The Conversion from Individual Thinking to Community Thinking:The Educational Response to the"Depreciation of Diplomas"in the Post-popularization Era of Higher Education
The number of college-educated individuals in society has significantly increased due to the popularization of higher education.However,this also means that the value of a university diploma has depreciated for individuals.Is the trade-off relationship between these two factors inevitable?Resolving this contradiction requires us to adopt a completely new perspective.The post-popularization era de-mands a rethinking of higher education,optimizing its structure,enriching the understanding of knowl-edge,fostering a sense of mutual assistance and cooperation among individuals,highlighting the public benefit nature of higher education,comprehensively enhancing its connotation,and achieving the over-all goal of common prosperity and social harmony in the country.
