In the past, to avoid squeezing out local students, there was an upper limit for foreign students, equal to 10 % of the quota for domestic students, and added on top of the domestic quota, not cutting into it. Thus a university with a domestic student quota of 10,000 could have at most 1000 foreign students.
過去，為了避免排擠本地生，各校外籍生都以「外加 10 %」為上限，也就是一所本地生總額為 1 萬人的大學，頂多只能有 1,000 名外籍生。
