Brief Introduction of Harvard University

Harvard University is the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States. Founded 16 years after the arrival of the Pilgrims at Plymouth, the University has grown from nine students with a single master to an enrollment of more than 18,000 degree candidates, including undergraduates and students in 10 graduate and professional schools. Over 14,000 people work at Harvard, including more than 2,000 faculty.

China has sent 49 senior officials to study in Harvard University's Kennedy School in recent five years, said Wan Xueyuan, director of State Administration Foreign Experts Affairs (SAFEA) on May 27.

The 49 senior officials all come from governments, financial institutions and large enterprises, respectively. Most of them are officials having been working at ministerial and provincial levels.��

Wan said that 12 officials will be sent to receive short and medium term training in Harvard University each year, and so far the training has been carried on for five years.

The training will be conducive to those students for improving decision-making and administration ability, deepening mutual understanding between countries by studying typical cases and methods for government administration of developed countries.
