Rush for Postgraduate Study
It is a hot issue for a large number of postgraduates to do a degree. The number of the candidates to register themself for the examination shows a year-by-year uptrend. To take 2003 to 2007 as an example, there were only 0.7 million of them in 2003, and in the following four years, the number increased at a percentage of 10 and it multiplied into 1.0 million in 2006; yet, up to 2007, the situation had a sudden leap — a percentage of 0.3 marks a new upsurge.
What does the increase by degrees suggest? The reason is nothing more than the following:
First of all, both the education situation and economic situation are bullish in our country, which increases the speed of an appetite that many graduates from collages want to have a more advanced enlargement in their knowledge and ability. In the meantime, the competition to take up an occupation is more severe with the economic advance. In theratraceof today's situation, only the fittest survives better, therefore, more and more candidates are struggling on this difficult path.
This phenomenon is mingled hope and fear in my opinion.The hope is that it is favourable to another advanceof the population quality of our country, while an overcrowded graduates with master’s and doctor’s will be certainly difficulty to be taken up to their ideal positions of employment.
