—— Beijing Radio and TV University

In the early 1980s, a young woman wrote "Beijing Radio and TV University" in the column of graduation institution in her resume. After seeing the unheard-of unit leader in this university, he asked, "Where is your school? Is this degree recognized by the state? " The young woman told him confidently: "There are students in our school in all provinces and regions, and the state recognizes our academic qualifications!" "

From 65438 to 0977, the country resumed the entrance examination for higher education, which enabled a large number of young people who had delayed their studies during the ten-year catastrophe to regain the opportunity to go to college. However, the road to the sacred temple of "University" has always been so narrow and crowded ... Every July, there are always several happy families, and the enrollment rate is less than 10%, which means that more than 90% of the students are squeezed off the "single-plank bridge".

1979, the Radio and TV University, which was closed for more than ten years, resumed enrollment, and many students who lost the opportunity to go to college found hope again.

Beijing Radio and TV University is the first national radio and TV university in China. It is an open and comprehensive social university in Beijing that uses radio, television, audio-visual education and printed teaching materials for distance teaching. It was established in February 1960 at the initiative of Deng Tuo and others. On March 8th of the same year, the first president was Wu Han, who enrolled more than 6,000 undergraduates and preppies in the first phase. At that time, there were four departments: Mathematics Department, Physics Department, Chemistry Department, Chinese Department and English Department.

After Beijing Radio and TV University, Shanghai, Shenyang, Changchun, Guangzhou and other cities have also opened TV universities. Jilin and Chongqing have established amateur radio universities. After the "Cultural Revolution" began, RTVU closed down one after another. 1979 1 month, RTVU resumed its studies. By1988 * *, 42 majors had been opened, 30 of which started with CCTV.

Radio and TV universities, night universities, vocational universities, correspondence universities, self-taught universities and ordinary universities have formed a three-dimensional framework of higher education in China. The "Big Five" allowed more young people to "walk into" the door of universities, thus fulfilling their university dreams.
