Interview with <strong>PKU</strong> Education<br />

Administrator: Students Should Make<br />

a Rational Education Plan<br />

As one <strong>of</strong> the most prestigious universities in China, <strong>PKU</strong> has educated many<br />

first-class talents and elites for our society. Nevertheless, some serious problems still<br />

exist behind the brilliant achievements, one <strong>of</strong> which is that every year a small<br />

number <strong>of</strong> undergraduates cannot receive the ―two diplomas‖ --- the academic<br />

degree diploma & the graduation diploma. Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Guan Haiting, <strong>PKU</strong> Education<br />

Administrator talked about the problem in an interview raised by <strong>PKU</strong> Student Affair<br />

Department recently.<br />

Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Guan said, a large proportion <strong>of</strong> students‘ deprivation <strong>of</strong> the ―two<br />

diplomas‖ was because <strong>of</strong> their disagreeable academic performance and cheat in<br />

exam and the following inescapable punishment, instead <strong>of</strong> the physical or<br />

psychological problems. In his opinion it resulted from their irrational and unscientific<br />

education plans.<br />

Guan ascribed the reasons <strong>of</strong> these students‘ failure to five factors: 1) Playing<br />

computer games. Some students are addicted to computer games day and night,<br />

which undoubtedly occupies most <strong>of</strong> their time and energy and makes them drowse<br />

in class. 2) Lacking independence. Those who were accustomed to the living service<br />

and study plan arranged by their parents get completely lost and paralyzed in the<br />

face <strong>of</strong> various choices on courses and time schedules provided by school. 3) Study<br />

incompetence <strong>of</strong> the students <strong>of</strong> specialty. Some students <strong>of</strong> specialty have great<br />

difficulty in their academic study due to their relatively weaker academic foundation<br />

in high school. 4) Psychological problem. The intensive study competition creates<br />

more potentiality <strong>of</strong> psychological problems. 5) Blindness <strong>of</strong> pursuing double major.<br />

Confronted with many double majors in our school, many students blindly bite <strong>of</strong>f<br />

more than they can chew by choosing too many courses, while ignoring their own<br />

major.<br />
