Ordinary undergraduate universities are gradually discontinuing enrollment - where should we go from college to undergraduate
2023-04-20
Recently, the Education Department of Hubei Province announced the 2023 general college to university enrollment brochure, and Wuhan Textile University and Wuhan Light Industry University have suspended college to university enrollment. What are the considerations for regular undergraduate universities to suspend enrollment and upgrade to higher education? Will it become a trend? Where should candidates with such needs go? Generally speaking, a "small college entrance examination" is a selective examination for qualified college graduates who have graduated from previous vocational colleges. The purpose of upgrading from college to undergraduate is to change one's educational background, "said Geng Hui (pseudonym), a candidate majoring in accounting at Jilin University of Commerce. Similar to college entrance examination students who are immersed in hard work and postgraduate entrance examination students who are burning the midnight oil, for vocational college students, upgrading from college to undergraduate is also a crucial obstacle in their academic journey. The college entrance examination has always been seen as a "small college entrance examination". Geng Hui stated that she once neglected learning, but now she has decided to 'do it again'. Starting from May 2022, Geng Hui will register at a specialized undergraduate training institution and will soon take the exam in April of this year. After more than 300 tired nights, Geng Hui did not miss online classes even if her body was feeling unwell. Currently, society and the market are placing increasing importance on the educational qualifications of talents, and the requirements are also increasing. A junior college student majoring in English education, Liu Xintong (pseudonym), mentioned that she plans to continue her studies in the English major and hopes to work as a translator or in related fields. Under this future plan, 'only undergraduate students have the opportunity to find good jobs. Education is the stepping stone, and compared to vocational colleges, undergraduate students at least have an interview opportunity.'. The announcement from Wuhan Light Industry University stated that the university will continue to strive to comprehensively improve the quality of talent cultivation, focus on building first-class undergraduate education, and make new contributions to high-quality service for the economic and social development of the country and region. In recent years, the reasons for the suspension of enrollment and the promotion of undergraduate programs in some universities have basically converged. In 2020, Tianjin University of Technology announced in a statement that, according to policy requirements, "Double First Class" universities will no longer carry out regular undergraduate enrollment. Subsequently, some regular undergraduate institutions also followed suit. Que Mingkun, a special researcher at the National Institute of Institutional Studies at Zhejiang University, admitted that universities that voluntarily suspend enrollment for undergraduate programs are generally research-oriented universities. The purpose of the suspension is to improve the quality of undergraduate education and the level of scientific and technological innovation, and no longer distract their efforts from the cultivation of undergraduate programs. This trend has long been on the horizon. In 2006, the Ministry of Education and the National Development and Reform Commission defined the strict enrollment plan, charging standards and selection and admission procedures, and reiterated this requirement in 2010, strictly controlling the enrollment scale within 5% of the current graduation of provincial higher vocational colleges (junior colleges)... In principle, colleges, independent colleges and private colleges that are the key construction of the "Project 985" and "211 Project" do not hold regular college to undergraduate education. In 2014, Hubei University mentioned that the teaching progress, training specifications, teaching content, and teaching methods of ordinary undergraduate students on campus were significantly different from the original mode of enrolling ordinary undergraduate students during the suspension of enrollment. In fact, some ordinary undergraduate colleges and universities offer specialized undergraduate programs, which makes it difficult to achieve targeted student training. "Que Mingkun introduced that generally speaking, specialized undergraduate students must be taught in separate classes, but the reality is that
