EEI-SAFEA
Operational Partnership
EEI and the China State Administration of
Foreign Experts Affairs (SAFEA) entered
into an operational agreement on 15 January, 2001 to jointly promote the SCHOLARä International
Credit Transfer System in China. SAFEA
is a Chinese governmental department
charged with the
introduction of foreign expertise and the management of matters
pertaining to foreign experts working in the economic, technological and
cultural fields in China. In addition,
it is also responsible for the posting of Chinese officials abroad for training
in specific fields of specialisation.
SAFEA has also set up a training division to provide
technical and managerial training for both the public and private sectors in
collaboration with a national network of university partnerships.
The EEI-SAFEA collaboration facilitates the spread of
the SCHOLARä system to a great number of
institutions of higher learning in China by making full use of SAFEA's national
network of university partners, which will in turn help to promote greater
interest in international exchanges.
This is a significant development in view of China’s relatively
untapped potential in education and its entry into the World Trade Organisation
(WTO).

other upon signing the Memorandum of Understanding
EEI Asia-Pacific HQ in Singapore played host
to a high-level delegation of five visitors from the Tianjin Municipal

Memorandum of Understanding for Collaboration between the two parties on 16
October 2002. The MOU sets out
guidelines for the promotion and
conduct of Tianjin examinations outside China and joint examinations in China
leading to SCHOLARä awards and Chinese tertiary qualifications.

Expects Affairs in Beijing in the year 2001, and the Shanghai Municipal
Professional Examinations Center in early 2002.
EEI is a specialist organisation established to provide education and
examination services to students and institutions of higher learning across

China and the European Union.
EEI sees the world as one big family united by
mutual understanding and the sharing of knowledge. As such, the promotion of international understanding and the
proliferation of educational opportunities are essential to world unification.
EEI recognises the importance of, and its responsibility in community
work. As such, it has set up a fund
code-named FISSION (which is the acronym for Fund
In Support of Students In Obvious Need)
with its surplus in income to provide educational opportunities to
under-privileged pupils in the remote areas and promising young people.
Such sponsorship includes bursaries, scholarships, the adoption of
pupils, and the promotion of language teaching methodology.

university
courses taken in China, Japan, and East Asia countries and
this will assist those institutions in becoming eligible to apply for
U.S.
specialized accreditation from
the International Assembly for Collegiate
Business Education (IACBE).”
