2023-07-07Title: The new year's college entrance examination is coming again, are you or your children ready to be treated differently?In 1977, due to the impact of the Cultural Revolution and the interruption of ten years of China's college entrance examination system can be restored, and China has ushered in the spring of respect for knowledge, respect for talent again. However, as the popularity of colleges and universities grows year by year, more and more problems have been exposed. In recent years, you must have heard countless news about the reform of the college entrance exams, such as taking the exam twice, 3+3, class system and so on. However, will these reforms really make the college entrance examination more and more fair and impartial? Will your child not continue to be treated differently on the college entrance exam?
The College Entrance Examination, as a fair and equitable long-term policy, does give everyone the same rights and interests in terms of invigilation, correction, questioning, and so on. Although "one exam for life" has been criticized by candidates and their parents for years, the education sector has responded positively by introducing a number of measures to deal with the problem, which has attracted a lot of praise. However, today we are not talking about the recent expansion of enrollment or the latest reform of the college entrance examination, but rather the unfair treatment of candidates: the local "privilege" points.
Since the resumption of the college entrance examination in 1977, China has actually had a long period of time to implement the national unified examination, and the scores of different places are clear at a glance, countless people have realized their life goals and values through the college entrance examination. However, the good times didn't last long, with Beijing and Shanghai withdrawing from the national unified examination, and then the college entrance examination is also gradually changing its flavor.
Take the author's own hometown as an example, our local high school (county-level city), the schoolchildren get up at 5:00 a.m. every day, rushed to the school for early morning study, and then stayed in school until about 10:00 p.m. class, day after day to brush up on the test papers. It's simply too much hard work compared to preparing for exams in Beijing and Shanghai.
However, leaving aside the Jiangxi college entrance examination paper difficulty coefficient is greater than the Beijing issue, even if we test more difficult paper and test more simple paper Beijing students took the same score, as far as Beijing University will give priority to the admission of Beijing hukou. The following chart for last year's Peking University and Tsinghua 2015 admission program (form data from the college entrance examination volunteering), the form of Peking University and Tsinghua plans to enroll a total of 351 Beijing hukou college students, while Jiangxi only a total of 46 people. Of course, in the ranking of the difficulty coefficient of the national provincial college entrance examination, Jiangxi is far from being qualified to come out and cry foul.
as opposed to"lit. one examination sets you for life", all the more reason for independent enrollment everywhere to be reformed.
Let's take a look at why the country has to implement the provincial college entrance examination system. There are three reasons: first, distributionally, the unevenness of educational resources around the world, the implementation of a unified national examination paper is unfair to the backward areas; second, in terms of urban construction, to avoid the inflow of talented people into the provinces; third, politically, to reduce the risk of management.
It sounds like a convincing argument, but it is really unconvincing today. First of all, is the implementation of the provincial college entrance examination system meant to protect the educationally underdeveloped regions or to continue to hold back the educational development of the underdeveloped regions? Lowering the admission scores of remote and backward areas so as to make up for the education in the backward areas is very humane in the short term, but in the long term it does not solve the fundamental problem of imbalance in education resources. Developed areas not only enjoy policy support and superior education level, from the increasingly crazy school district housing, many conditions of excellent resources valued developed areas of the "privilege" influx of big cities, the remaining remote areas of broken pot, which only aggravates the inequality between local and local, really the more treatment the more sick. Look again from the city construction point of view, the outflow of talent and college entrance examination relationship is not big, where to go to college is not a talent to decide where to participate in the work of the deciding factor.
If there is a need to promote the return of local educational resources and to balance them, not only should the provincial system not be implemented, but the national standardized examination papers should be opened up, and there should be no "local" privileges. In this way, in everyone's view, where to study, where the hukou on the college entrance examination does not have much impact, there will be more and more people to stay in their hometowns. There will not be so many students to face the "cruel reality of choosing a place for admission" to give up their efforts in advance. In addition, the university is supposed to be a place where "the world's best and brightest are educated", but when a university, where most of the students come from the local community, forms a closed self-group, it is not only against the original intention of the university, but also does not conform to the modern trend of globalization and diversification.
The implementation of a unified national examination paper, unified admission, fair competition can to a certain extent prosperous education level, in promoting the balanced development of the whole country also has a very great significance. Nowadays, the speed of information dissemination is far from being comparable to that of the end of the last century. In the next few years, in particular, the implementation of a unified national college entrance examination system and the elimination of old and backward policies will be of great help in terms of cultural integration and overall prosperity, and this kind of fairer and more equitable measures is also the wish of all people.
entrance examination for senior government service posts (Taiwan)"immunities"truth about sth.
Why are students in big cities more likely to go to college than children in rural areas? If we want to explore a reason, often we need to think about the question in reverse. What if students in big cities fail to get into university? Again, if they can't get into college, a rural student can go home and farm, or work in a foreign province to export labor. But if a pampered city child does not get into college, they are very reluctant to go "into the factory" to sell labor. Then, once the major cities have a wave of unemployment due to lack of education, the impact on the country's situation is certainly greater than the rural students.
At the same time, not only in China, politicians all over the world are for the profit of small groups. Their voice and power is definitely greater than that of the common people as opposed to the elitists or leaders in various fields. It is the nature of all politicians to curry favor with the whole group that is the deepest threat to their political quan.
All of the academically developed districts that do not have geographic"immunities"
In all of today's academically advanced regions, there are no geographical "privileges". And in terms of resource allocation, in Japan, the per capita funding for the best elementary school in Tokyo cannot exceed the per capita funding for elementary school in remote mountainous areas by more than two times. However, the current per capita investment in elementary school in China's major cities exceeds that in remote mountainous areas by more than 20 times.
In the big city school children not only enjoy the quality of hardware and teachers 20 times higher than the rural areas, in higher education admissions but also 20 times higher (2014 college entrance examination ratio of Shandong household registration and Beijing household registration admitted to key universities), such a big tilt how to the fair and just.
What should be done to change the status quo
The financial expenditure of many universities is overly dependent on the local authorities, and even many deployed universities have far more financial support from the local government than from the central government. However, when the influence of local governments is clearly tilted, the original attributes of universities will be affected, and this is how independent enrolment comes about.
The solution to the problem of self-occupied enrollment lies in the financial support of the central government, and optimize the allocation of resources. Especially some key universities, Peking University, Xiamen University, etc., such universities should be a collection of national resources, for the entire country to export higher talents, rather than a small circle to pick the best.
First of all, the colleges and universities from the interest of the mud ball out, and then balance the allocation of resources, break the dependence on local, get rid of the hypocritical "independent enrollment". Prepare for a truly fair and impartial national unified examination admission. So, the college entrance examination reform really "change" to the point? In order to be more fair and just, the change is "a test for life" or hidden local privileges "big plus points"?
