Don't think that after being selected, you will have a higher identity and grade. On February 14, the website of the Ministry of Education announced the second round of "double first-class" construction of universities and disciplines. The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Education said that the "double first-class" focuses on "construction", which is based on disciplines, rather than artificially delimiting identity and level, distributing "hats", and not dividing "369" in Chinese colleges and universities. No longer distinguish between first-class university construction universities and first-class discipline construction universities, and 16 first round construction disciplines have been publicly warned because the construction results have not fully met the expectations and are relatively backward compared with similar disciplines in terms of overall development level, sustainable development ability and growth improvement, These are the two highlights of the second round of "double first-class" construction information released by the Ministry of education. This reflects the distinct attitude of weakening the identity of "double first-class" universities and disciplines and maintaining the balance of educational resources. It not only promotes the focused construction of selected universities, but also guides the society to change its view of "double first-class" construction. Instead of taking "double first-class" as the identity label of the school, it pays attention to the specific construction results, school running quality and characteristics of the school. Source: visual China As the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Education said, from the first round of construction, some construction universities do not have a good understanding of adhering to characteristic development and differentiated development in the "double first-class" construction. They still pursue "first-class university construction university" and "first-class discipline construction university" as their identity and level, and there is an impulse to expand the scale and pursue upgrading. The public and employers regard "double first-class" as the new identity of the school. Many candidates regard going to "double first-class" colleges and universities as the goal of further study. Some employers clearly put forward that non "double first-class" college graduates will not be enrolled. This obviously deviates from the original intention of "double first-class" construction. On the one hand, some colleges and universities pay more attention to the shortlisted than the construction, which directly affects the construction effect. On the other hand, they do not drive the overall higher education to improve the quality, but there are new problems of dividing colleges and universities into three, six, nine and so on. Whether it is to improve the effectiveness of the "double first-class" construction, promote the reform of breaking the "five only", and break the unscientific education evaluation system of only famous schools and hats, we need to adjust the thinking of the "double first-class" construction. The adjustment of the "double first-class" construction list has always been concerned by public opinion. Previously, it was predicted that some universities are expected to enter the "first-class university" to build class A, which is actually the idea of strengthening the "double first-class" identity. The "double first-class" construction is divided into first-class university construction and first-class discipline construction. The first-class university construction can be easily understood as the identity of the school. Originally, "first-class university" built class A and class B, but the construction tasks are different, but it is considered that class A is higher than class B. Without distinguishing between first-class university construction universities and first-class discipline construction universities, the identity color of "first-class university" will fade. This is conducive to the focus of school construction. Building a first-class university based on disciplines is more in line with the law of building a first-class university. If the construction of several disciplines in a university reaches the world-class level, the university will also become a recognized world-class university. Focusing on discipline construction, it is required to implement and expand the school running autonomy of the University. The construction university should combine the school running orientation, school running conditions and social needs, refine the discipline characteristics, and improve the talent training quality and academic research level of the discipline. At present, since the "double first-class" construction no longer distinguishes between the construction of first-class universities and the construction of first-class disciplines, the strong foundation plan carried out by the pilot of "first-class universities" to build 36 colleges and universities in class A from 2020 will be expanded to more colleges and universities and basic disciplines, which will undoubtedly increase the strength of the strong foundation plan to cultivate top-notch talents in basic disciplines. In addition, the first round of 16 construction disciplines will be given public warnings and required to strengthen rectification. They will be re evaluated in 2023. If they fail to pass at that time, they will be transferred out of the construction scope. Therefore, the selected colleges and universities should not think that they will have a higher identity and grade after being selected. If they fail to carry out the construction and complete the construction task, they will be adjusted out. This is an indispensable elimination mechanism and restraint mechanism to promote the construction of colleges and universities, so that the construction of colleges and universities and disciplines realize that the shortlist is not only an honor, but also a responsibility.
