I watched Er Chuang’s short video, and everything went numb!

[Getting into a good university in Korea is more important than Master Ma and a young man named Ding combined. ]

[First of all, Korea’s higher education resources are very scarce and the competition is very fierce. ]

[Korea has three top universities, known as the SKY group, namely Seoul University, Korea University and Yonsei University, with an average admission rate of 2%. It is not so easy to get in. ]

[Secondly, the path of a Korean political elite is actually determined from the moment he enters university~. ]

[There are more than 300 members of parliament in Korea, 80 of whom graduated from Seoul University, and 70 graduated from Korea University and Yonsei University. In other words, about half of the members of parliament are from these three famous schools. ]

[This situation where the political elite is determined by the academic clique is very obvious. ]

……

“These three universities are so powerful in Korea!”

Many ancient people in all dynasties were surprised.

Through the previous videos, they already knew that congressmen have a high political status in Korea and have a great influence on national affairs.

And half of these people are from these three universities, which shows how powerful these three universities are.

Ordinary people may just feel shocked.

But for some emperors who are ancient political elites, they think of more.

For example, is this situation due to the grouping of the three universities?

……

【Finally, the school also determines the growth direction of business elites. 】

【Korea is a place where the working culture prevails. 】

【In Korea, which universities to study in and which companies to enter are all marked. 】

【Japanese and Korean cultures have this tradition of supporting younger students. 】

【After entering the society, graduates from prestigious universities will give priority to their juniors from their alma mater during campus recruitment. After all, there are limited recruitment opportunities for large companies every year, so they can build a moat for scarce positions in society in terms of diplomas. 】

【After entering the workplace, it is also natural for seniors to promote their juniors. 】

……

The plane of Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

In his eyes, this is actually a way of forming a clique for personal gain.

As an emperor, he instinctively dislikes this kind of thing.

But at the same time, he is also very clear that this kind of thing cannot be completely eliminated.

Just like in the courts of all dynasties, there are more or less cases of hometown parties and schoolmate parties.

Many officials like to promote officials from the same hometown or schoolmate.

"It's human nature."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed in his heart.

……

[So, although South Korea has one of the highest university penetration rates in the world, strictly speaking, only graduates of the SKY group have a bright future. ]

[We often watch South Korean movies, and there are repeated descriptions ofThe continuous and increasingly challenging process of taking the entrance exam. 】

【However, this kind of plot where you can get in by your own efforts, accompanied by sentimental music, and the bright smile of the protagonist after success, can only appear in movies. 】

【In reality, the aristocratic families composed of academic and chaebol families will take more than 80% of the admission quotas of the SKY group Seoul University, Yonsei University, and Korea University. 】

【Of the 2% admission rate, only 20% is left for ordinary people to fight for. 】

【Not only that, the Korean "JoongAng Ilbo" once published a survey data, from 1990 to 2010, the proportion of college graduates from poor backgrounds dropped sharply from 13.4% to 5.8%. 】

The bullet screen flew out:

"It's hard for poor families to produce noble sons!"

"Alas, it's too hard for students from poor families."

"..."

Many poor students in the past dynasties looked at the giant screen in the sky and agreed with the words in the bullet screen.

They have a deep understanding of the difficulties of poor students in studying.

The plane of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty.

Behind Zhu Di.

The then Minister of Revenue Xia Yuanji sighed in his heart:

"In the morning, he was a farmer, and in the evening, he was in the emperor's hall. It's not said that poor families can produce generals and ministers. This sentence of the predecessors is very easy to say, but in fact, it's too difficult for poor families to produce generals and ministers."

……

[And the way these academic and chaebol families take the admission quotas of famous schools is to rely on various bonus projects, including the model of publishing papers in junior high school and high school. 】

[For example, the daughter of the Minister of Justice of South Korea, who interned at a medical school for two weeks when she was in high school, became the first author of a pathology paper and was admitted to Korea University. 】

[On the other hand, for students from ordinary families, the popular saying is "four pass and five fail". Candidates who sleep four hours a day will be selected, that is, they will be admitted to the university they want to go to, and those who sleep five hours will fail. 】

……

The plane of Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.

Song Lian sighed in his heart.

Compared with the children of noble families, it is too difficult for poor children to gain fame.

At the beginning, because of his poor family, he had no books at home, so he could only borrow books from other people's homes to read. In order to return them on time, he often copied books until late at night in the cold winter, even when his hands and feet were cracked and the inkstone was frozen, he refused to stop.

But born in poverty, without the help of family background, how can he not work hard?

Poor children can still find a way out if they study hard, but if they don't study hard, then there is really no way out.

And in comparison.

Song Lian felt that the conditions that the so-called poor children in the Korean country on the giant screen had were good enough.

But on the other hand, if it is true as people in later generations said, those academic tycoons have occupied 80% of the places and only gave 20% to poor children, then it is too unfair and too much.

……

[This kind of internal competition has led to two popular products in the Korean college entrance examination. The first is cram schools, and the second isOne is repeating a grade. 】

[Family wealth exploited by private cram schools, youth squeezed, repeated repetitions, all for the sake of competing for the 20% left by the academic tycoons, for the sake of the formal and formal promotion channel. 】

[Every year in the Korean college entrance examination, you can see parents kowtow and pray outside the examination room, creating a unique examination support culture. Students from the lower grades of the same school will also kneel down and pray for the seniors who are repeating the exam on the same day. 】

[They think they are kneeling to the gods, but in fact, they are kneeling to the academic tycoons and capital. 】

[They think their children are taking the future with their youth, their bodies, and even with one of the highest suicide rates in the world, but in fact, they are fighting for the leftovers of the academic tycoons, the bones covered with dust on the ground, and the little oily rewards from the rich families when they are kind. 】

[Please appreciate the sadness here. 】

The comments flew out:

"Compared to feeling sad for the ordinary Korean candidates, I am more worried about the future of our own candidates."

"That's still too conservative. The power of the academic cliques is not limited to the college entrance examination."

"Our academic cliques should not have the ability to occupy 80% of the quotas for prestigious universities."

"Reply - Korean academic cliques are combined with chaebols, which is different."

"Reply - No matter how strong the combined power is, I still think that the data of occupying 80% is too outrageous. It is impossible to occupy so much."

"Reply - I think so too. How many children of chaebols and academic cliques are there? How can they occupy so many?"

"..."

Looking at the parents of Korean candidates who kowtowed and bowed outside the examination room on the giant screen, many ancient people from all dynasties sighed deeply.

The fact that the Korean academic cliques have occupied 80% of the places in advance is too cruel for these ordinary people.

……

[In the United States, academic cliques also exist, and their existence is as simple and crude as the diet in Europe and the United States. ]

[Compared with the Korean cliques' admission method of adding points by writing papers, the admission system of the famous schools in the United States has even greater loopholes, and it has been legalized. ]

[The president of the University of California, Berkeley once revealed that in an Ivy League university, students without any background have to compete for less than 40% of the total number of admissions. ]

[That is to say, more than 60% of the places have been reserved in advance. ]

[Next, let's take a look at several American academic cliques' skills in dividing up the places. ]

[The first is the donation that everyone likes to see. ]

[Take Harvard University as an example. If you donate $1 million to Harvard University, you can get membership in the Committee on University Resources (COUR). 】

【More than half of the SAT applications with full scores will be rejected by Harvard, but at least 336 children of 424 COUR members have been admitted by Harvard. 】

【The Dean of Admissions at Harvard University once wrote in an email:The group message inside stated that special consideration would be given to the descendants of those who donated a large amount of money. 】

[The so-called large donation is like a promise to fund a building. 】

[So the brutality of the Eagle Sauce people lies in using money to solve the problem directly. 】 (To read the violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

[The Korean country at least buys some papers, but the Eagle Sauce country does not even want a fig leaf, saving the opportunity for middlemen to make a profit. 】

…

The plane of Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said:

"It's ridiculous!"

In his mind, the university of later generations is almost equivalent to the Imperial College of the Ming Dynasty.

This is a place to cultivate talents for the country. How can you get in by spending money?

But what Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know was that the Ming Dynasty court in later generations openly started the business of selling the qualification to study in the Imperial College.

The first year of Jingtai in the Ming Dynasty.

In order to solve the problem of the court's lack of money, the then emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty launched a policy called "Those who pay grain and horses can enter the Imperial College to study."

What does it mean? It means that if you pay more grain to the country, you can get the opportunity to study in the Imperial College, and the price is about 800 stone of rice.

……

[In addition to paying money, there is also naked nepotism, which is known as the womb strategy in the education industry. ]

[A study on admission applications to 30 universities in the United States found that applicants who apply for schools where their parents attend have a success rate that is 7 times that of ordinary students. This is also an open secret in the United States. Most universities have a legacy admission policy that gives priority to the descendants of alumni. ]

[For example, Stanford University, which has an average admission rate of only 5%, has an admission rate of 16% when it encounters legacy admission, more than three times higher. ]

[This has led to the fact that the academic cliques actually maintain the inheritance of the so-called elite families in the United States, and education has become a tool to strengthen class solidification. 】

……

Many ancient people in the past dynasties did not find nepotism strange.

The Chinese nation attaches great importance to blood relations, so nepotism is not uncommon in the ancient dynasties of China.

……

[The last type is sports specialty students. ]

[In the bribery scandal of the university admissions in the United States that broke out in 2019, a large part of the operation was sports specialty students. ]

[For example, a big boss of a listed company spent more than 40 million yuan to get his daughter into Stanford. He relied on bribing the head coach of the Stanford University sailing team and let the little princess who could not sail a sailboat enter as a sailing athlete. 】

[As long as you have money and power, you can do aerobics in the United States and get into Qinghua. Oh no, slip of the tongue, you can use props bought on Amazon to pose for a photo of yourself playing water polo and become a water polo student, or find someone to PS your head onto an athlete and become a pole vault student. 】

……

“Is it possible?”

The ancients of all dynastiesfor shock.

They think that the methods used by these universities in the Eagle Country to bend the law for personal gain are too outrageous.

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. []

Li Shimin felt very strange when he saw this.

These universities in the Eagle Country are so absurd, why doesn’t the Eagle Country government take action?

This is a major issue related to cultivating talents for the country.

They are all a group of students who have been bought in with money. How can they become the pillars of the country in the future?

In the long run, won’t this shake the foundation of the country?

Li Shimin shook his head and felt that if the Eagle Country government does not care about this matter, it will sooner or later be a disaster for the country.

……

[Some friends may ask, how can these big fools graduate after entering? ]

[When we were brainwashed by the official account before, we thought that Longguo University was strict in admission and easy out, and Eagle Country University was easy in admission and strict out. 】

【Let's take a look at the GPA inflation of the famous universities in the United States. According to statistics from The Economist, the average grade of Ivy League universities has gradually increased from B- in 1950 to B+ in 2012. Among them, Brown University, which has the most serious problem in the United States, has reached A-. 】

【At Harvard, most students can get A, so as long as they can get in, these second-generation children who are poor in academic performance can basically get a diploma from a famous university. 】

The barrage of comments:

"GPA inflation doesn't seem to be due to this reason, it's because of the exam."

"Reply - There are reasons for the exam, and there are also reasons for education to be more commercialized. In order to satisfy students, schools are more likely to give A grades."

"Reply - The rich in China prefer to send their children there, and it's easier to get a diploma from an Ivy League university."

"Reply - I heard that it's easier to get a bachelor's degree, but it's still difficult to get a higher master's degree and a higher doctoral degree."

"Reply - The second generation of the rich can just buy a bachelor's degree, and they're not really doing academic research."

"..."

The plane of Taizu of the Great Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked in confusion:

"Diploma? What is this?"

He was quite curious when he saw many people in later generations discussing this topic.

Zhu Biao guessed:

"It may be a title similar to the scholar and jinshi of our Ming Dynasty."

"For example, the doctor of later generations may be the jinshi of our Ming Dynasty."

"In that case, will the government of later generations grant official positions to those who obtain doctoral degrees?"

Zhu Yuanzhang had another question.

Zhu Biao could not answer this question, so he could only shake his head and say he didn't know.

……

[The result of this kind of American-style academic clique is that among the 38 famous American universities, the number of students from the top 1% of the income in the United States is more than the total number of students from the bottom 60% of the income in the United States. ]

[Ask where the channel is so clear, because there is a source of living water. ]

[The vitality of a society lies in the system that always allows those talented people to be heroesRegardless of one's birth, talented people can always find ways to shine, and people with potential can always get the right training and exercise. 】

[Our country's college entrance examination evolved from the imperial examination system that has been passed down for thousands of years. It is to break down the barriers built by the rich and powerful, and break the phenomenon of "there are no poor families in the upper class, and no clans in the lower class". 】

Barrage flew out:

"The modern college entrance examination is not closely related to the ancient imperial examination, right? It feels like they are not the same thing."

"Reply-From the perspective of selecting talents through examinations, it is okay to say that the modern college entrance examination evolved from the imperial examination system."

"Reply-Both are national selection mechanisms."

"Reply-The difference between the college entrance examination and the imperial examination is indeed quite large. The most essential difference is that the imperial examination system is an official selection examination, and its purpose is to select government officials, while the college entrance examination is to select high-ranking university students. ”

“Reply——Yes, success in the imperial examination means that the candidate will get an official position, and life will be different from now on, while success in the college entrance examination only means that the candidate will enter university to study. If you want to be an official, you have to get a diploma and then take the civil service examination. ”

“Reply——The civil service examination is too difficult. I have been taking the exam for two years and still haven’t passed. I am sad. ”

“Reply——There is no way. There are too many college students and too much competition. It feels like hell.”

“…”

The plane of Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao suddenly realized.

It turned out that they had thought wrong just now.

The doctors in later generations are not the Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty.

In the later Dragon Kingdom, getting a diploma does not directly make you an official. You have to take another so-called civil service examination.
