Most recently I’ve noticed an apparent trend on prospective Bangladeshi students seeking the middle kingdom for their further education. Contrary to popular belief, more and more Bangladeshi parents see their children undertaking higher education in China not as unlikely choice rather a practical one. This line of thought is not ‘unusual’ since education in U.S or Europe entails both tremendous expense and social burden on parents supporting the costs of overseas education. Having China, as the next educational destination is not only inexpensive, in addition, could benefit their children with insights on a rising economic superpower with global stretch and influence.

The Chinese Government Scholarships are an annual scholarship program which sponsors international students and scholars to undertake studies and research in Chinese institutions of higher education. It is aimed at promoting mutual understanding and friendship between Chinese people and people from the whole world, developing exchange and cooperation in education, science, technology, culture, economy and trade between China and other countries. The Ministry of Education of China provides scholarship quotas to different countries. The China Scholarship Council (CSC) administers the recruitment of international students and management of the program.

PRIMARY  EDUCATION (小学 xiaoxue-6years) 

Primary education is a six year course, the usual age of school entrance being 7 years old.  Courses taught include geography, mathematics, Chinese; etc. There is also a certain level of elementary political and moral education. A strong emphasis is also placed on Physical Education.

JUNIOR MIDDLE SCHOOL (初中 chuzhong-3years)
Junior Middle school (junior high) is really a continuation of the primary system, with students studying the same core subjects at higher levels. Again there is an emphasis on sports and physical education, alongside moral and political education. At the end of the three years, all pupils take an examination, which for successful students leads to senior middle school or vocational school. These examinations are considered to be very important as the pass level determines the quality of senior or vocational school into which the students may be accepted.

SENIOR MIDDLE SCHOOL (高中 gaozhong-3years) 
In Senior Middle school, students elect whether to follow science or humanities curricula. These courses are designed to lead to the important National College Entrance Exams. Again sport and political education are part of the curriculum.

HIGHER EDUCATION 
Whatever type of higher education students wish to undertake, they must first take the National College E ntrance Exam. This is held in early July and there are separate exams for science and humanities candid ates. University and College admission is administered nationally and by admissions committees at provincial level, under the Ministry of Education. Students apply for the institution and departments they wish to attend, listing choices in order of pref erence. Admission is decided mainly on the results of the entrance exams, but can also include an investigation into the candidates' "social behavior and moral character."
