On August 25th, Tsinghua University ushered in the first day of postgraduate entrance examination. Among more than 9,400 freshmen from all over the world, the youngest doctoral student is only 18 years old. Everyone was surprised to see the age of this doctoral student. How did this happen? Isn't it nine-year compulsory education? Normal graduate students must be over 20 years old, and it seems difficult to achieve the goal of 18 years old to study for a doctorate. The only explanation is that this child has been included in the talent training plan by his parents since he was a child, and he has made a lot of efforts and painstaking efforts.

1. How old do you usually go to graduate school? If you study in China, you have to receive nine-year compulsory education, from primary school, middle school, undergraduate to graduate school, generally at the age of 24-25. And the master's degree is calculated according to three years, and the medical time will be longer.

Under normal circumstances, young people who enter universities in China are all junior classes. For example, the junior class of the Chinese University of Science and Technology is generally 14 years old, and the graduate students of the university are 20 years old.

Second, how did you 18 get your doctorate? After seeing this news, some netizens did some calculations. He thought that the child's prenatal education was done early. He should go to junior high school at the age of 5 and go to college at the age of 1 1. Then it took seven years to add a master's degree in the undergraduate course, so 18 years old studied PhD. In fact, this is a very ridiculous statement. It is not realistic to go to junior high school at the age of five.

After combing all kinds of news, this doctoral student actually graduated from Tsinghua, and the high probability is that he is a direct doctoral student, directly studying for a doctorate from the undergraduate course. Tsinghua studied for four years as an undergraduate and three years as a graduate student, but if he gets all the credits soon, it may mean that he can graduate ahead of time. This estimate is only known by the schoolmasters in Tsinghua. I remember Lei Jun graduated from Wuhan University two years in advance.

Article 9 of Tsinghua University's academic system stipulates:

The school implements credit system management and flexible study years. Students can graduate ahead of schedule after completing the contents stipulated in the professional training plan and obtaining the credits required for graduation.

Therefore, the biggest possibility is that this student is too excellent. It is very likely that/kloc-entered Tsinghua at the age of 0/3, and then completed the credit accumulation of this major by virtue of his early learning ability, and graduated with undergraduate and master's degrees in advance.

Third, think more. There is no doubt that this 18-year-old doctor grew up under the careful cultivation of his parents. He made a training plan for his children very early. With the children's efforts and persistence, 18 years old can be a doctor. However, it is estimated that only he knows whether his childhood is happy or not. It is estimated that many people are saying that I am sour. In fact, I do not advocate this kind of training. How can a person who is really useful to society become a talent in a few years?

Everyone wants their children to be excellent, but it is not advisable to guide talent training with the idea of surpassing their peers. I don't think it is necessary to skip classes in violation of compulsory education regulations. Unless the child is really talented and can't be trained at a normal pace, let the child grow up with his peers and let them feel the happiness of ordinary people.
