From valuing the first degree to weakening or even eliminating the concept of the first degree in the resume, it is a return to rationality.
The deep-rooted academic qualifications and the increasingly fierce "birth theory" are causing the current society to fall into an unprecedented educational involution, and the willingness to enter key universities and further studies is stronger than ever.
In the stage of popularization of higher education, it is becoming easier and easier to go to university, and the enrollment of master's and doctoral students has been greatly expanded. However, in modern society, academic qualifications do not necessarily reflect real ability, it is only a superficial mark, which cannot accurately measure a person's specific performance in actual work, and the gold content of higher education seems to be declining year by year.
If in the past, studying in a prestigious school was an ideal pursuit and an obsession, but now it is a realistic need, and it is a rigid need. Because employers should not only look at the first degree, but also look at how many of the bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees are famous schools. In the past, the opportunity to enter graduate school was relatively fair and sufficient, and it was possible to "turn over" if you were willing to work hard, but now, famous schools continue to increase the proportion of students who are exempted from recruitment, and at the same time set up various restrictions that are not conducive to students from double non-university universities, and it is extremely difficult for students from double non-university to "turn over". This is why many people find it more and more difficult to get into graduate school. In fact, there are more and more opportunities to study for graduate school in general, and the real difficulty is that ordinary candidates are admitted to prestigious universities.
Therefore, the existence of the first degree is a concentrated reflection of educational problems and social problems, not a manifestation of rationality, but a manifestation of some "irrational" phenomena on a larger scale. You must know that the relevant policies and documents of the education department do not use the concept of "first degree", and the argument that the college entrance examination is determined for life is untenable, and the "determinism of the first degree" held by some units and individuals in society is also unfounded.
When the academic society replaces the academic qualifications, when the level of labor market standardization continues to improve, when high quality truly becomes the internal pursuit of the development of higher education, when the evaluation and resource allocation mechanism of higher education becomes more scientific, and when local colleges and universities can develop equally and freely, then it is the right time to eliminate the concept of first degree.
There is a long way to go to promote educational equity and employment equality, and to weaken or even abolish the concept of first degree.
