It’s an ever-controversial topic, and one of realistic significance. Thank the column manager for providing us with such a good opportunity to debate on it!
I take the negative side.
My friends on the positive side are eloquent. Their main evidence, as I concluded, is that “our country is developing, it’s in great need of the talented. So we must widen the entrance for higher education.” It sounds reasonable. However, they have neglected two points of ultimate importance.
The first, does the modernization of our country really need everyone, or most of us, to receive higher education? Thanks Tycoon, he has given a good answer to the question., by saying “To illustrate, nowadays vocational technicals are in short just because we still haven’t laid stress on the development of vocational schools”. Yes , what the country needs most are a great quantity of talented personnels with some expertise or professional technique(that’s an important reason why Japan has been developing so rapidly after the war.) , and it’s the vocational technological schools that provide such kind of education, not the colleges or universities. And of course, vocational technological schools don’t belong to “higher education”(colleges or universities).
The second, with expansion of recruitment, how could colleges work out qualified students? As a reality, the educational resources of our country , like the faculty, equipments, materials ,etc, are not overmuch, but in severe shortage. For example, five years ago, every 4 students shared one body in our anatomic practice, they had a good opportunity for learning, however, nowadays, in consequence of recruitment expansion, one single body is shared by 8 students. No wonder many teachers are sighing that students are less and less competent year by year.
In conclusion, the first, our country doesn’t need so many people with higher education; the second, contemporary educational resources have already been in short concerning the number of undergraduates, further recruitment expansion is nothing but insane. |
