Why are not a few graduate students giving up admission under the "postgraduate entrance examination craze"
2023-07-05
The graduation season is approaching its end, and many college graduates have entered their job positions. Some graduates are about to enter the school again after the summer vacation to continue their studies. In recent years, although the "postgraduate entrance examination fever" has continued to heat up, the phenomenon of graduate students "recording but not reading" is also common. In 2019, the website of the Graduate School of Suzhou University released a message stating that 68 2019 level graduate students from the school had automatically waived their admission qualifications due to failure to complete admission procedures according to the school's regulations. In 2022, the official website of the Graduate School of China University of Political Science and Law announced that 32 graduate students of the university had given up their admission qualification, causing heated debate. Nowadays, the difficulty of taking the postgraduate entrance examination has been increasing year by year. Why is there still a widespread phenomenon of "recording but not reading"? What are the impacts of new students' "enrolling but not reading" on college enrollment work? The cause of the phenomenon of "recording without reading" is complex. "From the perspective of students, the situation of these students who have given up their admission after being admitted to graduate school is relatively complex." Gao Yao, associate professor of the School of Education of Tianjin University, told Science and Technology Daily that many students currently regard the postgraduate entrance examination as an option for human students. If they have better employment opportunities in the process of postgraduate entrance examination, they may give up studying. These students choose to take the postgraduate entrance examination not out of strong academic interest, "said Gao Yao. Giving up admission may also be due to students' dissatisfaction with the institution or major they are admitted to. With the increasing competition for employment and postgraduate entrance exams, some candidates may choose to apply to universities or majors that they believe are not highly competitive but are not their preferred ones in order to smoothly "land". Some students who apply for full-time graduate studies are transferred to part-time positions during the admission stage, in which case, even if they are ultimately admitted, they may choose not to enroll. Studying for a graduate degree requires a certain amount of time and money, and some students may choose to give up pursuing it due to financial difficulties and inability to afford the tuition and living expenses during their graduate studies. Therefore, financial pressure and time costs are also important reasons, "said Gao Yao. In addition, uncontrollable factors such as sudden illness and family upheaval may also force students to give up their further education plans. There are many reasons for "recording without reading", and although many of them can be understood, this behavior inevitably leads to a waste of educational resources and also affects the enrollment order of universities. Gao Yao stated that universities will also invest a lot of time, manpower, and funds in the process of graduate enrollment to screen and enroll graduate students. If students choose to "enroll but not enroll," the resources and enrollment indicators invested by universities will be wasted, affecting the efficiency of graduate student training and social equity. If the phenomenon of "recording but not reading" in a university is more common, it will also have some negative impacts on the reputation of the university. Employers and other educational institutions may pay more attention to this situation, and even have doubts about the quality of education and the credibility of students in the school. In addition to bringing inconvenience to college enrollment, Gao Yao believes that giving up pursuing postgraduate studies means that students may miss out on opportunities to delve deeper into their professional fields, which may to some extent limit their future career development. While multiple measures are being taken to protect the rights and interests of students and the school, the phenomenon of "recording without reading" is frequent, there are also many
