Why can't part-time graduate students be included in the talent subsidy policy?

Recently, Qingdao City, Shandong Province, Xiamen City, Fujian Province, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province and other places responded to this.

For example, Qingdao responded that "there are differences in the talent introduction policies and safeguard measures implemented by various cities according to the actual needs of regional development, and the state has no unified regulations and requirements for this."

Shijiazhuang said: "The talent introduction and subsidy policy is formulated in combination with the city's economic and social development, the actual construction of the talent team and the needs of employers. It has differentiated characteristics and certain particularities."

  In recent years, in line with the reform trend of postgraduate admissions, colleges and universities have expanded the number of part-time postgraduate admissions.

Although full-time postgraduates and part-time postgraduates are only different in their learning methods, they are trained according to the same quality standards and managed by a unified degree certificate. The degree certificate has the same legal status and the same effect.

However, in the job market, part-time postgraduates have repeatedly encountered unequal treatment, and some employers directly exclude part-time postgraduates from the qualifications.

To this end, in December 2019, the Ministry of Education and other five ministries and commissions made it clear in the "Notice on Further Doing a Good Job in the Employment of Part-time Graduate Students" that employers should provide equal employment opportunities for two types of graduate students, and must not set up any employment opportunities unrelated to job requirements. Eligibility requirements.

  With the introduction of the document and the deepening of the society's understanding of part-time postgraduates, various regions have successively cleaned up restrictions on part-time postgraduates in terms of recruitment, recruitment and settlement.

However, according to the feedback from netizens, some unequal treatment still exists, and part-time graduate students cannot enjoy the local talent subsidy policy, which is a relatively typical problem.

Judging from the responses, all regions have emphasized the "speciality" of the talent subsidy policy, and "the state has no unified regulations and requirements for this", but these explanations are objective and realistic, but they tend to give people the feeling of academic discrimination.

  This year, the number of college graduates exceeded the 10 million mark for the first time, hitting a record high. With the impact of repeated epidemics, the employment situation is extremely complex and severe.

In this context, a fair employment environment that can guarantee workers' equal employment rights is particularly important.

This year's "Government Work Report" mentioned that it is necessary to resolutely prevent and correct employment discrimination. This is also the first time that "employment discrimination" has been included in the "Government Work Report". The revised "Government Work Report" also added education discrimination. The revision is obviously aimed at the widespread employment discrimination such as education discrimination and college discrimination.

  The difference between full-time postgraduates and part-time postgraduates is only in the way of study, the latter is not inferior, and differences in the actual needs of regional development are not reasons to exclude them from the preferential policies.

  Recently, many places have stepped up the introduction of highly educated talents, and various preferential policies are enviable.

Coupled with the severe employment situation, it is more and more common for famous universities and doctors to "sink" into county towns that tended to be employed in big cities in the past.

However, some recruitments exclude non-"double first-class" college graduates from the beginning, or "systematically eliminate" non-famous college students in the actual screening process, although there is no explicit regulation.

This trend of introduction inevitably makes people worry that it will further aggravate the phenomenon of "only academic qualifications" and "only prestigious schools".

  The experience of part-time postgraduates and the phenomenon of academic discrimination in talent recruitment and talent introduction in some places are not only due to the prejudice against part-time learning methods, but also related to the narrow view of talents in some places. Graduates with high academic qualifications and prestigious schools are regarded as political achievements.

This one-sided emphasis on the selection and employment orientation of graduate schools and educational levels has damaged the equal employment rights of graduates and deviates from the direction of education evaluation reform.
