In recent years, the number of students applying for graduate school has been increasing, but by 2024, the number of students applying for graduate school will decrease significantly. This begs the question: why is there such a shift in the number of master's students?The article is analyzed in three parts.
It is difficult to find a job, and the public *** has become a "fragrant glutton".
First of all, in recent years, the employment situation of college students has been more serious, the number of college graduates has been increasing, and the work pressure of college students has also increased. In such a situation, many college graduates hope to find a job as soon as possible, and make a stable job their first choice. Coupled with the current social environment, some parents cannot afford the financial burden of graduate school examinations, resulting in a decrease in the number of graduate students. In contrast, the number of candidates participating in the 2024 National Public Examination*** reached a record 2.9 million, which greatly reduced the competitive pressure to apply for graduate school. This situation is a good illustration of why the number of graduate exams has declined, and many students have chosen the national government
Lower job expectations and less attractiveness to master's graduates.
Secondly, it takes a lot of time and money to go to the institute. At the master's level, the Xi period at the master's level is similar to the academic stage, but its cost increases significantly. In particular, some graduate students in the field of finance and application often spend more than 100,000 yuan, and some even do not have accommodation. Although the enrollment of master's degree has been expanding in recent years, and the total number has exceeded 10 million, the value of master's degree has been declining. Some employers prefer to recruit "double first-class" university graduates, but have reservations about master's graduates. Even those who have graduated from prestigious universities and ordinary universities will encounter various forms of discrimination from employers when applying for jobs. From this point, it can be seen that the decrease in employment expectations after graduate school graduation is also an important factor in the decrease in the number of graduate students.
Overseas study Xi become a new trend, and the boom of overseas study is gradually rising.
Third, due to the economic crisis in recent years, the opportunities for international travel have greatly decreased, and the difficulty of obtaining visas has also increased, which has brought great difficulties to overseas study and Xi. However, after the full opening, international flights gradually opened up, and students also had more options. Some overseas universities are ranked much higher internationally than Chinese counterparts and have a much smaller number of years to graduate. Although some people have a lot of complaints about the term "Shui Shuo", in fact, it is actually a screening process, which mainly considers the student's foreign language ability, self-care ability and family background. Besides, it is also beneficial to return to the country and settle in a big city in the future. From this point of view, many schools will recruit the top 50 or even the top 100 universities. However, it is not easy to study abroad Xi, and the demand for foreign students in universities around the world is increasing. All in all, the craze for studying abroad Xi is increasing, and it has also affected the number of graduate school entrance examinations.
To sum up, there are three main factors for the decrease in the number of master's students: first, due to the current employment environment, second, due to lower expectations of jobs after graduating from university, and third, due to the increasing popularity of university education abroad. All of these reasons have led to the transfer of students to other fields, resulting in a decrease in the number of graduate school entrance exams for the first time. This also allows many students to have more choices and thoughts, and the road ahead is still very long, and everyone can make the most suitable decision according to their actual situation. I wish you all the best results!
