【正确答案】正确答案： The prestigious universities enjoy the most government funding for education while the local ones are largely left to rely on market forces, which means that they have to take in more students in order to secure their revenue. This gradual increase in the gap will inevitably lead to deterioration of the quality of higher education in local colleges which suffer from a severe shortage of qualified and experienced teaching staff. To make matters worse, these colleges favored adding "soft" programs such as accounting, finance, public administration, international commerce, foreign languages, etc. These popular programs do not need too many resources thus providing an effective means for fast expansion. Graduates of these programs used to be welcomed into the job market. However, a serious imbalance between supply and demand has been created due to the increasing number of these graduates.
