Is poverty a disaster?
There is so much to say about poverty. We often inspire poor students, such as "poverty is the wealth of life", "God wants to drop people, first suffering their minds, straining their bones and muscles, starving their skins ..." and so on. Recently, however, a girl's anti-tone has spread like wildfire in the media. She said: Poverty is a disaster! This girl, who is said to be a famous university in Shanghai, actually worked as an escort to earn tuition because of this "disaster". For a child who is interested in learning, whether poverty is "wealth" or "disaster" has caused a heated debate on the Internet. I think this is naturally different from person to person, and it is difficult to generalize. "Since ancient times, great talents have suffered a lot, and there have never been many great men." I don't agree with this absolute judgment. The state and society have indeed made a lot of efforts, but every time the university starts, we can still hear many sad stories of poor children in the face of high tuition fees. In the face of many well-meaning ideas and systems, poverty still makes poor children "hit a wall": the amount of state bonuses is expanding, but it is still a drop in the bucket compared with the number of poor students. In northwest universities, the area of poor students accounts for 50%. The "poverty" here is very different from the concept of "poverty" that we often use when talking about getting rid of poverty in rural areas. The latter means that reaching "food and clothing" is regarded as poverty alleviation. The families of poor college students may not be afraid of freezing and hunger, but in poor areas, even well-off families have to pay six or seven thousand yuan for tuition at once, which is also an unbearable sum. The national student loan is an excellent policy, which is very considerate of poor students and can be exempted from secured loans. However, applying for this loan requires a lot of formalities and a long time to wait for approval. Many poor students can't wait for money and have to pay the tuition for the first semester, but they are still at a loss. For example, your college entrance examination results may be in Tsinghua and Peking University, but you are afraid of tuition. Then, can we choose colleges or normal colleges with relatively low fees in the province, or even get high scholarships for the same results, so as to avoid the trouble of tuition fees? If you want to get a better education, you can also choose to work for a period of time after graduation and then go to a prestigious graduate school ... but have we provided a lot of information for poor students to choose from? They were originally located in a remote place. How do they know what kind of colleges and majors are best for them? A friend is going to study in England recently. After she passed the IELTS test, many colleges and universities sent her school materials, recommended her majors suitable for her, and told her the amount of scholarships and the local living expenses, so that she could choose according to her own situation. Can our colleges and universities do it? If colleges and universities want to "sell" their enthusiasm, can they only be stimulated by "independent enrollment"? There are also work-study programs, most of which are still concentrated in schools. Is it possible to further expand the scope to the society? We have always been familiar with "foreigners jumping in line". Many China students who have traveled across the ocean are relatively poor students in western universities. They finish their studies through work and other means. Around this theme, many famous literary and film and television works have also appeared. Even our school system can be more flexible, allowing students to work and study, allowing students to register first, keep their school status, and earn enough tuition before completing their studies. Deng Xiaoping, a great man, also went through his youth to work and study in Europe. Such hardships have indeed become a fortune in life.
