一、英文改编语段
Worsening educational inequality
aggravates the prevalent credential involution
among contemporary young job seekers.
Uneven high-quality educational resources
between urban and rural areas
create invisible gaps in students’ academic competitiveness.
Students from disadvantaged family backgrounds
lack premium tutoring resources and academic guidance,
making it harder for them to access prestigious top universities.
The soaring demand for academic diplomas
triggers severe credential inflation across all industries,
constantly raising the employment threshold for fresh graduates.
Most young undergraduates blindly pursue higher academic degrees
out of employment anxiety,
rather than improving their practical professional abilities.
This vicious cycle of educational competition
wastes massive youth resources
and hinders the balanced development of modern education.
