The Fundamental Way to Correct One-sided Pursuit Lies in an Overall Elevation

Abstract

For many years there has been a clamor for overcoming the one-sided pursuit of a higher rate of promoting students to a higher level of education. Nonetheless, not only has the situation not been corrected, on the contrary, there appears to be a tendency that it is getting worse and becoming increasingly intense. Why is this so? From my humble and incomplete perspective, the principal reason for this is that our country is economically backward and our educational enterprise is not well-developed. I believe that the current rate of promotion is not too high; rather, it is too low. Only by enhancing and elevating the rate of promotion in an overall, comprehensive way can we radically correct the one-sided pursuit of a higher promotion rate; this is the principle of dialectics at work in the development of all things.
