MOST educationalists and students welcome the addition of Chinese Language as one of the foreign language subjects in the United States university entrance examination.
The new policy, to be enacted in 1994, is under preparation at the US University Committee and the Education Examination Services Organisation.
Young Post recently conducted a survey to find out the response of local teachers and students towards the move.
Most of the interviewees said the new policy would benefit Chinese students who intend to study their own language while in university in the United States.
Among the teachers interviewed, Mr Law, a Chinese teacher at NTHYK Tai Po District Secondary School, said the move could benefit Chinese students in the United States in several ways.
''Apart from the traditional subjects, students now have an extra choice in the university entrance examination,'' Mr Law said.
