In addition, the country's declining newborn birth rate has bleak the outlook for the entire education sector. Many parents are starting to re-examine their children's academic plans in the hope of providing more opportunities for their children's development.

Secondly, due to the popularization of digitalization and the Internet, the demand for traditional ** is gradually decreasing. Many people choose to get information and entertainment through their own platforms, rather than relying on tradition. In addition, job prospects are precarious and pay levels are relatively low. If candidates choose to major in media, they need to maintain sensitivity to changes in the industry, continue to learn and improve their skills to increase their employability.
