参考范文

As we all know, education is the foundation of a country’s development, and people’s educational level is an important sign to measure the quality of the population of a country. As can be seen from the chart, the gross enrolment ratio in higher education of our country is on the rise from 3.4% in 1990 to 51.6% in 2019.

There are two main factors accounting for this trend in higher education. Firstly, the increasing proportion of the population receiving higher education in China is the result of our country’s great attention to education and the continuous increase of investment in education. Secondly, the rapid growth of social demand for advanced professionals makes individuals be in urgent needs for receiving higher education, bringing about the rapid development of higher education.

Obviously, the higher education of our country is shifting from elitism to civilian education. We firmly believe that the higher the educational level of its citizens is, the more prosperous the economy and the stronger the country will be.

参考译文

众所周知，教育是一个国家发展的基础，而人民的受教育水平是衡量一个国家人口素质的重要标志。从图表中可以看出，我国高等教育毛入学率呈明显上升趋势，从1990年的3.4% 上升到2019年的51.6%。

有两个主要因素可以解释高等教育的这一趋势。首先，中国接受高等教育的人口比例不断上升源于我国对教育的高度重视和教育投入的不断增加。其次，社会对高级专业人才需求的快速增长，使个人接受高等教育的需求变得迫切，从而带来了高等教育的快速发展。

显然，我国的高等教育正从精英教育向平民教育转变。我们坚信，公民的教育水平越高，经济就会越繁荣，国家就会越强大。
