ReviewChineseHigherEducation

InDecember1977,ChinesegovernmentrecordedtheexaminationforhighereducationwhichmarkedtheChineseeducationsystemreformationfromthe"GreatCulturalRevolution"andended"therecommendedsystemsforentranceofhighereducation."Asasocialconsequence,allstudentsweresoencouragedtofollowthispolicythattheybegantounderstandthatthefortunewasnolongerlefttotendermercyofofficialsatvariouslevels,butdependedontheeffortsofone'sknowledge,andstudentsbegantomakemucheffortinanall-timeconcentrationoflearning.WeshouldbeawarethatwasagreatachievementinthedevelopmentofChinesehighereducationanditwasapositivemovementtoexpeditethescienceandtechnologyinChina.ThisalsoisfundamentalforthecurrentChinesehighereducation.

CurrentChineseHigherEducation

Now,Chinesehighereducationsystems,whichwereestablishedsincethereformin1977,havebeencarriedout,andhavebeendevelopedformorethan20years.Whenwereviewandmeditateuponthissystem,wecanfindoutsomenegativephenomenon.Underthissystem,thereweresomanycompulsorysubjectsthattheyforcedallstudentstodevelopatasamepace.Therefore,itwasimpossibletogroomthestudentindividually,whichisinevitabletotrainhigherleveltalent.Atthebeginningof1990s,Chineshighereducationgraduallyintroducedthecreditsystem,inwhich,studentscanselectsomesubjectsupontheirowninterest.

However,thefollowingquestionsremaininthecurrentChinesehighereducation:

Problem1:

Thespecializationissodetailedthatthestudentcannotacquireanadequatebackgroundknowledgebeyondtheirspecializationfield.Taketheaccountingasanexample.InChinahighereducation,mostofuniversitieseagerforquicksuccessandinstantbenefit,focusesontheso-calledhotspecializationanddemotesthebackgroundanduniversalknowledge.Therefore,therearespecializationsofcommerceaccounting,manufactureaccounting,bankingaccounting,constructionaccounting,touraccounting,hotelaccounting,andsoon.Wecannotimaginehowtoteachstudentinjustonespecializationforfouryears.Iadvocatethatstudentsbecomeversatileanderudite,especiallyinthetoday'smarketeconomicalenvironment,inwhich,everyone'sjobisprecariousandevenmoreeachjobneedtheversatiletalents.Withouttheversatileanderudite,ourstudentscannotfundtheirnewjobconvenientlyanddothejobwell.
