At the end of the year, the National Language Resources Monitoring and Research Plane Center used language information processing technology to extract words from the 1 billion word word corpus, and selected the "2023 Education Hot Words": Building a Strong Country in Education, Educator Spirit, Cultural Education, Patriotic Education Law, Education Digitalization, Textbook System Construction, Science Education, One Body and Two Wings, Lifelong Learning, and Silver-aged Teachers.
The educational memory of this year is resurrected in these 10 words.
These 10 hot words selected are the country's goals and plans for the future of education, as well as the people's enthusiasm for education.
In everyone's heart, there are also our own education hot words, which may be policy-based new policies and new regulations, may be the education hotspots that parents and children are concerned about, or may be the educational phenomenon seen by the whole people. But in short, the group of data, the new deal, and the hot words behind this have jointly built the education pattern and education face of a big education country, and also enriched our education life.
These numbers represent the students' choices for their future lives.

From niche choices to the masses.
The study abroad market is recovering rapidly.
At the beginning of 2003, the study abroad market recovered at a dizzying speed, and the reporter learned from various study abroad agencies that the number of applicants for studying abroad and the number of A-level examination registrations have increased significantly compared with previous years.
This year, many language training and study abroad institutions have emerged in Hangzhou, such as the Hangzhou branch of a large company, the Hangzhou office headquartered abroad, and the study abroad ......studio opened by senior teachersThe various forms correspond to different needs for studying abroad.
The reporter interviewed and found that students and their parents have become more mature and rational in their thinking about studying abroad, and their purpose of studying abroad has also changed greatly. If it is said that studying abroad in the past may change more about the personal living environment and way, and seek a kind of material satisfaction, then with the development and prosperity of the country and the narrowing of the gap between Chinese and foreign living standards, this one-sided pursuit of material life has almost no place to survive. Nowadays, international students are more interested in broadening their international horizons and enriching their life experience and academic background.
According to the survey data, in the context of globalization, international students with language advantages and global vision are still more popular with employers, because the international perspective brought by their study abroad background "can better help enterprises expand the global market". Therefore, children from working families have become the main force for further study abroad. According to the survey, only 4% of the families with an annual income of more than one million international students are 15The annual income of 7% of the families is 30.5 million, while the annual income of the largest proportion of international students is 11.2 million, which shows that studying abroad has begun to become more popular and normalized.
Driven by the national Belt and Road Initiative and the concept of building a community with a shared future, China's development will continue to look at the world. International talents will continue to be the backbone of the country's development. In this sense, studying abroad is moving from a niche choice to the public, and it has increasingly become a type of education that cannot be ignored in China's education system.

The first batch of "second children" went to primary school.
Primary school enrolment is at a record high.
June 2003 was the time for the enrollment of new primary school students. This year, the number of primary school students in Hangzhou hit a record high in nearly 30 years. The background is, "the first batch of 'second children' went to primary school". In 2022, Hangzhou will recruit a total of 12 first-year freshmen50,000, while the number of new elementary school students in 2023 rises to about 150,000.
In fact, as early as 2016, when the two-child policy was opened, the relevant departments had expectations, because the number of newborns in Zhejiang increased by 20% in June of that year. In the face of this wave of student peak, the education department and schools have thought of a variety of ways to deal with it. Two years before the arrival of the peak period, we began to identify the school-age children in the area who meet the school requirements and prepare in advance.
The first is to expand classes, urgently recruit teachers, etc. For example, Linping District of Hangzhou City has expanded more than 140 classes in the fall of this year. During the summer vacation, many primary schools in Hangzhou are recruiting substitute teachers to meet their urgent needs. "In order to recruit the right substitute teacher, I have been busier than usual this summer. A primary school principal in Hangzhou said.
It is more important to address the root causes of school access. The education department in Hangzhou judged the arrival of the enrollment peak in advance and laid out future educational resources according to the demographic trend. According to the "Hangzhou Urban High School Layout Plan (2021-2035)" released by the Hangzhou Municipal Education Bureau, by 2035, the total number of high schools in Hangzhou will reach 230, providing 43 high school places40,000 lives. Among them, it is planned to build 50 new high schools in the long term (2026-2035), and the number of new high school places can be 1430,000 lives. The goal of the plan is also very clear, to promote the quality and equalization of high school education resources in Hangzhou, increase the capacity of high school education, improve the spatial distribution of schools, improve the conditions for running schools, and realize the co-construction and sharing of high-quality high school education resources.
The relevant person in charge of the Provincial Department of Education also made a statement: Zhejiang will continue to improve the quality of higher education, while expanding the capacity of colleges and universities, so that Zhejiang children have more opportunities to receive high-quality higher education.

Read 10,000 books and travel 10,000 miles.
Major museums and prestigious schools are popular.
In the summer of 2023, a wave of research and study tours were ushered in unexpectedly. "Study travel" is not a new word, in fact, as early as 2013, the state clearly proposed to "gradually implement research travel for primary and secondary school students". In recent years, the Ministry of Education's documents have replaced the term "research trip" with the term "research and practice education", which shows the educational content contained in it.
According to data from various travel platforms, the number of people booking study tours and research products in the summer vacation of 2023 far exceeded the same period in 2019, an increase of more than 200% compared with the pre-epidemic period. In terms of destination selection, first-tier and new first-tier cities are the mainstay, because the museums in these places are the best places for research and study tours, and popular museums such as the Palace Museum and the Shaanxi History Museum once failed to grab tickets a week in advance.
Tsinghua University, Peking University and other famous schools have also become popular spots, because the number of people is hot, some children who participated in the research group said that they could only arrive at the school gate to take pictures, and could not squeeze into the school gate at all. Tsinghua University had to issue the "Announcement on the Management of Summer Campus Visits", which clearly stated that Tsinghua University is a teaching and research unit, not a tourist attraction, and emphasized that it is forbidden for any institution to bring people into the campus in violation of regulations.
The popularity of summer vacation research tours, revenge tourism is only one of the reasons, and the more critical thing is that after the implementation of the "double reduction" policy, from parents to all walks of life education concept change. Everyone gradually realized that the learning of being locked up in the campus and trapped in books is limited after all, and "reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles" is the best way to learn.

For the first time in eight years, the number of graduate students has declined.
The country's employment strategy is changing.
On December 23, 2023, the 2024 National Postgraduate Admission Examination was officially opened. After eight years of soaring, the number of graduate students has fallen for the first time this year, 360,000 fewer than last year.
The number of graduate students has been "soaring" in the past 8 years: 1.65 million in 2015 and 4.74 million in 2023. But instead of decreasing this year, the number of college graduates has reached a record 11.79 million. In other words, the number of graduates is still increasing, but the number of graduate students is significantly less.
The reasons for the decline in the number of people are complex, but it reflects the change in the demand for social employment goals in recent years, and the change in the way talent is cultivated. For example, the difficulty of exams is increasing, and schools are gradually stricter in and out;The quality of undergraduate education has improved, increasing the employability competitiveness of undergraduates;There is a growing demand for hands-on experience and vocational skills in the workplace.
Just a few days ago, the Ministry of Education held a press conference revealed that China has become a big country in graduate education, but the concept of emphasizing academic degrees over professional degrees still needs to be further reversed.
Therefore, behind the decline in the number of graduate students, it actually reflects the change of the national employment strategy, the change of the positioning of the training of master's students, the trend of greatly expanding the enrollment of professional and master's students, and the cultivation of professional-based high-level applied talents, which is becoming the general trend. In the final analysis, whether you can apply what you have learned after reading it is the key, whether you can contribute to national construction is the key, and whether it can reflect the quality and level of China's higher education is the key.
