History

White reports that during its early years the university functioned "simply [to] keep [] unemployed workers busy," and its diplomas were only "equal in status to those of a two-year college." By the mid-1960s the university had enrolled over 50,000 students but graduated only 12,000.White, Lynn. "Careers in Shanghai". University of California Press, 1978. pp. 31-33, cited in Irving Epstein, [http://www.jstor.org/view/00104086/ap040077/04a00100/0 "Educational Television in the People's Republic of China: Some Preliminary Observations,"] "Comparative Education Review", Vol. 26, No. 2. June 1982, pp. 286-291.] Epstein regards this dysfunction as a typical example of policies in Chinese urban areas in the 1960s which "attempted to placate immediate political demands" but "proved to be counterproductive to long-term educational aims."Epstein, Irving. [http://www.jstor.org/view/00104086/ap040077/04a00100/0 "Educational Television in the People's Republic of China: Some Preliminary Observations,"] "Comparative Education Review", Vol. 26, No. 2. June 1982, pp. 286-291.]

According to the Xinhua General Overseas News Service, from 1991 to 1993 the university added eight economic courses to its curriculum including industrial and commercial business management, auditing, and finance."Television University Booming."
