2003年2月16日，教育部公布2003年度留学人员情况统计结果。

自1978年至2003年底，我国出国留学人员总数达70.02万人，留学回国人员达17.28万人。

目前仍在外的52.74万留学人员中，共有35.66万人仍在国外进行学习、合作研究、学术访问等。

　　2003年度，我国各类出国留学人员总数为11.73万人，其中国家公派3002人，单位公派5144人，自费留学10.92万人。

由于上半年发生SARS疫情，联系国外学校、办理签证等受到影响，另外，教育部加强了对留学中介的监管，去年发布了13个留学预警，克服了一些人的留学盲目性，因此，2003年度出国留学总人数比2002年降低了6.3%，其中自费出国留学人数降低了6.8%，国家公派与单位公派的出国留学人数基本持平。

2007年时间的留学市场呈现出回暖、多元、成熟、规范的特点。

大力支持和发展出国留学工作，是我国改革开放政策的重要组成部分。

国家制定的“支持留学、鼓励回国、来去自由”的出国留学工作方针，更从制度上促进和保证了自费出国留学工作的健康发展。

留学越趋于理性，留学市场日趋成熟起来。
