An increase in students applying to study economics at university is being attributed to (归因于)the global economic crisis awakening a public thirst for knowledge about how the financial system works.
Applications for degree courses beginning this autumn were up by 15% this January, according to UCAS, the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service. A spokesman for the Royal Economic Society said applications to do economics at A-level were also up.
Professor john Beath, the president of the society and a leading lecturer at St Andrews University, said his first-year lectures-which are open to students from all departments-were drawing crowds of 400, rather than the usual 250.
“There are a large number of students who are not economics majors, who would like to learn something about it. One of the things I have done this year is to relate my teaching to contemporary events in a way that one hasn’t traditionally done.” He said.
University applications rose 7% last year, but there were rises above average in several subjects. Nursing saw a 15% jump, with people’s renewed interest in careers in the pubic sector(部门), which are seen as more secure in economic crisis.
A recent study showed almost two thirds of parents believed schools should do more to teach pupils about financial matters, and almost half said their children had asked them what was going on, although a minority of parents felt they did not understand it themselves well enough to explain.
Zack Hocking, the head of Child Trust Funds, said: “It’s possible that one good thing to arise from the downturn will be a generation that’s financially wiser and better equipped to manage their money through times of economic uncertainty.”
越来越多的学生在报考大学时选修经济专业的原因在于:全球经济危机唤起了公众对金融系统运作知识的渴望.
据大专院校招生委员会统计,今年秋开始的学位课程申请人数比一月增加了15%.皇家经济协会的一位发言人说:申请经济A级考试的人数也增多了.
该协会会长同时也是圣安德鲁大学的主讲师,约翰·比斯教授说:第一年的演讲(对所有学生开放的)吸引了400人,而往常只有250人.
他说:“有很多非经济专业的学生想要学习一些关于经济的知识.我今年做的一件事就是把教学与时事相结合,在这之前都不曾这样做.”
去年,大学申请人数增加了7%,但是在一些学科上增加的人数超出了平均数.护理专业增加了15%.大众再次关注政府部门的职位,似乎在经济危机时期在政府部门工作会更有保障.
最近一项研究表明:几乎三分之二父母认为学校应该更多地教授小学生一些金融相关的知识;几乎半数的父母说 他们的孩子曾问什么能持续;尽管少数父母觉得他们自己也不是特别懂经济的知识,所以也就无法回答孩子的问题.
扎克·霍金是儿童信托基金的总裁.他说:“也许在低迷时期出现的一件好事是下一代在经济不稳定的时期能更明智地、更好地管理他们的财务.”
