Based on the actual development of local industries, each province has sorted out 520 urgently needed majors and 223 majors with relatively low employment rates, providing important reference for optimizing the professional structure of local universities and promoting the matching of regional talent supply and demand. At the same time, the Ministry of Education has issued a revocation warning for majors that have been suspended for 5 years or more in universities, implemented a pre application system for majors, and promoted the establishment of a sound mechanism for regular and pre research on major settings, enhancing the foresight and accuracy of major settings.
