One of our expectations about education is that it will pay off in terms of upward mobility. Historically , the correlation between education and income has been strong. But in the early 1970s a contradiction developed between education and the economy.
Our value of education and our average educational attainment outstripped the capacity of the economy to absorb the graduates.
Since the 1970s, high-school graduates have experienced a striking decrease in earnings, making them the first generation since World War II to face a lower standard of living than their parents had.
Experts have argued that this contradiction is at the heart of the problem of public education today. Business leaders claim that the schools are failing to properly educate students, that they are turning out young people who are inadequately prepared to function in the workplace. The real problem is a dearth of economic opportunities for students who are not continuing on to college.
College graduates also are having difficulty finding jobs. Even when they do, the jobs may not be commensurate to their training and expectations. Part of the problem is that too many young Americans aspire to have professional jobs, making disappointment and frustration inevitable for some. Many students assumed that what was true of an individual—that the higher the education, the better the job opportunities—would also be true for an entire society. But when the numbers of better-educated young people became too great, the economy could no longer absorb them.
Another part of the problem is the assumption that greater educational attainment guarantees career advancement. In fact, employers do not routinely reward educational attainment; rather, they reward it only when they believe it will contribute to the employee’s productivity.
We should not overlook the fact that there is still a strong correlation between education, occupation , and income. College graduates have a strong advantage over those with less education. But the payoff is neither as large nor as certain as it once was.
Unfortunately, Americans have focused so strongly on the economic payoff that many consider their college education useless if it does not yield a desirable, well-paying job. Only in this sense can we speak of an "oversupply" of college graduates. We could argue that all or at least the majority of Americans would profit by some degree because higher education can enable the individual to think more deeply, explore more widely, and enjoy a greater range of experiences.
The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 means that______.
选项
A、Education will pay off in terms of upward mobility
B、People with high education will have immense opportunities
C、Educational institutions provide more graduates than needed
D、Many college graduates fail to meet the job requirements
答案
C
解析
句意理解题。文章划线的是“我们对教育的重视和平均受教育水平超过社会经济吸纳毕业生的能力水平。”对这句话的理解可以结合本段看,本段对教育与收入的关系进行了对比,教育以前能帮我们在工作中获得晋升,现在教育和经济之间产生了矛盾,教育出来的人才数量超出了社会经济所需要的人才数量。因此答案选[C]。
