issue1 part3 Although giving students freedom to choose their own field of study seems humane, yet we shouldn’t ignore many problems caused by it. Admittedly, generally speaking, professors and consultants of educational institutions are more experienced and they can tell what kind of students will enjoy studying their own fields. If a student is likely to succeed in the field of study, he or she will usually gain more confidence and interest, which qualities are significant to get succeeded in academic work. Students are required to take the college entrance examinations in China. But after passing the exams, only a few know clearly who they are to be and what majors are suitable for them. Instead of their real interest, they choose their majors based on parents’ opinions or blindly choose those “hot” majors. However, the system of changing majors in universities in China is not so developed and accessible than that in the United States. If, at this time, educational institutions can provide them with some advises, there will be less complaints and less students who hate there majors so much in China. Meanwhile, students choosing the “hot” majors won’t get so troubled when they find little vacancy in the job market. Here I use the word advice instead of dissuade, which makes a big difference. To sum up, the role of educational institutions is to stimulate students’ potential rather than to decide their life paths. But the topic has its worth, for the speaker has inspired us to make some changes in our education system.
