教育部发布今年第一号留学预警赴美留学要注意！（双语）

　　3日，国新办举行新闻发布会，教育部发布2019年第1号留学预警。

　　China's Ministry of Education on Monday warned students and scholars of the risks of going to study in the United States.

　　预警指出：

　　The alert states that the visa applications of some Chinese hoping to study in the United States have recently been restricted, with an extended review process, shortened validity period, and an increased rejection rate, which have affected their plans to study in the United States or the completion of their studies there.

　　一段时间以来，中方部分赴美留学人员的签证受到限制，出现签证审查周期延长、有效期缩短以及拒签率上升的情况，对中方留学人员正常赴美学习或在美顺利完成学业造成影响。

　　教育部提醒广大学生学者出国留学前加强风险评估，增强防范意识，做好相应准备。

　　The ministry suggested that students and scholars assess the risks and make corresponding preparations before deciding to study in the US.

　　教育部国际合作与交流司副司长徐永吉透露，2019年第一季度中国公派赴美留学拒签率高达13.5%。

　　According to the China Scholarship Council, 182 government-funded students and scholars failed to get into the US because of visa restrictions from January to March-13.5 percent of the total. Only 3.2 percent of the total 10,313 government-funded students and scholars were unable to go to the US as a result of visa restrictions in 2018.

　　根据国家留学基金管理委员会的统计，2019年1月至3月，中方公派赴美留学的人员中，有182人因签证问题未能成行，占计划派出逾13.5%。而2018年，中方计划公派赴美留学10313人，其中因签证问题无法按原计划赴美人数仅占计划派出人员数量的3.2%。
