The interest of international students has declined, and the United States is a bit "panic"

On Monday, the U.S. State Department and the Department of Education issued a joint statement to promote the United States as a destination for international students and a place for global academic exchanges. The statement stated that international academic connections established through student exchanges, teaching, and collaborative research are vital to the security, prosperity and innovation of the United States. The federal government should play a role in strengthening and promoting international education, including the internationalization of American classrooms and campuses. Due to the belief that the policies of the previous administration of the United States were not very friendly, the interest of foreign students in the United States has declined. In the 2019-20 school year, the number of international students registered by higher education institutions in the United States has slightly decreased. The reasons include international students' concerns about high tuition fees and the possible suspension of OPT. He added that although it has contributed more than 39 billion U.S. dollars to the U.S. economy and supported about 410,000 jobs, the significance of international students to the U.S. does not stop there. "We have attracted so many global talents, which is an important source of the strength of the US economy." The degree to which a country incorporates international talents, especially in the fields of high technology and artificial intelligence, has been regarded as the key to maintaining global competitiveness. A report published by the American Council on Education shows that in 2016, the number of technical and scientific jobs in the United States exceeded the number of qualified employees by three million, and by 2030, the number of jobs in the world is expected to exceed 8,500. There is a shortage of 10,000 skilled workers, which means that annual income will be reduced by 8.5 trillion US dollars. Learn more about 新加坡数学
