UPEI to Open Campus in China Continued from page I

"Many students in China don't care about the education. They just need the diploma to get a job. Currently the mindset is that it doesn't matter if you have twenty years of experience. They don't care. If someone gets a diploma, they get your job."

"Also, there are many prob- lems with a student's VISA," said Zee. "They really give you a hard time when going from a lower eco- nomic country to a higher one."

Overall, Zee had positive comments on the program.

However, our university isn't the only project on the go with China. Timmons explains "_..another interesting thing is that the Department of Education is - working with ten Chinese high schools. We'd be sending teachers over there."

This would consist of the ten schools sharing a curriculum with the island high schools, thus allowing students the opportunity to study in Canada upon their graduation.

In the first year the new program hopes to attract 60 stu- dents. If successful, UPEI could receive up to 100 students within several years in addition to their current exchange students. Ultimately, this adds to UPEI's growing diversity and academic excellence in the long run, as it opens doors for future possible ventures.
