C A sixth of undergraduates in Beijing this year have registered at driving school . The students , mostly from majors such as business management or international trade , will finish their driving courses within 20 days or so . Training costs have dropped to 2,600 yuan for students , according to the Haidian Driving School in Beijing . The price is not really low , but students will accept it , seeing it as an investment (投資) in their future . Familiarity with the operation of computers and fluent English are the basic skills graduating students need to find a job . But a driver’s permit has become another factor (因素). “In the job market , owning a driver’s permit sometimes strengthens a graduating student’s competitiveness for a good position,” says Zhou Yang , an undergraduate at the China University of Political Science and Law . Cars will become a necessary part of many people’s lives in the coming years , and it is difficult to get a permit of campus because of the pressures on working people’s time . “Having a fulltime job after graduation offers limited time to learn to drive . We senior students have plenty of spare time , plenty of opportunity to learn .” Zhou says . Xu Jian , an official at the driving school , said undergraduates were very able and serious , and could grasp in an hour what ordinary people took four hours to learn . In this driving school , middle –aged people , young women and college students are the main customers . To get a driver’s permit , a beginner is now required to have at least 86 hours’ practice before the final road test .
