The student who desires to go to university in China has a rewarding journey. The choice of where to go to school for most students is determined¹ by the student’s success in the College Entrance Exams, so students are willing to work hard. The choice of what constitutes² a good school in China has also changed. With the development of education in such large and developed cities as Beijing, Shanghai, and a few other cities, the universities in other regions and cities of China have lagged behind. This can be seen through the teaching quality, as well as the level of study research and research papers. These universities in developed areas are also able to have international communication with other famous universities based on the quality of the education they provide. The choice of a university in one of these cities seems to be one that would offer proven success to the student. This is not the case, however, as many college graduates have learned after successfully completing their studies. Theory is the basis for many of the universities’ education. This way, it does not provide the student with a practical knowledge of his or her chosen field. The expansion of courses in many areas at university has given students a general knowledge, but few skills which are applicable in the workplace. The rise of vocational³ schools in China has appeared to address this concern of many employers.

在中国，立志要上大学的学生都会有一段能让他们受益匪浅的经历。对于大部分学生来说，到哪上学取决于高考的成绩，因此学生很乐意努力学习。在中国，构成好大学的要素也已经改变了。随着北京、上海和其他几个大型发达城市教育的发展，中国其他城市和地区的大学教育却落后了。这集中体现在教学水平和研究论文水平的差异上。发达地区的大学由于能够提供高质量的教育而可以与世界其他知名大学进行国际交流。选择这些城市中的一所大学似乎意味着学生将拥有一个既定的成功未来。然而，很多已经成功地完成学业的毕业生可以说明，事实并非如此。对于许多大学来说，理论教育是基础。在这种情况下，大学教育并没有为学生提供其所选领域的实用知识。大学里涉及众多领域的大量课程交给了学生宽泛的知识，却很少交给他们可以实际用于工作中的技能。中国职业学校的兴起反映了很多用人单位的这种忧虑。
