The reason why he put forward this view is to look at the problem from a macro perspective, not from the overall situation. The advantages of higher education resources can produce a group of talents, but the advantages of basic education will produce a group of talents. How can I put it? For example, a college student already has his own worldview values and has accumulated some basic knowledge, even if it is sublimated, it is easy.
However, the deviation of basic education leads to the final result that some people can go to college and some people will not go to school in junior high school. We don't evaluate whether these people who haven't finished college will make a fortune in the future, but they are certainly not as good as those who have gone to college in terms of knowledge accumulation. The knowledge accumulation I am talking about here is something learned, not something that can be obtained through industry judgment or experience accumulation.
Take sales as an example, you can know how to sell the car in a few years, but you need to spend a lot of effort to know how the car was made and why it ran on the road. People who know this knowledge can sell their cars well with a little effort. This is a typical example, that is, you can move bricks without reading them, and I can leave after reading them, but you can't draw, I can!
