738 Higher education
For many Tang nationals, the world is too big, and the circle they live in is too small. Even if many Tang people can tell in the newspapers and broadcasts what kind of war Datang seems to have fought again, or where they have obtained an overseas consulate, unless they have family members serving in the army, the value of this news seems to be less than that of things like personal income tax reform or weekend specials at Lianhua supermarkets.
Many immigrants who move into North America soon find that this new home is particularly lively, and then find that the place is exceptionally quiet and boring. Everyone has a quiet day every day, going to work and school on time and on time, watching TV and listening to the radio at home at night, playing cards or drinking with colleagues and friends in groups. Although there are rivers and lakes where there are people, and wherever there are Chinese, the twists and turns of the interpersonal circle have become more and more tendentious, but there is no urging from time to time, there is no exploitation by the landlords and bullies in the village, and there is no bullying by the government and strongmen, everyone's life has always been so dull.
Many newcomers to North America will always hear old immigrants tell them: "The life of Datang is easy. ”
The Chinese language is broad and profound, and if it is easy to pass inside, it contains multiple meanings. It's only when the newcomers have lived here for a while that they can slowly appreciate the taste.
In fact, don't say that it is an ordinary Shengdou Xiaomin, even some children born in Zhong Mingding's food family, and they often don't have much interest in everything that happens in the outside world. Even the daughter of the president's family seems to have the same pursuits and troubles as ordinary girls of the same age.
Bai Xin, the eldest daughter of the president's family, is 19 years old this year and is a junior majoring in sociology at Lodo University. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Datang developed its own education major, and had a special preference for science and engineering, which was actually a kind of inertia from later generations. However, with the development of the Tang Dynasty, more and more people of insight have proposed that the natural sciences and the humanities are indispensable, the lack of the former may lead to the country's industrial construction and scientific research stagnation, while the lack of the latter may lead to the overall decline of national morality and the emergence of social problems that cannot be solved. Therefore, in recent years, Datang has also used a lot of effort in the development of humanities. For example, on the other hand, it is a very unreasonable thing for science students to discriminate against liberal arts students, because it is even more absurd to study science and engineering and take humanities. Datang is higher than country C in the other plane in terms of foundation and starting point, so it naturally selects a more balanced and healthy development in education, and simply pursues the speed of a rich country and a strong country and infinitely elevates the role of science and engineering. An all-round power cannot only be strong in a certain local field, but lead in an all-round way.
The development of the humanities in the Tang Dynasty also attracted many Europeans to study and discuss, including the famous philosopher Immanuel Kant and Hegel, who was still a young man at this time. Maybe the scholars of the Tang Dynasty are not as talented as some genius masters, but after all, they are standing on a higher mountain, so they still make people feel that the mountains are uplifted.
The reason why Datang's compulsory school system is six years of primary school, two years of junior high school and two years of high school is shorter than that of the other side, on the one hand, because of the times, the structure of knowledge cannot be too complicated, and second, it is indeed compressed in terms of content and knowledge. Most of the students go into the workforce after graduating from high school. Because at this stage, Datang's high school degree is already a great talent for the whole world. Datang's university education is also a truly elite education. No matter which Datang institution of higher learning you come from, you can basically guarantee a bright future in the future.
Datang has survived for more than 20 years, and it can be regarded as a group of outstanding professors from colleges and universities with real talents, who often not only undertake teaching work, but also research talents in many high-tech fields of Datang.
Compared with the completely free and even subsidized compulsory education, the cost of higher education in Datang is still relatively expensive. For ordinary families, it is not unaffordable, but it is basically a major expense. Therefore, in Datang High School, the teachers will tell the students, if your grades are good enough, then go to the university and apply for a scholarship to sit back and relax. But if you are just an ordinary student, even if you can pass the college entrance examination, you should also consider whether to go to university, because there are many opportunities to work directly after graduating from high school. At this time, Datang was a fast-growing society, and the examples of successful people continued to inspire people, so everyone knew the myth that higher education did not necessarily equal a better future.
Naturally, there is also a creature called the children of rich people in Datang. After 20 years of rapid development, many Tang people have become tycoons with a lot of money from nothing, and their children are naturally the beneficiaries. If it happens that these rich children are not so good at learning and can get admission letters through the college entrance examination, they will naturally be able to afford to go to college.
It has to be mentioned that students with excellent family conditions are not allowed to apply for any form of scholarship or bursary if the annual family income is more than 20,000 Tang Yuan. Students with relatively good family conditions, with an annual family income of less than 20,000 Tang Yuan and more than 10,000 Tang Yuan, can apply for the half prize but not the full award.
The Datang Education Department does not advocate any form of education loans, and only provides scholarships and grants. It is obviously inappropriate for a young graduate to be burdened with a debt when he steps into society. On the other hand, the average amount of student loans carried by American college graduates is as high as $35,000, and even many families cannot earn income without eating or drinking for a year. The deterioration of the employment environment has caused a large number of graduates to seek a job after graduating with high loans, but they cannot repay the loans. When they are unable to repay their education loans, they experience a more dramatic credit crash than other loans. Even if the level of education in a country is very high, it is the pinnacle to be able to pit its own students to such a level. Therefore, it is not surprising to see a large number of Chinese students on North American campuses - anyway, local students have no money to go to school, and international students spend their parents' money. This is also a cultural difference, Chinese parents work all their lives to get a better future for their children, while Europe and the United States are the rhythm of fulfilling their obligations and ending here. Well, this may also be one of the reasons why most old men and old ladies in Europe and the United States are lonely nursing homes.
When Datang Higher Education was established, there were enough successful and failed cases that it could learn from, so it could try to ensure the correctness of the direction. (To be continued.) )
