The possible reasons for the decrease in the number of graduate students are as follows:
1, epidemic impact: The global COVID-19 epidemic has had a far-reaching impact on the education industry, which may lead to changes in candidates' consideration and plans for postgraduate entrance examination. During the epidemic period, the learning environment was unstable and the learning pressure increased. Some candidates may postpone or cancel the postgraduate entrance examination plan because of the epidemic.
2. Changes in the employment situation: Some candidates may choose employment instead of continuing their studies. Influenced by the socio-economic situation and the job market, they prefer direct employment to gain practical work experience.
3. Improvement of the entrance examination threshold: In order to improve the quality of postgraduate education, some colleges and universities have adjusted the admission criteria for postgraduate entrance examination and raised the admission threshold for candidates. This may discourage some candidates and make it more difficult for them to take the postgraduate entrance examination.
4. Impact of education reform policy: The education department has carried out some reforms in higher education, which may affect the postgraduate entrance examination policy or examination arrangement, and some changes may make some candidates take a wait-and-see attitude towards postgraduate entrance examination.
5. Adjustment of postgraduate entrance examination mechanism: The adjustment of examination system and the change of subject content may affect the choice of some candidates. If the adjustment of the test content is inconsistent with the candidate's learning direction, some candidates may consider giving up the postgraduate entrance examination.
6. Tuition and living pressure: With the rising cost of social life, candidates should also consider tuition and living expenses while considering further studies, which may discourage some candidates.
7. Educational resources and quality considerations: Some candidates may have doubts about the teaching quality and scientific research resources of colleges and universities, and think that further study may not necessarily bring obvious benefits or promotion.
8. Changes in personal wishes and interests: Some candidates find that their interests or goals have changed after graduation, so they decide not to take the postgraduate entrance examination and switch to other industries or occupations.
