In January this year, the Ministry of Education issued the "Opinions on the Pilot Reform of Enrollment of Basic Disciplines in Some Universities" (hereinafter referred to as "Opinions"), and decided to carry out the pilot reform of enrollment of basic disciplines in some universities from 2020, also known as "strong Basic plan ". At the same time, the Ministry of Education stated that the original method of independent enrollment of colleges and universities is no longer used.
Once the "strong foundation plan" was released, it received widespread attention. What kind of talents does this plan mainly want to recruit? Who can get the admission ticket of the "Strong Foundation Program" of colleges and universities?
According to the enrollment brochures of colleges and universities, the conditions for candidates to apply are such as excellent comprehensive quality, excellent college entrance examination results or outstanding disciplines and performance in related subject areas.
According to previous documents issued by the Ministry of Education, the "Strong Foundation Program" mainly selects students who are interested in serving the country's major strategic needs and have excellent comprehensive qualities or top-notch basic subjects.

The college entrance examination score accounts for 85%, after the college entrance examination
For the students and parents of Guangxi University, the most important thing is to be selected into the "Strong Foundation Program", what requirements need to be met? How to apply for and assess which subjects?
According to the Ministry of Education, the "Strong Foundation Program" is to explore the establishment of an enrollment model based on a unified multi-dimension examination and evaluation of students. That is to say, candidates need to go through two levels: first to take the college entrance examination, and then to take the comprehensive school examination set by the college. The comprehensive school test is generally divided into three parts: a written test, an interview, and a physical test. Some colleges only have an interview and a physical test.
The inclusion of physical examinations in the assessment of school tests is a major feature of the "Strong Foundation Program". However, many colleges and universities, including Harbin Institute of Technology, said that physical examination results are not included in the school test scores, but they will not be accepted if they fail.
Judging from the requirements of the Ministry of Education and the enrollment brochures of various schools, the comprehensive scores that determine the final admission results of the candidates are composed of the college entrance examination results and the school test results, of which the college entrance examination results account for 85% and the school test results account for 15%.
According to the Ministry of Education, the results of the college entrance examination will play two important roles in the admission of the "Strong Foundation Program": First, it will serve as a condition for the final college entrance examination. The "Strong Foundation Program" cancels the practice of competition certificates, papers, patents, etc. as the qualifications for short-listed colleges and universities, based on students' college entrance examination results.
The second is as an important basis for admission. The "Strong Foundation Program" changes the original "lower score admission" approach for independent admissions. Colleges and universities convert the candidates' college entrance examination results, college comprehensive assessment results, and comprehensive quality evaluations into comprehensive grades, which are admitted in order from high to low, reflecting a greater impact on students. Comprehensive evaluation.
In addition, for interviews, most colleges and universities emphasize "double random" lottery, "double blind", and will record the entire process. The “Strong Foundation Plan” has also been included in the scope of inspection and supervision work, and a dynamic entry and exit mechanism has been established. Regarding violations of regulations and disciplines, they shall be dealt with in strict accordance with relevant regulations.

Regarding the future employment of students, Tsinghua University said that for students admitted through the "Strong Foundation Program", the school will strengthen employment education and guidance, and actively provide high-quality reserve talents for major national strategic areas.
However, entering the "strong foundation plan" does not mean "forever." In order to ensure the quality of students' learning, many colleges and universities have made it clear that the "strong foundation plan will implement a staged assessment and dynamic access mechanism."
Tianjin University establishes a comprehensive three-dimensional growth file for each student, a multi-stage dynamic entry and exit mechanism, a follow-up investigation mechanism for students and graduates, and provides students with a comprehensive learning file and ability list based on quality monitoring and feedback information. Describe the characteristics, strengths and abilities of students to help each student grow in life.
Shandong University will conduct three assessments and shunts at the end of the third year, the fourth year, and the end of the fifth year after the student enters the school.
