Lingling, a girl from Chengdu, was admitted to university for an undergraduate, and although her father had money for her to study, he thought that "going to college was useless" and refused to provide tuition and living expenses. www.biquge.info When more than 10,000 netizens participated in the special survey of Dacheng.com, seventy percent of netizens believed that "going to university is not the only way out, you can study anywhere." With accusations of unusually high university tuition, declining quality of education, and a deteriorating employment situation. The theory of the uselessness of reading has once again attracted attention.

Indeed, it costs 80,000 yuan to study in college for four years, and if you don't study to work, you will earn 80,000 yuan, and the province plus the income is 160,000 yuan. After graduating from university, you may not be able to find a job, and even if you do, it will only cost you two or three thousand yuan a month, and it will take four or five years to earn back the investment. This "failed investment" is obvious.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there have been three trends of thought that "reading is useless." The first time was in the later period of "****", with Zhang Tiesheng handing over the white paper and going to college as the climax, in those years, the school was suspended, the students were suspended, and the intellectuals were the "stinky old nine" and became the object of criticism. The older the coarse is the fashion, the poorer the more glorious. The second time appeared in the late 80s and early 90s in the early days of reform and opening up, and the most typical mantra was "it is better to sell tea and eggs than to build an atomic bomb, and it is better to hold a scalpel than to use a razor." Due to institutional and other reasons, professors, doctors, teachers, civil servants, engineers, etc., still hold fixed salaries in their units, and the income gap is very obvious. Today's "theory of the uselessness of reading" first emerged from the countryside. Rural youth, who used to rely on the gaokao to change their fate, faced several major problems that could not be helped: for example, high tuition fees that made it difficult for poor families to afford, and huge expenses that could not find a job after graduating from college. In some rural schools, as many as 30 percent of students give up the gaokao.

In fact, the root of the problem of whether reading is useless is not in the students themselves, but in the school. In the era of "******" higher education, such a situation is inevitable. As we all know, college students are the pride of the sky, and they have to study hard for ten years and cross the single-plank bridge to become college students. However, now candidates who have scored more than 100 points in the college entrance examination and are not admitted have the opportunity to study in higher vocational colleges. In the 2014 Guangxi college entrance examination score line, the minimum control score line for the first batch of undergraduate admissions: 520 points for science and engineering, and 550 points for literature and history. The minimum control score for the second batch of undergraduate admissions: 407 points for science and engineering, and 463 points for literature and history. The minimum control score for the third batch of undergraduate admissions: 326 points for science and engineering, and 404 points for literature and history. And now, it is unbelievable to walk into the university gate with only 100 points.

What's even more incredible is that high school students can go to college without taking the college entrance examination, which is a big surprise. The newspaper said that he had not been admitted after the end of the admission to the vocational college. After completing the corresponding procedures, the Autonomous Region Recruitment Institute will conduct a review and arrange for the admission of the file. High school students can go to university without taking the college entrance examination. Approved by the Yunnan Provincial Department of Education, the separate enrollment cooperation alliance composed of eight provincial demonstration higher vocational colleges, including Yunnan Vocational College of Land and Resources and Yunnan University of Economics and Management, will continue to recruit students in Yunnan Province this year, with a total of 4,400 students planned to be enrolled. After the admission of candidates who have been admitted to the single recruitment of higher vocational colleges will no longer participate in the general college entrance examination, Guangxi has decided to carry out the pilot work of registration and enrollment in 12 higher vocational colleges according to the source of students and the completion of the plan of higher vocational colleges.

In 2014, the national college enrollment plan has been announced, and the national college enrollment plan is 6.98 million, including 3.63 million undergraduates and 3.35 million higher vocational (junior college) students. According to statistics, the number of applicants for the national college entrance examination this year was 9.39 million, an increase of 270,000 over 2013. This year, the national college entrance examination acceptance rate is about 74.33%, and the undergraduate admission rate is 38.7%. In other words, there are more than 3.3 million "pseudo-college students", and it is no wonder that they are unsatisfactory when they are employed. It is also unfair to those college students who insist on comparing them with those college students who have worked hard to get in. Speaking of which, there must be a lot of people who oppose it, I declare that among the students who study in college, there must be some regrets, Peking University graduates still sell pork; Those who study higher vocational colleges will inevitably become the elite of society.

In fact, there is no shortage of college students in China today, but migrant workers. Su Jian, a professor of economics at Peking University, said in an exclusive interview that today, it is not that "it is difficult for college students to find employment", but that college students are generally unwilling to position their abilities in hands-on operations, college students are no longer the "elite class", and higher education is becoming more and more "civilian". The market demand has changed: from score first to practical first. The main reason why some college graduates can't find a job is that their personal qualities do not meet the requirements of employers, and they are too ambitious to choose basic positions. The talents cultivated by the school and the market demand are like cars running on two tracks, resulting in structural dislocation.

I think back then, it was not easy for Mr. Zhu to be admitted to university, and it was useless to study, but now, 25 years have passed, and nothing has changed, those officials should think about it.
