| Postgraduate Enrollment Expands
 |
|
Students in Wuhan, Hubei Province enter the postgraduate exam. A total of 1.246 million students in the country take such exams. |
According to the 2009 postgraduate enrollment plan jointly issued by the Ministry of Education (MOE) and the National Development and Reform Commission, postgraduate student enrollment will be raised by 5 percent, or around 50,000 students. The enlarged enrollment is mainly aimed at final-year undergraduates who sat the national postgraduate entrance examination in January. Some analysts point out that although this plan will ease short-term pressure on the job market and help cultivate talent, postgraduates will potentially face an even more competitive job market once they finish their studies, as there will be larger numbers of highly qualified graduates looking for work. |
