I can't say how many people have been harmed, but I can only say that too many people's college dreams have been fulfilled. University enrollment expansion, also known as college enrollment expansion or college enrollment expansion, including graduate enrollment expansion, undergraduate enrollment expansion and higher vocational enrollment expansion, refers to the educational reform policy of expanding college enrollment in the whole country (that is, Chinese mainland) on the basis of solving economic and employment problems since 1999.

In 20 12 years, the undergraduate enrollment scale of public universities will remain relatively stable, and the quality of higher education will decline due to excessive enrollment expansion, so the undergraduate enrollment expansion for 13 years will be stopped. In 20 19, the enrollment of higher vocational colleges increased by 1 10,000, and the gross enrollment rate of higher education in China exceeded 50%, entering the stage of popularization of higher education.

On the one hand, the expansion of enrollment allows a large number of people who can't go to college to go to college; Let those who can't go to a good university go to a good university, then the corresponding quality of education will be reduced; It also does some harm to poor students. After the expansion of enrollment, tuition fees have risen sharply. Government subsidies and loans were not put in place immediately, and the publicity of these policies was not enough, which made many poor students unable to pay college tuition for a while. This undoubtedly made some people who had the opportunity to enter the university miss it. This has affected their lives.

On the other hand, the enrollment expansion has greatly increased the enrollment rate of senior high schools and enabled more students to realize their college dreams. Improve the national quality and narrow the gap in education level; At the same time, it has developed the economy, stimulated domestic demand and achieved a staged leap in education development. Generally speaking, the expansion of university enrollment is still a necessary measure.
