I think to answer this question, we need to analyze it from many aspects. First of all, we need to know the reasons for the sharp increase in the number of masters and doctors at present, and whether the increase in the number will have an impact on society and economy; Secondly, we also need to explore the significance and role of graduate students in personal development and future career development. Finally, from the policy point of view, we can see whether the graduate school can be optimized and adjusted to meet the needs of the current society.

First, the reasons for the increase in the number of graduate students

In the past few years, China's higher education system has experienced rapid expansion. "2 1 1 Project" and "985 Project" implemented since 20 10 are two national plans to improve the quality and level of higher education. These programs provide more funds and resources for colleges and universities, and promote the improvement of teaching and scientific research level.

In addition, with the rapid development of national economy in the past decade, there is an increasing need to train more professionals in China market. Many enterprises and institutions prefer to employ talents with higher education, master's degree or doctoral degree. These factors make more and more undergraduate graduates choose to study for graduate school, and with the lowering of the threshold for obtaining a degree, more people can choose to study for master's and doctor's degrees.

Second, the impact of the increase in the number of graduate students.

In recent years, master students and doctoral students have become an indispensable part of the higher education system. However, there are also many problems among a large number of graduate students, such as:

1. Difficult employment: Due to the substantial increase in the number of graduate students, the competition is more intense. For many graduate students, finding a job has become a great challenge.

2. High time cost: It takes a lot of time and energy to study for a master's degree or a doctor's degree, and there are many other requirements to be met (such as publishing documents, etc.). ), which makes those who want to enter the workplace as soon as possible or seek other development opportunities reluctant to continue their studies.

3. The cost of money is high: studying for a master's or doctor's degree requires high expenses, including tuition, accommodation and living expenses. This is very difficult for people with poor family economic conditions.

Third, the significance and role of the graduate school

Although graduate students may have some problems and challenges, they still have irreplaceable value for personal development and future career.

1. Improve the level of knowledge: By studying for a master's or doctoral degree, you can systematically learn more in-depth professional knowledge. Mastering more practical skills and theoretical knowledge will help people to better deal with various complex problems in their future careers.

2. Enhance competitiveness: Compared with people who only have a bachelor's degree, having a master's or doctoral degree can bring greater advantages to job seekers. This is usually manifested in higher salary, better welfare treatment, better promotion opportunities and so on.

3. Promote personal growth: During graduate school, you need to do all kinds of work and research, such as participating in project research, completing paper publishing, and conducting academic exchanges. These experiences can make people exercise and grow.

Fourth, policy adjustment.

In order to alleviate the current surplus of master students and doctoral students, the government can consider taking some measures or adjusting policies to meet the current social needs.

1. Control the enrollment scale: By limiting the enrollment scale, the number of graduate students can be effectively reduced. At the same time, the government can also encourage universities to increase other talent training programs to help more people enter the workplace and increase the employment rate.

2. Strengthen career planning guidance: when enrolling students, you can do a good job in career planning guidance, tell those who are willing to study the advantages and disadvantages of studying for a master's degree or a doctor's degree, realize a comprehensive survey of the job market after graduation and collect information, and truly offer various courses according to the needs of the industry.

3. Strengthen financial support: If the government can provide more financial support for students who are preparing or studying for graduate school, then these students will be more likely to complete their degrees and can quickly enter the workplace to supplement market demand.

To sum up, although graduate students will face a series of problems and challenges at present, studying for a master's degree or a doctor's degree is still an option worth considering. Governments, universities and individuals can take some measures to effectively control the number of graduate students, strengthen employment guidance and provide more support to ensure that these graduates can make greater contributions to the country, society and economy.
