Over the same period, the rate of success on the joint entrance exams for universities and colleges jumped from only 30 % to 60 %. Even more surprising, last year graduate school programs received 60,000 applicants, which is equal to the number of people graduating from college that year! (Of course, many people applied to more than one program.)
更驚人的是，台灣去年有十二萬人報考研究所（包括重複報名者），而當屆的大學畢業生人數不過八萬多人！
