The Ministry of Education revoked 565,438+08 undergraduate majors in more than 100 universities, including many popular majors such as clinical medicine and public utilities management. What new signals will be released after the batch is cancelled, and what impact will it bring to students?
On March 1 day, the Ministry of Education released the record and approval results of undergraduate majors in ordinary colleges and universities in 2020, and announced the list of newly registered majors, newly approved majors and revoked majors in ordinary colleges and universities in 2020. In the new round of undergraduate major adjustment, 565,438+08 undergraduate majors were cancelled, and the number reached a record high.
Many experts stressed that the large-scale cancellation of majors is a routine and benign measure for the dynamic adjustment of majors in colleges and universities. In 20 12, the Ministry of Education proposed to establish a dynamic adjustment mechanism for disciplines and majors, and began to encourage colleges and universities to independently adjust and cancel the "surplus low-quality dislocation" majors. In 20 19, the Ministry of Education issued a document again, emphasizing the elimination of majors that do not meet the needs of society, and the pace of professional revocation has been increasing. In the past five years, the number of undergraduate majors in education cancelled each year was 149, 24 1, 4 16, 367 and 5 18, respectively, showing an overall upward trend.
In this round of merger and adjustment, "many famous schools have merged their clinical medicine majors", which once caused widespread discussion. Four universities, Central South University, Nankai University, Shandong University and Guangxi Medical University, cancelled their clinical medicine majors this year. The clinical medicine of Central South University was rated as A- level in the latest subject evaluation, while the clinical medicine of Nankai University also performed exceptionally well in the ESI clinical medical quality level index ranking, with strong discipline strength. Some netizens wondered, does this "cancellation" mean closing from now on?
