‘’If the pandemic ends now, our agreement with the student will continue. If the pandemic continues it will affect the reopening of schools, some universities are opening gradually. The university of Beijin hasn’t reopened yet, so it will delay admissions, but the number of scholarship remains the same. Once we have offered you the scholarship it is yours’’ the ambassador said.
