It appears that over the years China has maximised efficiency in its education system by making excellent use of television and radio as fundamental sources of higher education. As early as the 1960's when television broadcasting had just began to develop television universities were beginning to form in Beijing and began to spread across China. The success of these methods of education became evident as thousands of students graduated from TVU's in particular the Beijing Television University.
Despite the apparent success of TVU'S many disadvantages of the popular system became exposed encouraging 'The Social Modernization Project' which was introduced in 1976. It seemed as though progression in admission to higher education institutes were clearly limited and fell lower than many countries globally. The amount of trained tradesmen and jobs of a more physical nature which are fundamental were few and far between. ''The number of qualified technicians and engineers accounted for only 2.5 per cent of the country's work-force in state-owned enterprises and institutes.''(Zhao Yuhi). The popular structure of furthering education by T.V and radio in the earlier years had discouraged development in many areas of work which evidently made China suffer greatly .
Since then China have kept their faith in these methods of education as they still remain highly beneficial in educating students in a shorter space of time at lower costs. In the late 1970's the Central Radio and Television University was introduced in Bejing encouraging the development of many more PTVU's . These mediums have now become much more diverse as the CRTVU has offered up to 150 different courses althoug difficulties still seem to arrise when using media in these forms as transmission times can be limited .
