Overlooking the generation gap and educational problems in city families via their making choices before entering universities
Because of various social and individual factors, examinees/their parents often make mistakes when they chose the universities and the subjects. In order to understand and alter this problem, Institution of Higher Education of Nankai University carried out an investigation. The survey shows that the examinee and their parents are really lace of the information about universities especially about the subjects, and they could not get the correct instruction of making their choices. Comparing the answers between these two generations, we can see the generation gap is not so deep as people think, democracy and equality have became the mainstream in the relationship between parents and children. Moreover, children have more power of independence and decision than we have estimated before. Moral education, serving as the first responsibility of family education, has been ignored by lots of parents, which has direct influences on the shaping of children's concept of value.
