Problems and countermeasures for the education of Mongolia's overseas students in inner Mongolia

Abstract

The education of overseas students plays an important role in defending a country's political image and improving political position. Many countries make a great effort to develop the education of overseas students which has become the direction and strategy on the development of higher education. With the rapid development of the economy, Chinese language has become so popular that plenty of international students come to China to learn Chinese and Chinese culture. Because of geographic advantages and historical origins in Inner Mongolia Antonomous Region and Mongolia, the number of Mongolian students who study in the college and universities in Inner Mongolia is in greater amounts every year. Although the education of Mongolian overseas students plays an important role in promoting the cultural exchanges between the two countries, the current situations and achievements in education so far are not satisfactory and optimistic. Accordingly, it is urgent to solve the current problems. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
