5 Reasons Why Students in China Opt to Not Get a Post-Graduate Degree

by admin on January 21st, 2008

Chinese students are wanting to do post-graduate work at a lesser number this year than in the previous 10 years. The number, 1.2 million applicants is off 6% from last year.

The Ministry of Education (MOE) attributes the decline to:

1. fewer employment opportunities for graduates with masters and PhDs.

2. a new focus on real ability as opposed to education qualifications

3. companies wanting to save money - undergrads with the same ability as a grad or post grad will cost less.

4. fewer free rides for post graduate students.

5. students heading overseas to study

Hmm…practical ability versus a higher education degree.

Which would you choose?
