Text: Aoki, the fate of higher education depends on the transformation of the country's industry.
Many people know that the phrase "education power" seems to be a huge benefit from investing in education.
This is not wrong, but this only happened in a special era in China, when its industry and country were developing rapidly, but the level of education of its citizens was very low.
A country's education must be compatible with its industrial development, otherwise it will be a waste.
Sending a child to school, although it is very expensive, but it is not too high, compared to the investment in industrial upgrading, the investment in college for children is nothing at all, even if the money is spent on themselves, it is also very low.
To use the most extreme analogy, in order for all citizens of a poor country to become university graduates, does it mean that they can change their destiny through education and thus earn higher salaries?
Of course, this is impossible, this situation occurs all over the world, although there is enough strength to improve their academic qualifications, but there are very few who really have the strength to improve their industry.
Students from the Philippines and Egypt are classic examples in this regard.
The Philippines was established by the United States with the help of the United States, and everything about it is Americanized, not only the American political system, but also the university education.
However, the Philippines was established after World War II, when the industrial level of the United States was very high, and the Philippines was also designed according to American standards, which is simply plagiarism.
Filipino maids are famous all over the world and are known as the best maids in the world, more than forty percent of Filipino maids have a college degree or above, and nearly 100 of them are high school graduates.
Most Filipino maids have more than three languages: Filipino, English, Chinese, Japanese and other domestic services.
The Philippines is a very poor country, which is why she travels thousands of miles abroad to work as a nanny.
The Philippines is a copy of the American institutions of higher learning, but it lacks the industry to adapt to it, resulting in a large number of Philippine college graduates receiving a monthly salary of 900-1,700 yuan in their home countries, and there is no insurance or insurance.
Working as a nanny abroad earns between 3,000-4,500 a month, which is more than three times that of China.
More than 100 million people in the Philippines, 10 million people have gone out to work, male college graduates go abroad to do manual labor, and female college graduates go abroad to do care, these are the current living conditions of the Filipino people.
The Philippines can have no worries about food and clothing without a bachelor's degree, and even according to American standards, the Philippines does not have such treatment, so they must be sent abroad to do manual labor.
What else can be done?
This phenomenon of having only college graduates but no industry is not only true in the Philippines, but also in Egypt.
Egypt has a population of nearly 100 million, and invests no less in higher education than the Philippines, with 33 percent of young people attending university, equivalent to one-third of the new generation.
However, Egypt's industry is so underdeveloped that it cannot create a good job for so many college graduates.
The monthly salary of Egyptian fresh graduates is only 1,300 yuan, and coupled with the 20% unemployment rate, many students cannot find jobs.
Egypt has an innumerable number of university graduates, but the lack of high-paying jobs to match it makes Egypt very unstable, and it is necessary to constantly distribute low-cost or even gratuitous pies to the people, otherwise it is easy to cause unrest.
The Philippines, Egypt, and the United States are the same, and the United States used to be a big country that advocated higher education, but now it has changed its policy to implement universal education in the United States and recruit students all over the world, which has caused more people to receive higher education.
In the United States, an ordinary person who has not studied in college and does not have any basic knowledge can get $3,000 a month's salary, which is equivalent to more than 20,000 yuan.
These smart and hard-working students in the Philippines and Egypt get higher education, and they earn more than 1,000 yuan a month, while in the United States, the product of "happy education", a person is not smart enough and does not work hard enough, 20,000 yuan a month.
The reason for this is that the United States industrialized more than 100 years ago and transferred wealth from all over the world to its own country, so that even ordinary people without higher education can earn a good salary.
So why don't Filipino and Egyptian college graduates go to work in the U.S. and still get a high salary?
It's not that the students of the Philippines and Egypt don't want it, but the United States doesn't want it, everyone's money, everyone's jobs, are distributed to their own citizens as soon as possible, and those who are the best are only a small part.
Most people want to be given jobs abroad, but that's just a luxury, because they won't allow others to do that, which would cause social unrest.
Singapore is also a rich country, as rich as the United States, in Singapore, any ordinary labor, high school students can earn 20,000 yuan a month.
And a Filipino girl, being a housewife in Singapore, is only 3,000 yuan a month, and boys don't need it at all.
It's not that Filipino boys can't do a job of 20,000 yuan, but Singapore** only provides it to people from their own country.
This is this society, there is no absolute equality, students in universities are not the same as students in universities, how high a person's income depends on which country he is from, and also on how rich his country is.
This is the connection between the university and the development of industry, although the university is important, it is not the most important, it is only a supplement, what is really important, is the industrial upgrading.
That's why the United States is trying to hinder our industrial development in every possible way.
We would rather challenge the United States than compromise, which would be tantamount to fighting for more jobs and wages for students in our own country.
Therefore, we must win, and we must sit at the dinner table, not at their table, as Singapore and the United States did.
If we fail, our university graduates will probably not be as good as the Philippines or Egypt.
