China tells student there are no longer issuing bachelor degrees

[Texan77]

China gets rid of new student getting bachelor degrees including students who already in school and are completing their degrees. There is a worker shorter do to population reduction because of one child policy. Student protest as they are wanting professional jobs but no longer qualify because now they only get a trade degree.

This is something that happened several years ago. Well done for catching up.

Chinese Universities have not stopped issuing bachelors degrees. Somebody has been getting confused again.

This is nothing to do with the former One Child Policy. Simply that a very large proportion of Chinese students study to postgraduate level. There is no time saved because the premise of the false news is, well, false. It takes longer to study for a postgraduate degree than a bachelors and probably about the same time for a bright student to do two bachelors degrees as a masters.

A few years ago China tried a program where universities offered double bachelor programs. It was designed to complement higher level studies. As China's postgraduate program has progressed the dual bachelor scheme was ended in 2017. However, this does not stop students doing a double major or taking two bachelors degrees. Most certainly it does not stop students from studying for bachelor degrees.

Of course the problem for all students studying for a bachelors, just as in other countries, in comparison to a Master's Degree, the bachelor degree is a trade school degree. That difference becomes more noticeable in a society that values learning and where, for those with the ability, a Master's is attainable.

So, where does the outdated misinformation that Texas77 loves come from? And why?

[Texan77]

Whole bunch of videos dated June, 9 and 10, 2021. Numerous sources different countries. The second one was posted by students on twitter then copies to you tube. Apparently this in just one province and it is not all schools. For something that happened a long time ago the students seem pretty up set. The second video claimed it was happened on June 8 2021 on the You tube title page.

Hey Tex, I fixed the title for you.

Give me five bucks for every time I needed to fix your spelling and grammar and I would be making a lot of money.

Or you can stop being lazy and do it yourself. 



This looks like an interesting website about higher education in China.
