On the afternoon of November 2^th, in order to study and implement the spirit of President XI Jinping’s Reply Letter to all USTB Pakistani International Students, and to implement the HGEAIS project, USTB held a HGEAIS project meeting and the 2021 Study in China leading group meeting. Prof. YU Chengwen, Vice Chancellor of USTB attended the meeting and delivered a speech. Prof. ZHAO Baoyong, Head of International Student Center presided over the meeting, and the principals of relevant departments and international student teaching and training units attended the meeting.

Prof. ZHAO reported on the progress of HGEAIS. According to the  University of Science and Technology Beijing's HGEAIS Program , the work arrangements such as certification preparation, full launch, self-assessment, and self-reformation, have been completed and are currently in the stage of improvement. He detailed the data, materials and other support and assistance items that need to be supplemented by relevant units and clarified the next work plan.

Prof. ZHAO also made an interpretation of the document of  University of Science and Technology Beijing's Mid- and Long-Term Development Plan for International Students Studying in   China (  2021-2035) . He illustrated one by one in six parts including the guiding ideology, basic principles, overall goals, basic goals, work methods, and organization implementation.

Prof.YU made work arrangements for the HGEAIS project and put forward three requirements. The first is to improve ideological understanding. Each unit should appoint a particular person to be responsible for checking materials by the list, sorting out all kinds of reference materials and reporting materials in advance, so as to make the materials detailed and accurate. The second is to strengthen coordination, summarize good practices and experiences in the actual work of various departments and colleges, and further improve the self-assessment report of HGEAIS project, which can fully reflect the advantages and characteristics of our school. The third is to make full preparations and various work arrangements in advance for the experts' admission to the school.

Prof.YU emphasized that the recertification of HGEAIS is an important part of the school's talent training and an important part of promoting the school's internationalization. USTB has a solid foundation for educating international students studying in China. It is necessary to grasp the certification opportunity to further consolidate, reform and innovate. Although this certification preparation is time-critical and tasks arduous, as always, all units should work together and actively cooperate to make all the work practical and detailed, and strive to pass the recertification of HGEAIS with high quality.
