Hello, welcome to Education Today, brought to you from our studio here in Beijing.

Coming up,
256 students and alumni of Xiamen University have written a letter to the Minister of Education and university's president, calling on the country to make regulations to prevent sexual harassment in college.
Policy suggestions regarding campus sexual harassment have been drafted in the letter.
Their letter follows allegations that a history professor had enticed female students into having sex with him. A probe over the case has been underway for three months and no results have been released yet.
The allegations have sparked controversy on the Internet, with a host of netizens condemning the professor's alleged behavior.
No university on the Chinese mainland has made rules to prevent sexual harassment.
Looking into the UK, Prince William unveils a China study center in Oxford
The Duke of Cambridge, Prince William, unveiled a new China Center in the University of Oxford on Monday.
Covering an area nearly 5,500 square meters, the new Dickson Poon University of Oxford China Center in St Hugh's College costs about 21 million pounds.
Dickson Poon, a philanthropist from Hong Kong, China, is one of the major donors of the center, who contributed 10 million British pounds (16.14 million U.S. dollars).
The Duke of Cambridge said learning from and learning about China has never been more important than it is now.
The new center will draw together experts from across this University, as well as international China specialists and institutions involved with China.
Moving on to Enping in Guangdong province, 1m yuan in awards await top graduates.
High school graduates in Enping, a city in Guangdong province, will be awarded one million yuan, or over 160-thousand U.S. dollars, each and an apartment upon gaining admission to prestigious Peking or Tsinghua universities, starting in 2015.
The teachers of the successful students will also be given awards.
No high school graduates from Enping have been admitted to Tsinghua or Peking universities since 2007.
One student in the city said he hopes Guangzhou will also introduce such lofty rewards for students who perform well in the national college entrance exam.
However, people who oppose the awards say in the long run, the thing that really matters is a school's teaching level and the values not quantified by money that higher education brings to students.
