Educational mobilities of Chinese students

 

People move abroad for many reasons, one being education. Jamie spoke to Cora Xu about the educational mobilities of Chinese university students.

She finds that studying abroad is driven by aspirations for social upward mobility and a sense of purpose in life. However, where one ends up pursuing an education largely depends on family wealth.

Cora is lecturer at Keele University. Learn more about Cora here:
