Govt directs Pakistani students to register online to return to China for studies

Islamabad: The government has asked the students who wanted to resume studies in China to register online.

The first batch of Pakistani students studying in Chinese universities, who stayed back in Pakistan due to Covid-19, successfully landed in China on June 20, 2022 and joined their institutions after completing the mandatory quarantine period.

The remaining students who want to return to China for resumption of their studies are advised to register their fresh information at: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSctLsHVvXutwkjfftU1hDc9Gtd9AWOOrl3wINPHfcsy-lTdiw/viewform

Moreover, students are advised to fill correct, reliable and accurate information until July 21, 2022. The information will be shared with the Chinese authorities for further procedure and verification of the submitted information, said a government directive said.

Hundreds of Pakistani students have already registered with the Higher Education Commission (HEC) seeking to return to China to resume their studies.

Last month, the first batch of Pakistani students, who had returned to the country due to the Coronavirus pandemic, returned to China to resume their education.

A special flight of the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) carrying around 100 students left from the New Islamabad International Airport for Xi’an, the capital of Shaanxi Province in central China.

Scores of Pakistani students enrolled in Chinese universities returned home at the peak of the Coronavirus outbreak in China, which was the ground zero of the COVID-19 outbreak.

For over two years, these Pakistani students could not return to China to resume their education due to the Covid restrictions.
