It was once thought that in the early days of reform and opening up, the actual level of graduate students in China was only equivalent to that of high school students. Now some people joke that in Beishangguang, an object fell from the air and hit six people, including five doctoral students and only one master student. Although it is obviously exaggerated, it also reflects to some extent that China's higher education has entered the fast lane since the reform and opening up.
Of course, the level of education can only prove the experience of education, and personal literacy and practical ability must complement social practice and work. The success of American Bill Gates is a typical case. Don't label and certify everyone's abilities. It is the best choice in life to improve your academic qualifications and highlight the pursuit of elegance while strategizing and winning thousands of miles away!
It can be considered from three aspects:
First, the protagonist of elite education is elite. Whether to become elite education depends on whether the educated are elite or not, and second, whether the training direction is elite or not.
Secondly, not all graduate students can become elites, and not all elites have to go to graduate school.
Thirdly, from the probability point of view, from the quantity point of view, graduate education must belong to the elite, because it is already an elite in scarce quantity.
The elite education I understand is the education of cultivating leading figures in all walks of life, that is, the education that can be independent in all walks of life.
Graduate students are only one level of elite education at present, and there are also top levels such as master's degree, doctor's degree and postdoctoral degree.
Can you become a social elite?
Education is on the one hand, mainly depends on his actual ability to enter the society in the future. Can you become a leader in the industry? Can you stand alone in this industry?
The probability of becoming an elite with high academic qualifications is generally greater than that with low academic qualifications. But people with low academic qualifications can also become elites, which is also a low probability event. Everyone agrees with this view, right?
At present, it is a double-class university that trains elite talents in China, which used to belong to the category of 985.2 1 1. Later, in order to achieve the two centennial goals, the state re-examined and positioned the original 985+0 1 university in 20638+06, and decided to establish a double-class university (discipline) education. At present, there are 140 double-class universities in China.
In the future, if you want to become an elite in society, students with ability and families with conditions will generally let your children study in double-class families, which is the only way.
I hope there are more and more elites in our country to lead our country to develop faster! Let people's lives become better and better! Let the dear motherland become richer and richer!
Yes, because it is difficult for you to become an elite without going to graduate school.
I think the elite education you mentioned should be similar to the general education in the west, and the most typical one is Yale University in the United States. He cultivated a man with a sound personality, with a profound humanistic background and open social undertakings, good at introspection and critical thinking, able to fully reflect on values, arrange his own life plan and actively participate in promoting the improvement of public life. In other words, elite education is designed for them by the upper class of our whole society, and they are in charge of the future of this country. Different from the education of the general public, because the general public may receive vocational skills education. The difference between elite education and general education is that the elites trained by elite education are the people who will govern the country in the future, and they use their brains, while the education of the general public may be mostly vocational skills education, and the people trained are the workers of this country, using their hands.
Graduate education is different from elite education. Postgraduate education usually refers to professional education, that is to say, we train professional and technical talents in medical agronomy, legal accounting, construction marketing and so on. Postgraduate education is divided into academic masters and professional masters. Academic master is a professional master who specializes in theoretical research and focuses on practice.
In other words, elite education can include graduate education, but graduate education is not necessarily elite education. Postgraduate education is our modern view, and elite education implies criticism of some western education.
My friend, the elite education I understand should be people with strong hands-on ability and innovative ability-people who have a hall and kitchen, know filial piety and are considerate. Such a person has a deep cultural background and does not have to be highly educated! I hope I can help you!
The core of elite education is to train social organizers.
Based on this basic premise, it can be concluded that graduate education is not necessarily elite education.
There are many people who graduate from graduate school, even after finishing their doctor's degree, and many people are very ordinary. . .
Why would I say that? You can refer to the previous four societies: "Four Societies": learn to do things, learn to be a man, learn to get along with people, and learn how to learn. These four are general education. It is difficult to achieve these four points only through our current rampant forms of education.
Another point of elite education is to learn to lead. That's naturally more difficult.
Therefore, the elite education claimed by training institutions is basically a bluff IQ tax.
Dahua believes that graduate education is not elite education, and education that can really make people have the behavior pattern and cognitive level of social elites from the inside out can be called real elite education. The promotion of academic qualifications is only a representation. Of course, there is no denying that people with high academic qualifications may become elites. Education is betting on high probability events.
