Young Students Studying Abroad = cI\OsV&?
For a Chinese student, attending an overseas school can be a great opportunity to learn something. However, today some of these lucky individuals are losing sight of their main priority. @%@^5
An article from Worker’s Daily reveals that to cover one year’s stay in a British private middle school with on-campus housing and other living expenses, the parents who toil back at home have to set nearly 30,000 dollars aside for their children. $E~Lu$|
As a consequence of Mom’s and Dad’s liberal attitude, some Chinese students emerge as weekend-movie-goers, fancy-car-owners, and frequent travelers, all at the expense of their parents. The price tags of their clothes also raise westerners’ eyebrows. bQN4ozSi
Education experts have been worrying about the upshot for the "new nobles." Scant is what they learned from books, but the compulsion to spend will linger throughout the latter part of their lives. )RCqsFjK

College Enrollment Expansion v*]Xur6e}
China’s higher education system is organized by the government and its admissions process has been centrally operated. During the past decade, attitudes to higher education have changed, with people placing greater emphasis on attending college or university. ?

Many people believe that higher education is indispensable for fast-tracking their career development and securing a competitive salary. And as demand for higher education increases, the number of private-run colleges in the country has snowballed. Now a growing number of adult education institutes have also begun to offer further education to high school graduates. L2O57rT2
College enrollment expansion started in 1999. Before the expansion, only a small proportion of people between the ages of 18 and 22 could attend college. In 1998, fewer than 10 percent of students in this age category were accepted into further education. awW\$Q
“The enrollment rate for schools of higher learning now exceeds 13 per cent. The enrollment expansion has helped solved the problem of the relatively small-scale higher educational sector.” kuud0VWJ
To provide satisfactory study and living conditions for enlarged numbers of students, colleges have reformed their general service departments. Ay6rUN1ef
As government-run colleges expand, many private schools have also grown into large-scale higher learning institutions. There are now almost 1000 public universities in the country, and an even greater number of privately-run institutions. Many of them, including the Beijing Haidian University and the Xi’an Translation College in northwest China’s Shaanxi Province, have more than 10,000 students each. In some cases, students even choose private universities over public ones. This was considered impossible in the past. 5'Ay@FJ:
Apart from colleges and universities, which specialize in both scientific research and the training of highly skilled professionals, vocational education has also witnessed rapid development over the past few years. There are now nearly 400 vocational schools in China, training over 700,000 students for a variety of skilled jobs. RkV3_c
College enrollment rates in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai are among the highest in the country. But as enrollment has grown dramatically throughout the country over the past few years, other places are starting to catch up. 9C~GL,uKs
Their next step, according to some of the country’s most prestigious universities, such as Beijing University, is to improve their academic quality. This will allow Chinese universities to compete with the best in the world. )ZU#19vr7

Private Cars in Beijing p[VCt" j
Privately owned cars in large cities like Beijing are not only a headache for traffic congestion but also a vehicle for showing off, according to an article in China Youth News. ~4` ec
The article says a major factor in traffic congestion is that many people drive their cars to work. AX Jj"hN
In Japan’s capital Tokyo, which has similar population as Beijing, the majority of people travel to work by subway and tram, which ensures a punctual arrival at the office. But during the weekend, these people drive their cars out of the city to have a good time in the suburbs. 0H]9$D
The article says that snobbery worsens the traffic situation in Beijing. It calls for people to take public transport to work and take some measures to control the use of private cars in order to improve the traffic in Beijing.
