It is my
great pleasure to witness the occasion of the SCHOLAR™ Collaboration Agreement Signing
Ceremony between Shanghai Professional Examinations Center and Education &
Examinations International (EEI), whose Asia-Pacific HQ is based in
Singapore. This development sets yet
another milestone in the long-standing Sino-Singapore bilateral co-operation.
SCHOLAR™ International Examination in IT
& Business Administration not only sets a common standard in professional
training, but also provides a cost-effective fast track to further overseas
studies for Chinese students.
EEI’s SCHOLAR™ Regional
Centres operating in different
parts of the world make multi-lateral transfer of students across international boundaries
a genuine possibility. As such, I look
forward to seeing foreign students transferring SCHOLAR™ credits into Chinese institutions in the not too long future.

Affairs in Beijing who share our vision, and the Shanghai Professional
Examinations Center which provides the vehicle to turn this vision into a
practical reality.
The very fact that this occasion is filled with
well wishes from all over the world and attended by many distinguished guests,

On
the occasion of the launch of the SCHOLAR™
scheme in collaboration with Shanghai Professional
Examinations Center, it is my great pleasure to contribute a few words to this
magazine.
In the long period of time during which
I have worked with Dr. Pang, my admiration for his vision has grown steadily.
Never more so than when he first shared with me his plans for
this greatenterprise. I have always
been proud to be associated with him in
our work in China and
to be able to share in this moment is a very special privilege. For him, I
know, it is both exciting and
rewarding to have embarked
on such an important joint venture and I am highly delighted to be able
to contribute in some measure to what I believe will be a very important
project.
As Chairman of the International Examining Board
heading a team of consultant examiners,
I hope to be able to continue to contribute to the spread of the scheme
in China and to help to build that very important bridge between
the academic worlds of China and the West.

projects in China. We wish it every success

I would like to
congratulate and commend EEI and the China State Administration of
Foreign Experts Affairs (SAFEA) on the development and introduction of the SCHOLAR™ System in China. As our global
community grows closer together each day, the need to better integrate
education systems across traditional boundaries becomes essential. The SCHOLAR™ System boldly
provides Chinese students the assurance of a seamless, high quality, global
education experience. By encompassing a
full system of quality curriculum, language training, examination oversight,
credit transferability and many other essential features, the SCHOLAR™ System has taken the lead in bridging the gap that has previously
existed in international education collaborative programs.
National American
University is very proud to have the opportunity to work hand in hand with EEI and SAFEA in providing opportunities for Chinese
citizens to participate
in degree
programs through National American University as well as other American
Universities.
The partnership
between EEI and the Shanghai Professional Examinations Center marks the official take-off of
the SCHOLAR™ System in China. May I take this opportunity to wish SCHOLAR™ all the best and every success in the future.

It is my great
pleasure to congratulate Dr John Pang on the launch of the SCHOLAR™ scheme in collaboration
with Shanghai Professional Examinations
Center.
The rapid progress
witnessed in China has demonstrated the need to integrate China into the global
environment. It is crucial for China
and the global community to achieve a harmonised understanding, not only in political
and economical terms but also from the social and cultural point of view.
With a
long-standing background in industry, I strongly support the SCHOLAR™ scheme and its concept and aim to build the bridge between China and the
Western world. As the Chief
Representative of EEI for the European Union, I hope to contribute to
the expansion of this scheme in China and Europe through my experience from
building business collaborations between Chinese and European companies for nearly two decades.

The launch of the SCHOLAR™ System in Shanghai is an important step in the development of student exchanges
between China and other countries. I would like to congratulate EEI and
its partners, the China State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs (SAFEA)
and Shanghai Professional Examinations
Center, on this
initiative.
In
the international orientation of OTA University, student exchanges with China
are particularly significant. Experiences of many years have taught my
colleagues and myself that academic collaboration with China is not only very
beneficial for all parties concerned but also makes an important contribution
to the development of friendly international relations.
The SCHOLAR™ System facilitates the transfer of
academic credits and strengthens the reliability and quality of academic
exchanges. The English language study courses of OTA University e.g. in
Business Administration are based on the
European Credit Transfer System ECTS. ECTS is particularly suited for
effective co-operation with other international credit systems.
We
are looking forward to a close and fruitful co-operation with EEI and
her Chinese partners, and wish you every success in your work!
