On 25 April, during the 2026 Beijing International Education and Career Planning Expo, Mr Wang Huanchen, Vice President of East & West International Education Group (EWIE) and General Manager of Wiseway, spoke with media about the Group’s development, innovative products, and the evolving landscape of international education.
With 27 years in the sector, Mr Wang described how EWIE has grown from a study abroad agency into a full-cycle international education platform — now serving not just students and families, but universities and schools across China through teacher training, curriculum co-development, and programme delivery.
Mr Wang highlighted three flagship products.
Scholars Hub is EWIE’s PhD application programme, addressing the information gap in the traditional application process by connecting students directly with over 100 overseas university professors for real-time admissions information and criteria.
Global Competence Development has been implemented at more than 160 universities nationwide since its launch in 2020–2021. The programme offers 12 curriculum modules covering AI, international relations, and cross-cultural communication, complemented by overseas study tours to EU institutions and international organisations.
Global Employability Development helps students build career awareness and competitiveness through practical training, covering career planning, CV development, and international business, with employment resources spanning Belt and Road countries as well as Europe and North America.
Looking ahead, Mr Wang sees international education shifting from outcome-oriented to competence-oriented, with greater emphasis on global competence, innovation, and cross-cultural skills. EWIE will continue to advance its products and services to help more Chinese students engage with the world.
