It is not to cancel the self-study exam, but to carry out reform. This year is a transitional period, and it will be more difficult to take the self-taught exam after 20 18.
20 18 academic education reform is true. The Ministry of Education has published and publicized relevant documents in official website. However, it is a misunderstanding of the policy to cancel the self-study exam on 20 18. In fact, the correct understanding of the online rumor that "20 18 academic education reform cancels self-taught examination" is that full-time colleges and universities that do not offer junior college level will stop recruiting junior college level students. In other words, if colleges and universities have majors related to specialties, they can continue to recruit specialized students. But if you want to apply for a junior college degree in key universities, such as China Geo University (Beijing), China Youshi University (Beijing) and Beijing Foreign Studies University, 20 17 is the last year.
The Ministry of Education issued the Administrative Measures for the Setting of Continuing Education Major in Colleges and Universities on October 20110, which clearly stipulates that "ordinary undergraduate colleges and higher vocational schools must set up continuing education major and specialist major in higher education within the scope of full-time education major and specialist major". After the implementation of this policy, ordinary colleges and universities will no longer hold continuing education outside the scope of full-time education; Ordinary undergraduate colleges and universities that do not hold full-time junior college education will no longer hold continuing education at the junior college level.
