2011年7月15日,一则前体操世界冠军张尚武街头“卖艺”的报道让人们对退役运动员如何谋生的话题引发关注。其实张尚武事件并非特例,对于大多数体校毕业生来说,学历低、缺乏一定的文化知识与技术技能,相较其他中专学生在就业方面更加缺乏竞争力。在当前就业形势严峻的大环境下,体校生毕业后往往出路窄甚至没有出路。因此,在目前的情况下,体校毕业生较好的一个选择是进入高等院校学习,提升自己的知识与技能,从而在文化学习方面找到未来的出路。 July 15, 2011, Zhang Shangwu, a former world champion in gymnastics, was reported on the street for “selling art” and got people’s attention on how retired athletes make a living. In fact, the case of Zhang Shangwu is not a special case. For most of the graduates in the physical education schools, they have a low level of education and lack certain cultural knowledge and technical skills. They are still less competitive in terms of employment than other secondary school graduates. Under the current harsh environment for employment, students often lose their way after graduation. Therefore, in the current circumstances, one of the better choices for PE graduates is to enter institutions of higher learning to upgrade their knowledge and skills so as to find a way out for cultural studies.
