesses are a large number of
foreigners and their families working and living here.
Currently Suzhou has nearly 3000 overseas students from 31 countries
including South Korea, Japan, Singapore, the United States, Germany,
France, Peru, Canada, the United Kingdom and Malaysia, mostly from the
first five countries. Overseas students of Chinese ethnicity are mainly
from Taiwan.
The number of overseas students will continue to increase as Suzhou's
open economy keeps growing and as more international schools are opened.
Statistics show that the number of overseas students studying in Suzhou
is increasing year by year. In the 2003 to 2004 academic year, the number
of students increased by more than 300 from the previous academic year,
and for the 2004 to 2005 academic year that number has grown by another
500.
