Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 24th (Reporters Wei Hua and Wang Jingyu) The official website of the Ministry of Education issued the "Guiding Opinions on Further Improving and Regulating the Enrollment of High-Level Sports Teams in Colleges and Universities" (hereinafter referred to as the "Guiding Opinions") on the 24th. Relevant persons in charge of the Ministry of Education and the State Sports General Administration stated that the "Guiding Opinions" clearly stated that the orientation of the recruitment of high-level sports teams in colleges and universities is to select and train students with a high level of athletics and comprehensive development in morality, intelligence, physical education, and art. The World University Games and other major sports competitions and the national competitive sports reserve talent training system provide talent support.
The person in charge said that over the years, the construction of high-level sports teams in my country’s colleges and universities has achieved significant results, and has accumulated rich experience in exploring the combination of sports and education to train high-level athletes. There are some problems such as the low cultural performance and athletic level of individual students, the irregular organization of examinations in individual colleges and universities, the lax management of the school, and the fraudulent technical grade certificates of individual athletes in some places.
The person in charge stated for example that in terms of "examinations", the entry threshold for second-level athletes is low, which has led to the limited sports competition level of many colleges and universities, which cannot meet the needs of participating in international and domestic competitions; some colleges and universities organize high-level sports teams. Examination, examination methods and grading standards are different, and the assessment and management levels are uneven.
In terms of "enrollment", most colleges and universities have relatively low enrollment requirements for cultural courses for high-level sports teams, and there are no restrictions on majors during admission, which makes it difficult for some candidates to complete normal learning tasks after entering the school.
In terms of "management", some colleges and universities are not strict enough in the management of training, participation, and withdrawal. The competitive level of high-level sports teams is not high, and it is difficult to participate in high-level competitive competitions.
According to reports, the Ministry of Education and the State Sports General Administration have conducted in-depth investigations on the enrollment and related work of high-level sports teams in colleges and universities.
On the basis of in-depth research and demonstration, and extensive listening to opinions and suggestions, the "Guiding Opinions" was issued.
The "Guiding Opinions" clarified that the orientation of the recruitment of high-level sports teams in colleges and universities is to select and train students with comprehensive development of morality, intelligence, physical education, art, and labor, and with a high level of sports competition, for major sports competitions such as the Olympic Games and the World University Games and national competitive sports. The reserve talent training system provides talent support.
In addition, the "Guiding Opinions" put forward new requirements on the scope of enrollment items, the candidates' sports competition level, the candidates' cultural performance, and the examination evaluation methods.
According to reports, the "Guiding Opinions" clarified that relevant universities should focus on the positioning of high-level sports teams. Within the scope of the Olympic Games and the World University Games (including football, basketball, volleyball, etc.), according to the evaluation and determination of the Ministry of Education, combined with schools Actually, determine the sports team enrollment project and enrollment plan.
For colleges and universities that do not have the relevant teachers, equipment, venues, etc., and the student’s retiring rate exceeds 20% after entering the school, as well as non-Olympic or World University Games events, there are no athletes’ technical level standards, serious shortages of students, and the number of admissions for two consecutive years Relevant items that are zero will no longer be arranged to recruit high-level sports teams.
The school's sports training, martial arts and traditional national sports have arranged enrollment of sports events, and no high-level sports teams are enrolled.
In addition, the Ministry of Education, in conjunction with relevant departments, will strengthen the comprehensive evaluation of the quality of high-level sports teams, establish and improve the admission and exit mechanisms for colleges and universities, and use the participation in major sports competitions such as the Olympic Games and the World University Games as important evaluation indicators. In principle, For the three consecutive Olympic Games and the World University Games, no students participated in the events, and no high-level sports teams will be arranged to recruit students.
In order to solve the problem of low sports and cultural level of some students of high-level sports teams in colleges and universities, the "Guiding Opinions" moderately raised the requirements for the candidates' sports competition level and the minimum requirements for cultural class scores, and set a transition period.
Enrollment of high-level sports teams in colleges and universities adopts a combination of "cultural test + professional test" examination evaluation method.
Further optimize the examination work to ensure fairness and justice.
Starting from 2024, the cultural examination results of high-level sports team candidates will all use the national unified college entrance examination and cultural examination results.
All professional tests are included in the national unified examinations, which are organized and implemented by the State Sports General Administration, and colleges and universities no longer organize related school examinations.
The person in charge said that in order to deepen the integration of sports and education, in recent years, the Ministry of Education and the State Sports General Administration have successively included high-level sports teams in colleges and universities, such as football and swimming, into the national unified examination, which has been well received by colleges and universities, candidates and parents.
The national unified exam can not only improve the fairness and scientificity of professional testing, but also help reduce the cost of school group exams and the cost of candidates and parents taking the exam in multiple schools.
In the next step, the admissions of high-level sports teams in colleges and universities will gradually be included in the national examination, and more modern technical methods will be explored to objectively test the level of students' sports.
In terms of supervision and management, the "Guiding Opinions" put forward requirements in all aspects. The "Guiding Opinions" clearly stated that it is necessary to establish and improve the training and management system for high-level sports teams after entering the school, and to strengthen the supervision and management of the whole process of student training from enrollment to graduation; The sports department strengthens the issuance and management of athletes' technical grade certificates, optimizes work procedures, and implements the immediate award of athletes' technical grades immediately after the competition, and establishes an early warning and handling mechanism for large data fluctuations and short-term concentrated operation abnormalities as soon as possible to resolutely combat and prevent athletes' skills Grade certificate fraud; colleges and universities should thoroughly implement the requirements for admissions information disclosure, increase information disclosure, further broaden the scope of disclosure, refine disclosures, comprehensively, timely, and accurately publish high-level sports team exam admissions information, and actively accept social supervision.
