There are also many interesting jokes about this pair of "prestigious CP" on the Internet.

According to legend, the two schools once had the idea of a strong alliance-

Nanjing University said: How about you spell "Southeast University" as "South" and we spell "Nanjing University" as "Beijing" and merge it into "Nanjing University"?

Southeast University refused, suggesting that we create the East of Southeast University, and you create the South of Nanjing University to merge into Southeast University.

The merger was abandoned because no consensus could be reached.

At the same time, the senior high school entrance examination in Jiangsu is like a "sieve": the admission rate of high schools in Jiangsu is only between 40% and 50%, and those junior high school graduates with unsatisfactory grades can't go to high schools, so they can only silently leave their jobs for further study. Eight years ago, there were 530,000 candidates taking the college entrance examination in Jiangsu, and this year there were 200,000 fewer candidates, all for this reason. This is why there are 983,000 candidates in Henan with a population of more than 90 million, while only 330,000 candidates in Jiangsu with a population of more than 80 million took the college entrance examination this year.

But a year later, Jiangsu Province put forward the "3+ small comprehensive" mode of college entrance examination, that is, Chinese, mathematics and English are still compulsory subjects, and political history and geography are selected as comprehensive subjects or physical chemistry and biology as comprehensive evaluation, which provides subjects and test questions templates for later national test papers!

Of course, not only that, but in my opinion, Jiangsu is regarded as the first in national education, not only because of the difficulty of examination questions and reform, but also because Jiangsu Province has been exploring the new situation of national college entrance examination in the past twenty years and has made indelible contributions to national education.

While affirming the achievements, we should also be soberly aware that compared with developed countries, compared with the requirements of building a modern economic and social system and building an educational power, Jiangsu vocational education still has some problems, such as unclear type characteristics, imperfect system construction, imperfect system standards, imperfect support policies, and inactive enterprise participation.

Standing at a new historical starting point, we must base ourselves on the reality of Jiangsu, grasp the development direction, adhere to the problem orientation, pay attention to innovation, break through the bottleneck restricting the reform and development of vocational education, set the benchmark and banner for the modernization of vocational education, establish a multi-level integrated modern vocational education system, formulate a series of standards to improve the high-quality development of vocational education, create a good atmosphere for the development of vocational education, and promote Jiangsu vocational education to achieve a new leap with the spirit of "try first" to provide Socialism with Chinese characteristics vocational education.
