Rising College Selectivity
Rising college selectivity doesn’t mean that students are smarter and more serious than in the past. It’s a function of excess demand for higher education, occurring at a time of increased financial privatization of the industry.
The recession has only increased demand. The vast majority of students aren’t going to college because of a thirst for knowledge. They’re there because they need a job, and they need to get the credentials and one hopes, the knowledge and skills behind the credentials—that will get them into the labor market.
As higher education has become a seller’s market, the institutions in a position to do so are doing what comes naturally: raising their tuitions and their admissions requirements, but at the expense of contributing to the national goal to increase college attainment. The result is that the United States is losing ground in the international race for educational talent.
The increasing stratification of higher education is happening on the spending side, as well. As the selective institutions have become more expensive and less attainable, the rest have had to struggle with the responsibility to enroll more students without being paid to do so. Gaps between rich and poor have grown even more dramatically than gaps in entering test scores. While spending is a poor measure of educational quality, we can’t seriously expect to increase educational attainment if we’re not prepared to do something to address these growing inequities in funding.
That said, the educational policy problem in our country is not that the elite institutions are becoming more selective. The problem is on the public policy side. The president and many governors have set a goal to return America to a position of international leadership in educational attainment.
It’s the right goal, we just need a financing strategy to get there. That doesn’t mean just more money, although some more money will be needed. It also means better attention to effectiveness and educational attainment. We know how to do it, if we want to.
According to most students, what is the most essential condition that enables them to get into the labor market?( )
选项
A、Diplomas.
B、Being employed.
C、Going to college.
D、Knowledge and skills.
答案
A
解析
本题是细节考查题。题目是:根据大部分学生的看法,什么是他们进入劳动力市场的必需条件?选A的依据依旧是第二段最后一句:“They’re there because they need a job,and they need to get the cre—dentials(证书)and one hopes,the knowledge and skills behind the cre—dentials--that will get them into the labor market.”他们(绝大部分学生)为了拿到那张毕业证书,最多再学一点需要的知识和技能,因为这张证书将会是他们找工作的敲门砖。选项A的意思是学位证书,与原文意思相符。
