The educational reform in contemporary China is difficult to break through because of many obstacles. Where is the crux? The crux lies in not grasping the core problem of education, that is, the principal contradiction, which requires extraordinary insight. The overall goal of China's educational reform and development is quality education, the essence of which lies in the talent education of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude and the free and all-round development of people. So, where is the resistance of quality education? Alvin toffler and toffler once made it clear to the effect that "success in the past will be the most dangerous constraint in the future". For education in China, the successful system in the past and the current regulations are the biggest constraints and obstacles for future education.

Structural contradictions and institutional obstacles in education may be the biggest obstacles that people often say, but they have not achieved results for decades, so the crux has not been found. After years of educational management and research, it is found that the biggest bottleneck of educational development lies in the current examination system, the college entrance examination and the senior high school entrance examination system, which are as towering as the Twin Towers and insurmountable. The countries and nations with the most Nobel Prize winners are undoubtedly European and American countries and Jews. Their education is an elite education with high-density education, difficult training and high-intensity competition. Is it respected by Asians? Obviously not. The education of Europeans and Americans is a quality education that is humanized, diversified, personalized, characteristic, differentiated and teaches students in accordance with their aptitude. Some people also question that quality education is a loose education that is divorced from natural education, which leads to the decline of learning desire, learning ability and learning "achievement". The best example is Japan's "excess education" and the negative result of its failure. This is obviously a misunderstanding and misinterpretation. Quality education is actually the most appropriate and effective education for a person. In the past twenty years, the biggest obstacle to the implementation of quality education in China is the examination system. Without reforming the existing college entrance examination and senior high school entrance examination system, it will always be a dead letter to realize quality education.

Universities are divided into research-oriented, teaching-oriented and application-oriented, and it is not necessary to cross the college entrance examination, which is the only wooden bridge of "one exam for life". People with research potential and expertise can enter research universities, people with applied skills and talents can enter applied universities or higher vocational colleges, and other ordinary talents can enter teaching universities to receive all-round general education and become all kinds of talents needed for national, social and personal development. In this way, the national college entrance examination system that people have to hold their breath for days, months and years can die. Accompanied by it, there is also the senior high school entrance examination system. The senior high school entrance examination system can also be changed with the reform of the classified admission system of universities, and there will be no great social shock.

Due to the rapid development of higher education, the higher education in this province (autonomous region) is gradually saturated, and the competition will not intensify. Therefore, application-oriented or higher vocational adult colleges will soon be admitted without examination, and now many provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions can start implementing it immediately. Even a teaching university can be gradually realized in 3-5 years. These two types of universities can follow the "registration system" in western Europe, that is, students who have passed the high school graduation examination can apply for their own university studies in recent years. Research universities can enroll students independently, and candidates and schools can apply for and enroll students in all directions, in two ways and in many ways. The more famous universities adopt distinctive, difficult, flexible and effective self-enrollment methods, they have an eye for talents and recruit talents, including many outstanding talents mentioned by Qian Xuesen many times, which not only meets the needs of school development, but also conforms to the laws of talent development and scientific research. Such universities can also recruit and evaluate professors independently, which is first-class. Through this reform, primary and secondary schools and even preschool education will no longer be dragged, pressured and restricted by the college entrance examination system, but can teach students in accordance with their aptitude. The quality education that is most suitable for everyone will emerge as the times require, and the personalized, characteristic, differentiated, diversified, humanized and creative advanced education mentioned above will be realized. Primary and secondary school students are liberated from the heavy pressure of entering higher schools and the burden of schoolwork, and the advanced education mechanism and ultimate goal of "autonomous learning, teaching students in accordance with their aptitude and healthy growth" will come naturally. In the past, we paid too much attention to first-class teachers, first-class teaching materials, first-class equipment and first-class investment, that is, we ignored and forgot all education. Everything in school, family and society should be student-centered, which is the essence of education, namely quality education and advanced education. The major reform of education needs top-level design, unconventional creativity and thinking, and more importantly, decision makers need to be diligent in thinking, push public opinion, turn the tide and be brave in practice. Before making a major breakthrough, reform must allow trial, trial and failure.
