Experts want curriculum shake-up at
Chinese colleges - Xinhua News
China's new generation of
freshmen, born in the 1990s, were more open-minded than
their predecessors but less able to cope with
frustration, a survey has found.
The
survey covered 800 students at Wuhan University in
central China's Hubei Province, who entered in September
from all over the country. They answered questions on
consumption, psychology and social issues.
They
were found to be neither as selfish nor as difficult to
get along with as people generally believed to be,
according to the survey, released on Wednesday by the
China Youth Daily.
In
the survey, 77 percent said they were self-confident and
64.8 percent considered themselves open-minded and ready
to try new things.
However, 72.3 percent said frustrations would have a
negative impact on them.
Xiao
Yongping, dean of the law college of the university,
said the post-1990s students were more independent in
thinking and choosing than those born in the 1970s and
1980s. He said their childhood environment -- the
Internet age with abundant information -- had made them
precocious, self-confident and passionate.
