First of all, because the population of China is too large now, someone once said, "The population of China is too large. Any small problem multiplied by 65.438+0.3 billion will become a big problem, and the big welfare divided by 65.438+0.3 billion people will become a small welfare. " Therefore, with such a large population in China, even though the current undergraduate rate is not high, there are indeed many college students in China.

Chinese population

There were not so many college students in China when the People's Republic of China was founded, but since the Republic of China, we have gradually realized that college students are progressive and open, which makes us realize that college students are beneficial to social progress.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, we have a population of 300 million to 400 million, but the illiteracy rate is as high as 90%. In other words, 90% people in New China at that time could not read, which greatly affected social progress. In order to reduce the illiteracy rate, we have made a lot of efforts, the most significant effect is to simplify Chinese characters, simplify complex and difficult Chinese characters into the current Chinese character style, reduce the learning difficulty and greatly reduce the illiteracy rate.

Although the illiteracy rate was greatly reduced at that time, many of them could only be regarded as literate, not intellectuals. At that time, college students were very precious. A college student can take an examination of a town and a township, which is simply a treasure of villages and towns. The scenery of beating gongs and drums was reported to the university.

Illiteracy rate

With the development of economy, our educational ability and educational ability have been enough to support more college students, so we have introduced the university enrollment expansion law. In decades, our college students have expanded several times and dozens of times. The illiteracy rate has been further reduced, and more and more people have received higher education, but people's personalities have not changed. The expansion of university enrollment is not because we have made rapid progress, but because the threshold of university has been lowered. In the past, you had to get 500 points to enter the university, but now you can get 200 points to enter the university, which inevitably brings about the decline of college students' quality and has been criticized.
