在2017年以前，外籍人士来华工作并不需要查验学历。随着中国的综合国力的不断发展，和更多外籍人士来华工作，国家进一步对外籍人士来华工作制定统一的标准。

Before 2017, foreign nationals working in China did not need to have their education verified. With the continuous development of China's Comprehensive National Power and more foreigners coming to work in China, the country has further developed unified standards for foreigners working in China.

自2017年起，外国人来华工作许可系统上线，外国人来华工作许可申请政策趋于稳定，而学历成为验证外籍人士素质和能力的证明之一

Since 2017, the work permit system for foreigners to come to China has been launched, and the policy for applying for work permits for foreigners to come to China has become stable. Education has become one of the proof of the quality and ability of foreigners.

在外国人来华工作申请规定中有明文规定，拥有学士学位及以上且有两年工作经验，可申请外国人来华工作许可。前提还是需要经过审批机关认证学历的真实性并给予认可。

There is a clear provision in the application regulations for foreigners to work in China, which states that those who hold a bachelor's degree or above and have two years of work experience can apply for a foreigner's work permit in China. The premise is still that the authenticity of the educational background needs to be verified and recognized by the approval authority.
