Influences of social strata on students’ recommended opportunities to higher education
By the theory of strata reproduction and the research method of rate of generation appearance, this article makes an empirical study on different recommended opportunities to key universities and hot specialities among students from different social strata. The result shows that students from such two superior social strata as cadre and intellectual gain much more recommended opportunities to key universities and hot specialities than those from farmer and worker families. Moreover, students from cadre family obviously obtain more such kind of opportunities than those from intellectual family, which means that the mechanism of cultural reproduction and the ownership of privileges decide the fate of the system of students’ recommendation together, and the countermeasure is to strict procedures of recommendation and raise standards of recommendation.
