In the development of education in China, the difficulty and quantity of technical secondary schools and universities have changed greatly. From a historical perspective, this article will discuss the changes in education in China and the differences between students of that era and today's students.

Difficulties in technical secondary schools

In the 1970s, secondary schools were as difficult as two books now, and in the 1980s, they were as difficult as three books. By the 1990s, the difficulty of technical secondary schools had dropped to the level comparable to that of junior colleges.

Number of universities

Now, we are in an era of popularization of universities. It seems that as long as you study hard, you can successfully enter the university. But in the 1970s and 1980s, universities were not only few in number, but also relatively small in scale.

The difficulty of getting into 2 1 1 colleges and universities

Universities in that era were mainly composed of 2 1 1 colleges and some powerful undergraduate colleges. Getting into 2 1 1 colleges is as difficult as getting into universities at that time.

Normal education level

From the perspective of normal secondary schools, the strength of students who can be admitted to normal secondary schools in the 1980s is basically equivalent to that of two normal schools now. Those who can be admitted to normal colleges have now reached the level of normal schools.

Number of outstanding students

At that time, the students who were admitted to technical secondary schools were at least above average in their classes, and they were considered good students, but they were not particularly outstanding. After all, there were hundreds of universities and hundreds of thousands of undergraduates in China at that time. Only those who stand out from thousands of undergraduates can be truly called excellent students.

Education scale

Compared with now, the number of college students in the 1980s was18-360,000, and the population of the same age was about 24 million. At that time, the number of students enrolled in technical secondary schools and above was less than 500,000, but now the number of graduate students has exceeded 6,543,800+0,000. According to the proportion of population, the current university enrollment exceeds 7 million, but the population of the same age is less than 20 million.

The level of middle school students

This means that the secondary school students in the 1980s were equivalent to more than 265,438+065,438+0 graduate students, while the technical school students were equivalent to graduates of a university, and even half of them reached the graduate level.
