The decline in the number of applicants for the 2024 National Master's Admission Examination has aroused widespread concern. Various views and perspectives have been put forward on this phenomenon. Some people believe that this is because the number of international students has increased after the epidemic, and the number of domestic graduate students will naturally decrease;Some people also believe that this is because of the expansion of graduate students, which has led to increased competition for employment, and many people choose to take the public examination instead of the postgraduate examinationThere are also people who believe that now everyone understands that they can't find a job even if they are admitted to graduate school, so they choose to take the public examination or go directly to social work. Based on these views, it can be seen that there are many reasons for the decline in the number of graduate school entrance examinations.
In the view that the number of international students has increased after the pandemic, people believe that higher education abroad is of relatively high quality and more attractive. Due to the outbreak of the epidemic, many students choose to temporarily abandon their plans to study abroad and choose master's education in China instead. In addition, the relatively small number of domestic master's students has also made some candidates choose the opportunity to study abroad.
In the view that the expansion of graduate students has led to increased competition for jobs, it is believed that the number of graduate students has gradually increased in recent years, which has led to more competition in the job market. In order to better cope with the pressure of employment, many candidates choose to take the public service preparation examination, etc., believing that these positions are more stable and have higher career development space. At the same time, some candidates also believe that a master's degree does not directly change their employability, so they choose other ways to improve their competitiveness.
In the argument that graduate students cannot find jobs even if they are admitted to graduate school, it is believed that as the enrollment of graduate students increases, more and more people have master's degrees, which leads to increased competition in the job market. In this case, some people believe that the postgraduate entrance examination does not bring them obvious employment advantages, but prolongs the time and difficulty of employment. As a result, they are more likely to go directly into social work or through other means to advance their professional abilities.
To sum up, there are many reasons for the decline in the number of graduate students in 2024, including the impact of the epidemic, intensified competition for jobs, uncertain employment prospects and other factors. These factors are intertwined and have an impact on the number of graduate students.
The decline in the number of graduate students in 2024 will have a certain impact on society and the education industry. On the one hand, this is conducive to alleviating the pressure of employment and providing more people with opportunities to enter the social work. With the decrease in graduate student enrollment, the competitive pressure has been reduced accordingly, so that more candidates can be successfully employed and the employment rate will be increased.
In terms of alleviating the impact of employment pressure, due to the decrease in the number of graduate education graduates, the corresponding supply will also decrease, and more professional jobs may be in short supply, thus increasing the employment opportunities of graduate students. At the same time, when the number of graduate students declines, the employment pressure of graduate students will also be reduced, and they can have more choices and opportunities to find satisfactory jobs.
On the other hand, a decline in the number of graduate students may also lead to a decline in the quality of graduate education. Due to the decrease in the number of applicants, some colleges and universities may lack high-quality graduate recruitment resources, which in turn affects the quality of graduate education. At the same time, more students may choose to go to graduate school because of employment pressure, rather than out of real love and pursuit of academics, which may have a certain impact on the training effect of graduate education. Therefore, in the face of the decline in the number of graduate students, graduate education institutions need to strengthen quality management to ensure that the graduate students they train have a good academic background and professional quality.
To sum up, the decline in the number of graduate students will alleviate the employment pressure to a certain extent and provide more people with opportunities to enter social work. However, there is also a need to pay attention to educational institutions to ensure that the quality of postgraduate education does not decline due to the decrease in the number of graduate students.
The decline in the number of graduate students also reveals that the education industry is undergoing a new transformation. The expansion of graduate student enrollment is not only to improve the quality of the people, but also to alleviate the pressure of employment. However, with the development of society, people's needs for education are also constantly changing. More and more people are beginning to realize that education is not only about getting a higher degree or getting a better job, but also about improving their abilities and qualities. Therefore, the education industry needs to adapt to this new demand and carry out in-depth reform and innovation.
On the one hand, the education industry needs to focus on cultivating students' innovation and practical ability. In the context of the decline in the number of graduate students, many students who are interested in further academic research may choose other paths, such as entrepreneurship, work, etc. Therefore, educational institutions should strengthen the cultivation of students' innovative thinking and practical ability, and provide students with more teaching content and practical opportunities that combine with actual needs.
On the other hand, the education industry needs to work closely with industry to adjust the professional and curriculum settings according to market demand. Education should be more practical, providing students with practical skills and knowledge. Cooperate with enterprises to carry out practical Xi projects, employment recommendations, etc., which helps to enhance students' employment competitiveness.
In addition, the education industry should also focus on personalized education models and teaching methods. Different students have different interests, abilities, and needs, so educational institutions should provide a variety of teaching resources and course options to meet the individual needs of students and cultivate their professional skills and innovation capabilities.
To sum up, the education industry needs to face the challenge of declining graduate students and adapt to the new needs of social development. By strengthening students' innovation and practical skills, collaborating with industry on projects and Xi, and providing personalized education models and teaching methods, educational institutions can remain dynamic in the face of change and provide better educational services to students.
