【新唐人2013年05月22日訊】在中國大陸，出國讀大學的前景，正在漸漸黯淡。大陸出現越來越多留學歸來後長期尋找工作、等待就業的所謂「海藻」和「海帶」們。另一方面，最近幾年，卻興起了未成年孩子出國讀中學、甚至小學的「第四波留學潮」。是甚麼原因讓這些家長提前送孩子出國接受教育﹖請看本臺記者的分析報導。
《2013中國留學白皮書》資料顯示，2012年中國留學生人數，在2011年總數基礎上增長了21.8%，佔全球總數的14%﹔2010—2011學年，赴美入讀私立高中的中國學生，比五年前激增了100倍。
美國聯邦調查局的統計也顯示，2012年在美國持有F1簽證，就讀私立中學的中國留學生人數為23795人，而2008年只有4508人，4年間增長了4倍之多。
而加拿大溫哥華教育局發言人海因里奇表示，在2012至2013學年，溫哥華幼稚園至中學12年級，國際留學生總數達1086人，其中中國學生645人，佔總數六成。與溫哥華鄰近的列治文市中學，2009年的國際留學生人數為450人，但到了2011至2012學年，僅中國留學生已達425人。在紐西蘭，也有來自中國大陸的大量未成年留學生，最小留學生才5歲。
上世紀70年代末、80年代初，中國出現了以公派訪問學者為主的第一波留學浪潮﹔四五年之後，湧現了大量以攻讀碩士、博士學位為目地的自費留學生留學人群；2000年前後，則出現了逃避中國高考的第三波留學浪潮，他們中很多人家庭富裕，成績一般。
目前的第四波留學潮是「90後」和「00」後，主要的留學國家是英美、澳新、加拿大和新加坡。
美國留學生孫宇辰：「中國無論從小升初，到初升高中，哪怕從很小的小學開始，其實無論搞甚麼課改、搞甚麼新課標，所有都是圍著高考轉。我個人感覺，所有在高中以及整個中國教育體制學習的學生，在某種程度上都是受害者，他享受不了美國這種多元化、比較優秀的教育體制。」
美國留學生孫宇辰還表示，現在中國有很多中產階級以上的群體，能夠負擔得起美國每年超過10萬以上美金的留學花費，他們有能力讓孩子選擇好的教育體制。但他指出，學生比較好的留學時機是在高中。
前「耶魯大學」校長小貝諾•施密德特曾公開撰文，批判中國大學，他認為中國大學「對政治的適應，對某些人利益的迎合，損害了大學對智力和真理的追求。」
施密德特指出，「在中國權力主宰一切。文科的計劃學術，更是權力對于思考的禍害，這已經將中國學者全部利誘成犬儒，他們只能內部惡鬥，缺乏批評世道的道德勇氣。孔孟之鄉竟然充斥著一批不敢有理想的學者，令人失望。」
最近，「北京大學」光華管理學院院長張維迎說：中國教育的最大失敗，不是抑制了青年人的創造性，消滅了他們的好奇心，而是使人變得虛偽，說假話不再臉紅！
留學生陪讀家長 崔女士：「我們送孩子出來呢，我們覺得在中國那個社會，對孩子污染非常厲害。在中國這個社會，特別是對孩子它沒有一個好的導向，就是說，人與人之間除了關係和錢，它沒有別的，失去了人最本性的那個——互相之間要真誠、善良。」
這位陪12歲孩子出國讀書的崔女士認為，美國教育體制是按著孩子的喜好安排，教育方式搭配也很合理、人性化，而且出國還能保證孩子吃的、用的、喝的、呼吸的都是安全的，何樂而不為？
《正見網》指出，中共的教育讓學生脫離了明理、明德以及對仁心與義理的理解和實踐，中共編造歷史，鼓吹「鬥爭哲學」，把學生變成了「識字不明理」、脫離中西傳統文化和現代文明的新一代文盲！

Junior School Pupils Form The Fourth Wave Of Studying Abroad
In Mainland China, the views on studying abroad are dim.
More and more students returning from studying abroad have
difficulty in either finding a job or wait long term for one.
In recent years, it has formed the forth wave of studying abroad
for middle school and even primary school pupils.
The main students are juniors. Why do the parents send their
children to study abroad? Please look at the reporter』s analysis.
Data from a “2013 White Paper on China studying abroad"
showed numbers have increased 21.8% from 2011 to 2012.
It accounts for 14% of studying abroad in the world.
In semester 2010-2011, Chinese students entering US private
middle schools sharply increased 100 times over five years.
According to FBI investigation data, Chinese students holding
the F1 visa to study in private middle school number 23795.
In 2008, the number was 4508. In four years,
this has increased by four times.
In Canada, Spokesman of Vancouver Education Bureau said,
in semester 2012 -2013, between infant school to grade 12
in Vancouver, international students number 1086.
Of those, 645 are Chinese which is 60% of all.
In 2009 near Vancouver, in Richmond Secondary School,
there were 450 international students.
In semester 2011-2012, Chinese students numbers alone
went up to 425.
In new Zealand, there are also large number of
Chinese students and the youngest one is only 5-year-old.
The late 1970s and early 1980s, saw the first wave
of studying abroad, with visiting scholars.
After four or five years, large number paying students went
abroad to study master or doctoral degrees.
Since 2000, the third wave of studying abroad occurred.
The students preferred to study abroad other than join
the college entrance examinations in China.
Their achievements are ordinary and their families』 economic
situations are good.
The main part of the fourth wave was post 1990 or post 2000.
The main countries are England, US, Australia, New Zealand,
Canada and Singapore.
Sun Yuchen (overseas student in the US): “In China, all study
activities are geared around college entrance examinations.
This isfrom primary school to high school.
Either the course from the old or new course standard!
I feel that in some sense, all students in the Chinese education
system are victims.
They can』t enjoy the diversification and good education system
like the US.
Sun Yuchen also said that many middle-class groups in China
could afford to pay tuition fees over 100,000 US dollars a year.
They have the capability to choose the education
system for their children.
However, he also pointed out that the best chance
to study abroad is in high school.
Former president of Yale University, Beinuo Schmid Gaudet
has published an article that criticizes Chinese universities.
He thought that Chinese universities were “meeting politics and
profits has damaged the ideal of the university to pursue truth.
Schmid said: “Power charged everything. Through liberal arts
planning scholarships, the power destroyed thinking.
It has enticed the Chinese scholars to become cynics.
They can only fight internally and lack moral courage
to criticize politics.
It is disappointing that there are groups of scholars without
ideals in the hometown of Confucius and Mencius.”
Recently, director of Peking Guanghua School of Management
Zhang Weiying said: “The biggest failing of Chinese education
is not limiting the youth creation but eliminating their curiosities.
By making them hypocritical they will not be embarrassed by lying.
One mother Ms. Cui: “We send our children abroad;
my child is polluted in Chinese society otherwise.
In Chinese society, especially there is no good guide
for children.
That』s to say, there are nothing except money and
relationships between people.
Life has lost the fundamental things:
truthfulness and compassion.”
Ms. Cui thought that in the US education system,
things are arranged according to students』 favorites.
The education structures are also reasonable and contain humanity.
Abroad, there is guarantee safety of food and breathing clean air.
So why not study abroad?
Zhengjian website says that with the education system of the
Chinese Communist Party (CCP), students have deviated from morality and compassion.
The CCP made histories and advocated fighting philosophy.
It made students of new generation illiterate by
“knowing words but not understanding justification” and
“breaking the Chinese away from Western traditional cultures”.
