'China one' refused abroad

'獨生子'留學遭拒陷窘境

Some foreign universities are refusing applications from "China one," the only child in a family, due to their weak self-care ability, the Jiangnan Times reported. Some parents have wanted to hire a maid for their college-age children. An employee of an overseas education agent said when she was negotiating with Indian universities, there were always directors complaining Chinese students are not as independent as those from South Korea and Japan.

據《江南時報》報道，由于部分中國獨生子女自理能力較差，國外一些大學日前明確表示拒收。某留學機構員工透露，有些家長甚至提出要給孩子配保姆。該員工稱，她在和印度一些大學談留學合作時，經常有負責人跟她訴苦，說中國學生不像韓國、日本學生那樣獨立。
