What is the name of the mainland enrollment of Hong Kong University this year? Harvest? . Up to now, HKU has confirmed the admission of 1 1 person to the college entrance examination in mainland China, including 3 top students in Beijing liberal arts and 2 top students in Shanghai and Hunan liberal arts.
The college entrance examination is over, and the enrollment competition around the number one scholar is fierce. Noting that the University of Hong Kong has once again become a popular school this year, it has decided to enroll 1 1 top students in the world. Last year, the University of Hong Kong also admitted 10 top students in the mainland college entrance examination, accounting for 1/7 of the total number of top students in the mainland.
At first glance, people think that HKU is dedicated to digging the top candidates in the college entrance examination. On the contrary, HKU is not short of top scholars. As early as 2005, 1 1 top students from various provinces and cities were rejected when applying for admission to HKU. The reason is: HKU attaches equal importance to college entrance examination scores and interview results, and HKU will not be included? Nerd? .
HKU's action was quite surprising at the time. Because for many years, the top candidates in the mainland college entrance examination can choose famous schools at will, and colleges and universities are also attracted? Champion? There are many tricks when you enter school.
The University of Hong Kong, which is not uncommon as the number one scholar, has not deterred candidates. On the contrary, more candidates want to study at HKU. Why?
Mainland students have the most say. In 2002, Li Funa from Beijing participated in the selection of HKU and became a freshman in Tsinghua University. Although I didn't get high marks in the college entrance examination, I entered the Chemistry Department of Hong Kong University through written examination and interview with my excellent English expression ability. Li NaF said:? When studying in China, you can turn a deaf ear to things outside the window, but in HKU, you have to do a lot of things. ?
Liu Qiao, who came to HKU as an assistant professor after graduating from the National People's Congress, believes that the advantage of HKU lies in internationalization first. 50% of HKU teachers come from overseas, including the United States and Europe. The ability of professors is internationally recognized, reaching the level of top American schools. On the other hand, in some famous schools in China, the teaching materials are aging, the information is blocked, the teachers' vision is narrow, and the quality is of course different. This year, three girls in Beijing tied for the first place in the liberal arts college entrance examination, but all three girls gave up Peking University and chose to study in HKU. The parents of one of the students told reporters that their children chose HKU because they wanted to try different educational systems and methods.
In fact, the different attitudes of HKU and domestic universities towards the top candidates in the college entrance examination reflect two different orientations: HKU pays more attention to the international perspective? How to cultivate students' all-round quality? Don't care how many top students attend; However, domestic schools pay more attention to the reputation of schools, and the number of top students seems to be regarded as a yardstick to measure the quality of education and the influence of schools.
At present, although some high-quality students have flowed to Hong Kong universities, the status of famous universities in the Mainland has not been affected? Shake it? However, what does the participation of Hong Kong universities in the enrollment competition bring? Catfish effect? , should not be ignored. Although few candidates can attend HKU, mainland universities should not choose the information disclosed by HKU as the first choice for many outstanding candidates, right? Numb? . In particular, some mainland universities pay too much attention to economic benefits and neglect teaching quality, and pay too much attention to scientific research and neglect teaching. Some schools have outdated professional settings and rigid teaching methods, and students' learning motivation is insufficient. If these phenomena are not changed, the competitiveness and influence of mainland universities in the minds of candidates may be difficult to be fundamentally changed.
