China Gets Its Own 'Ivy League'
China’s Ministry of Education has approved the C9 conference, an association of elite universities that will allow credit transfer and more flexibility in exchange programs, the Xinhua news agency reported on Monday. Nine institutions -- including Peking University, Tsinghua University, and Fudan University -- formed the group, which is described as “China’s Ivy League,” on October 12. The universities have received millions of dollars in support since the government began its overhaul of the nation's higher-education system, in 1998.
