Study at colleges/universities ? Aren't you kidding ?

Nowadays, more and more students have passed the NMET which allows people to receive higher education due to the enlargement of enrolment of the colleges and universities. This ought to have been an agreeable phenomenon. However, most people have found and admitted that after the enlargement, the quality of students nowadays are far poorer than students in the past.

How does this come about ?

One major cause is most people go to colleges or universities just for the sake of finding a good job and earning a lot of money. If going to colleges or universities will make them poorer, then who else will do that ? Moreover , most companies only need vocational school students or training school students, but they just engage people with bachelor's degree, master's degree or even doctor' s degree. It appears that most people have forgetten or even never know the real aim of higher education.

The real aim of higher education should be and have been to educate people to probe, to query, to skepticize, and to think freely and independently. Unfortunately and grievedly , rarely can we see this spirit appeared on nearly all of the students today , as well as many teachers. What they only concern is either money or power. This can readily explain why academic corruptions are becoming more and more normal.

The other major cause is up to today, colleges or universities have gradually become detention centers. By this way , the governors can easily solve or avoid many social problems due to they are despotizing world's largest population. What a sustainable and harmonious solution!

A big library with soft music broadcast, wisps of sunshine, neat streets with not many pedestrians, no exams for useless certificates, no roll-calling——That's my dreaming college life.
