Key China Statistics for international educators This report was prepared for international university, college and school partners of EIC Group China. The report covers major education participation rates and domestic capacity statistics and trends in China. Partners will find many of the statistics useful for understanding the education market in China, and for planning their current and future marketing strategies. China is a complex and dynamic education market. The growth in participation rates among school and higher education age cohorts, in the years from 2000-2010, have been extraordinary. Domestic capacity has also grown rapidly to accommodate demand for senior secondary and higher education. Over this period, China’s higher education system grew from 9.3 million students to over 33 million students. Changing demographics is changing market dynamics. With rapidly shrinking school age cohorts, growth in higher education participation for the 18-22 year old cohort from 24.2% to 40% in 2020, will only require a further 17% increase in higher education capacity for school leavers. This is remarkably small compared to the over 300% growth of the previous 10 years. The days of significant “unmet demand” are over, with students better able to choose and access domestic diploma and undergraduate programs. Nonetheless, the number of students going abroad to study has been steadily increasing. We continue to see strong demand at all levels for international education for most destination countries. Overview is that those Partners that position themselves well to meet the needs of students, who have increasing choice at home and abroad, will continue to succeed in student recruitment in China. The focus of this Paper is to provide key statistics covering student participation rates, domestic demand and capacity. We will continue to publish further papers on some of the strategies and opportunities for Partners positioning themselves for the challenges ahead.

Opportunities for recruiting students on Chinese publicly funded scholarships are limited. Scholarships are granted through the Chinese Ministry of Education and a wide range of public authorities primarily for research degrees. Self funded students (or those receiving merit scholarships directly from institutions abroad) continue to dominate the study abroad market.

Admissions rates for students taking the national university entrance exams has continued to rise. In metropolitan centres such as Beijing and Shanghai, admission rates for candidates is over 85% in 2011, leaving a very small pool of students unable to gain higher education places.
+ Notes on Gaokao statistics
1977-1980 high examinee numbers driven by resumption of exams after Cultural Revolution.
Participation rates in senior high school increasing rapidly during this period.
Not all high school graduates take exam. Statistics indicative of demand for domestic undergraduate places.
Peak year in 2008 for absolute numbers of examinees.
High school participation rate continues to grow though school age cohorts in significant decline.
Chinese Ministry of Education objective to grow senior high school participation rate of the 15-17 age cohort from 82.5% in 2010 to 90% by 2020.
Increase in demand driven primarily by increase in participation in age cohort.
Age cohort declining reflected in reduction in examinees after 2008, despite higher participation rate.

Applications for graduate programs via the national graduate entrance examinations.
Graduate places remains highly competitive. While there has been significant growth in places and capacity, domestic provision has scaled up far more slowly than for undergraduate places. Significant unmet demand remains in the system with large number of high calibre candidates unable to obtain a graduate place. International providers continue to be well positioned to grow Chinese graduate student recruitment.

Jiangsu Province serves as a good example of the demographic decline in school age cohorts. In the 5 years from 2006-2010, the Year 7 cohort declined by 29.2%. This cohort graduates in 2015 and faces less competition than any other in history in a greatly expanded domestic university system. Age cohort participation in higher education in Jiangsu has already reached 40%.

Regional reports. The statistics below outline the regional context of Chinese education. Given that many Provinces represent a far larger opportunity for international educators than the traditional metropolitan centers of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, a regional strategy is a mid-to-long term necessity. The Report does not cover how many Chinese students are recruited for overseas education from each Province or region or into which destination markets. Currently, reliable figures for this are not available, with no foreign Embassies publicly releasing student visa statistics with a breakdown by Chinese geographic region. Work with AEI, the British Council, Education USA and other industry organizations to obtain greater understanding of the regional markets you plan to enter. The purpose of the brief regional profiles below is to offer insights into the scope of the opportunity by region, rather than a detailed strategy on how to undertake regional marketing in China. Each Partner has differing recruitment needs, resources and considerations when setting regional objectives. At EIC Group China, we strongly encourage our Partners to visit our regional offices and to join our major events held in March, June and October each year across 17 key regions of China. Beyond this, there are many solutions providers in both China and abroad that can support online marketing and branding in Chinese to create a ‘digital solution’ to the regional issue. EIC’s Partner Services unit also offers solutions for online branding and marketing. Many Partners have internal staff and student resources capable of supporting these efforts at low or no cost. EIC will be releasing a paper soon on how to undertake low or no cost branding efforts online in China. Chris Francis, Strategic Development Director EIC Group

Again, these statistics reflect the origin of students, not where they undertake higher education, which is covered in the regional reports below. Thinking like a Chinese higher education institution would require identifying opportunities, partnerships and channels to market into the major provinces covered in the report. For undergraduate recruitment, targeting students ‘at home’ is key to successful recruitment.
