Popis: In the midto late 1990s, the Chinese government endorsed Sino-foreign education cooperation for modernizing and expanding the Chinese higher education system to better serve the developing market economy. The decree released by China's Ministry of Education in 2003 approved 721 jointly run educational institutions in China. Activities range from codeveloped new institutions to a foreign degree franchised to an existing Chinese university. The Chinese government emphasizes that such foreign higher education institutions should provide foreign educational resources of excellent quality. However, with almost no program evaluations or strict accreditation measures, the quality of such programs has been placed under question. Most of the programs approved by the Beijing government are also accredited by the accreditation agencies in those universities' home countries—with, however, almost no ongoing oversight on the quality of these programs.
