There is a puzzling phenomenon in the current education situation in China: almost all people in the society know that there are serious problems in the current education system, but people still obey him without hesitation, just like they are willing to jump in knowing that there is a pit ahead. People clearly know that being admitted to a university does not mean finding a job. However, in the face of the cruel theory of academic qualifications, people have to flock to universities and crawl forward under the kidnapping of that paper diploma. China people have never been so awake and helplessly entangled in the exam problem as they are today, and walked in the paradox of life without resistance.

2 1 century has quietly turned this page. How will China face the challenges and opportunities in the new century? Our party pointed out with great foresight: "Education is the foundation of a century-long plan." As early as September 1977, shortly after Deng Xiaoping's comeback, he put the issue of education in front of the whole party and people all over the country with great foresight, and said earnestly, "Without science and education, there is no hope for the four modernizations". 1 May to1May, 985: "After more than ten years of school education, the dolls in the first grade of primary school will become the new force to create the great cause of 2 1 century." Today's education is tomorrow's politics and tomorrow's economy. It can be said that education is the foundation of the country. Because only through education can we cultivate high-quality talents and devote themselves to all walks of life in national construction, so as to realize the prosperity and strength of the country. In the information knowledge era of 2 1 century, people who don't pay attention to education can only wait for the fate of being eliminated.

However, in today's China, the college entrance examination has become a huge social ceremony, and the news of the college entrance examination every year always creates a new public opinion field with great interest. Parents burn incense in Confucius Temple to pray for their children's high scores, senior three girls call for "inviting them to sleep" to relieve the pressure, Hengshui No.2 Middle School's "swearing-in meeting for the college entrance examination" is staged with passion, and mothers are willing to kneel for their deceased daughters to take the exam ... In the real environment, these news forces people to reflect on something, but it seems that there are also reasonable parts, because the college entrance examination is big and all logic makes way for the college entrance examination. We should do everything possible to be patient in other areas, even at the expense of a little speed, to solve the education problem well. 3 "Party committees and governments at all levels should not only attach importance to education, but also attach great importance to it, be strict with it, talk less and do more practical things." four

Changing fate through the college entrance examination is still the only way for most children in China. The college entrance examination creates an intriguing special scene, because there are indelible stories and details, which condense all the essence and soul of "China people's struggle".

Ten years of grinding a sword, just for this June, "a test is coming." In the logical system explained by the word "competition", the college entrance examination is the best way to enhance the sense of trust in life, and "Black June" has become a constant and firm social phenomenon. Competition is not only the principle of blood reward for senior three students, but also pushed to middle schools, primary schools and even kindergartens early. The competition rolled up by the college entrance examination is doomed to be profound, thorough and social. It quietly took over all the logic of exam-oriented education, and all the beautiful visions about quality education were seriously put in the cold.

Different from western countries, in China culture, from the imperial examination, reading is more like an elaborate political arrangement, and examination is a ritual "procedure" that a person must go through to change his destiny. "Official-oriented", "intellectual aristocrat" and "learning to be an excellent official" vaguely reveal the subtle relationship between knowledge and politics. This cultural psychology has continued to this day, and the college entrance examination has been endowed with similar social functions intentionally or unintentionally.

Since 1999, the enrollment expansion policy has fulfilled more students' college dreams. However, in the complex logic of revitalizing education, stimulating domestic demand, maintaining stability and class mobility, college students are facing enormous employment pressure. The cruel reality has crushed people's beautiful imagination of the college entrance examination, so that they can't accept the fact that "Peking University graduates sell pork", and knowledge and fate are forced to break away from each other's explanatory logic.

"Hard work is our tradition. In the future, we should pay close attention to hard work and plain living education and keep it for 60 or 70 years. The more developed our country is, the more we should work hard to start a business. Advocating the spirit of hard work and entrepreneurship can also help overcome corruption. The sweat that was once full of hope buried the expectation and confidence of the world. If "entrance to the college entrance examination" is fairly fair, such phenomena as "hereditary system of social stratum", "poor families are hard to produce expensive children" and "parents' employment age" all point to the right or wrong of "entrance to work".

The college entrance examination, which once carried the educational conscience, has never become an extremely tangled symbol representation like today, and finally lost its powerful symbol exchange function. In the face of the criticized "work door", the expansion of enrollment has given children from wealthy families more job opportunities to some extent. They easily crossed the college entrance examination, and then squeezed out the jobs that originally belonged to excellent children with their well-developed contacts. "The entrance to the college entrance examination" is stumbling under the collective expectation of holding up the "Chinese struggle".

In front of the disillusioned "work gate", the "entrance to the college entrance examination" has not been historically overhead, and this road is still "crowded". This can't help but mention the impetuous "education-only" employment mechanism of our time. Nowadays, jobs such as nannies and waiters almost invariably turn to university education. When the "depreciation of talents" becomes a reality, academic qualifications push the ability to a dead end, further activating the "market demand" for university diplomas. As a result, some private universities and independent colleges openly sell diplomas, and art enrollment is everywhere. The art craze is only because the art major is "easy to test". Such "bubble education" has flooded, indirectly diluting the "gold content" of university diplomas. "Neither teaching and education divorced from productive labor, nor productive labor without teaching and education at the same time, can reach the height required by the level of modern technology and the status quo of scientific knowledge." six

I am studying in the university now. To tell the truth, when I personally experienced the university, it was really far from the sacred ivory tower in my mind. As a student, I am not qualified to judge the university education in China. Here I quote Beno, former president of Yale University? Let's talk about university education in China with a few words from Schmidt:

They think that society only needs more excellence: more courses, more teachers, more students and more school buildings. The significance of their academic retirement is a platform to bid farewell to life, and few people are still interested in their majors unless they are profitable. They have no real career of their own. They plan art and treat researchers as shoemakers. No wonder they like to call themselves gardeners. We respect a veritable gardener, but despise a teacher who has no independent and free thinking spirit. Many people still think that they are really engaged in education. They attended some of our meetings. We are basically polite, and they are not treated politely.

The president has many comments on the education in China University. Of course, these are just some personal opinions, but they are enough to arouse our reflection. Why can China win gold again and again in those international Olympic Games and other competitions, while few people in China's population of more than one billion have won the Nobel Prize, the highest academic honor? Is this education in China?

In addition, there are not only these problems in the current education situation in China, but also some problems worthy of people's reflection. Compulsory learning of English in primary school stifles creative thinking. Let's reflect on why South Korea has applied for China's cultural heritage while we are learning the so-called international language. This is the so-called worship of foreign things and flattery of foreign countries. Of course, China's education problems are not limited to these, but I can only think of these at my level.

Some people may argue that the college entrance examination is really useless. Otherwise, why should the country continue to implement the college entrance examination system for more than 30 years? I think the college entrance examination still has some advantages:

First of all, it is convenient for the unified implementation of examinations, enrollment and admission. People in charge of education save trouble, schools save trouble, and universities save trouble. At least universities don't have to work hard to think of various ways to select students, and the national standards are unified. No matter how compared with foreign countries, everyone is the same at home.

In addition, the college entrance examination has another advantage, and the most important point is fairness. It can be said that fairness is difficult to achieve, and almost all disputes over time stem from unfairness. However, the college entrance examination guarantees fairness to a great extent. Regardless of cheating and black-box operations, at least everyone has the same starting point, the same time and equal opportunities. I think this is also the main reason why the college entrance examination can be implemented so far.

Although the college entrance examination has many disadvantages, it is likely to exist for a long time in the education history of China before the emergence of a new selection system. As far as the basic national conditions of China are concerned, it is indeed more suitable than other systems.
