Causes and effects of the decline in graduate school entrance examination enrollment.
This year's graduate record exam count will fall for the first time in 10 years, compared with 4.38 million from an expected 5 million. This situation is not consistent with the increase in the number of master's students enrolled in previous years, which is a surprising phenomenon. There are a variety of factors contributing to the reduction in the Graduate Record Exam.
First of all, one of the important factors in the decline in the number of graduate students is the improvement of the working environment. During the university period, many graduates have obtained better jobs, such as large enterprises, state-owned enterprises, etc., so they give up continuing their studies Xi. In addition, some students give up the postgraduate entrance examination because it takes several years to prepare for the exam and do not want to miss the good opportunity for employment.
Secondly, the difficulties and challenges of the Graduate School Entrance Examination itself are also a factor contributing to the decline in the number of applicants. In order to successfully graduate, only after several years of systematic Xi can candidates be guaranteed to graduate. However, many people are in the situation of "catching up with the fashion", before the college entrance examination, they realize that they are not fully prepared, and finally choose to give up.
In addition, due to the development of the times and the current employment situation, a master's degree may not enable college students to have a better career development. In some fields, a university degree plus practical experience or proven technical expertise is the best option, but a master's degree is of little benefit to the candidate. In this case, some students have stopped taking the postgraduate examination and have turned to work to gain more work experience and enhance their employability.
The number of graduate school entrance examinations has been decreasing, which has had some impact on the education system in our country and on society as a whole. First of all, the decline in the number of master's students may help to improve the quality and quality of graduate students, so as to better meet the needs of society for high-level talents. Second, reducing the number of graduate students can alleviate the tension of university admissions and promote the rational allocation of higher education resourcesHowever, this also means that the competition for a master's degree will become more and more intense, especially for students who are interested in continuing their studies, and it will be more difficult to enter the university.
By all accounts, the decline in graduate enrollment is not entirely a bad situation. It provides a broad space for the development of students who are interested in scientific research, alleviates the shortage of teaching resources in the school, and improves the teaching level of colleges and universities. For us, when applying for graduate school, we must have a clear purpose and plan, and we must not conform to the herd or rush for quick success just to improve our academic level.
Personal opinions and ideas.
The reduction of the Graduate Record Examination made me start thinking about education and work. In the past, graduate school seemed to be a job for many people during their college years, but nowadays, due to changes in the working environment and social needs, many people choose to find a job or other paths. This kind of transformation is not only the need of the development of the times, but also the needs of the development of the times.
From my point of view, whether you are going to graduate school or looking for a job, the most important thing is to be clear about your hobbies and goals, and then make relevant plans and preparations. Going to graduate school is not necessarily the right path, the right path is the best. At the same time, it is necessary to have a comprehensive understanding of the requirements and development direction of the talent market, so as to make the right choice from their own perspective.
Overall, the decrease in the number of graduate students reflects not only the changes in the education and working environment of today's society, but also the diversification and individualization of higher education in China. We should pay attention to the overall development, so that students have more opportunities and better opportunities to learn and Xi, so as to nurture higher-level talents for the future. At the individual level, if you want to have a better development opportunity in this challenging world, you must determine your own life direction and determine your life direction.
