The Paper Journalist noticed that on April 17 this year, some netizens left a message on the message board of the People’s Daily Online and asked: “I am a part-time graduate student recruited in 2017. I am expected to graduate in July this year and be admitted to the non-participating public in 2017. Working in a public institution, after I get my graduate degree, can the organization department and the human resources department recognize my graduate degree?"
The Henan Provincial Department of Education replied on May 26 that: In 2016, the General Office of the Ministry of Education issued the "Notice on Coordinating the Management of Full-time and Part-time Postgraduates" (Teaching Research Department [2016] No. 2), clarifying that from 2017 , Full-time and part-time graduate students are enrolled in a unified state by the state, the same policies and standards are implemented for examination and enrollment, the quality of training adheres to the same requirements, and the academic degree certificate has the same legal status and the same effect.

Three months later, it was also in Henan. On July 17 this year, a netizen left a message to the leaders of Shangqiu City, saying, “I am a part-time graduate student of general higher education after the 2017 reform. I have a graduation certificate and a degree. In 2020, the five national departments issued the "Notice on Further Doing a Good Job in the Employment of Part-time Postgraduates", which clearly pointed out that full-time postgraduates and part-time postgraduates have the same legal status and effect, but we see that we are both in the introduction of talents in previous years. Full-time graduate students, I hope that this year's talent introduction in our city can incorporate our unified recruitment of part-time graduate students into the talent introduction, and give us an opportunity to return home."
In response, Shangqiu Municipal Party Committee Supervisory Office No. 2 replied to the netizen on August 26: “Regarding the relevant policies for full-time and part-time graduate students. In December 2019, in the “Notice on Further Doing a Good Job in Part-time Graduate Employment 》(Teaching and Research Office Letter [2019] No. 1) document has been clearly stipulated, and has been gradually implemented in the recruitment of civil servants and public recruitment activities of enterprises and institutions.

"
The above-mentioned Shangqiu netizen once again left a message on the 28th, “Since the recruitment of ordinary civil servants and public institutions can implement the national policy, then our Shangqiu City’s talent introduction policy, as a unified recruitment of part-time graduate students, can sign up, because I see our city In addition, the introduction of high-level talents from public institutions in various districts and counties in previous years all required full-time graduate students, and the recent recruitment of Shangqiu Central Hospital still requires full-time graduate students.

All localities should reasonably formulate the conditions for the registration of talents, streamline the registration certificates, simplify the procedures, and provide equal opportunities for the registration of graduate students with different forms of education.
What is the controversial part-time graduate student?
"China News Weekly" WeChat public account published an article in October last year to explain: What is a part-time graduate student? It is a graduate student who is engaged in other professions or social practice within the basic length of study or the length of study prescribed by the school, and adopts a variety of methods and flexible schedules for non-full-time study.
The article believes that, therefore, part-time postgraduates are more suitable for in-service personnel. Such people have fixed jobs and more of them need a higher degree of education to promote their careers more smoothly. Conversely, if you are a fresh graduate, you should weigh it, and if you are still transferring from a full-time system, you must be careful. If you carefully read the 2020 master enrollment guides of some universities, you can find that compared with 2018 and 2019, the latest guide adds "In principle, our school recruits part-time graduate students for on-the-job targeted employment."
Part-time graduate students are different from previous on-the-job graduate students, and they are new things developed in recent years. In 2016, the Ministry of Education issued the "Notice on Coordinating the Management of Full-time and Part-time Postgraduates". Starting from December 1, 2016, postgraduates will be officially divided into full-time and part-time forms.
With the formal implementation of the part-time system reform, starting from 2017, full-time and part-time postgraduates have begun to enroll students in a unified manner, and they must pass the unified national postgraduate entrance examination.
Part-time postgraduates have complete dual certificates. The only difference is that the study method on the graduation certificate indicates "part-time". According to national policy, the indication of "part-time" is only to distinguish the two learning methods, and the academic degree certificate has the same legal status and the same effect.
At present, Jinan University, Guangzhou University, South China Normal University, Shandong University and many other colleges and universities have clearly stipulated that part-time postgraduates are only recruited in specific categories in their admissions guidelines. The National Regulations on the Management of Postgraduate Admissions issued by the Ministry of Education also expressly stipulates that: “postgraduates with targeted employment shall be employed in accordance with targeted contracts; postgraduates with non-targeted employment shall be employed in accordance with the two-way choice between the individual and the employer.
