1. When will the new charging system be implemented? Which objects apply? What is the impact on schools and students?
This time, the investment mechanism of postgraduate education has been improved, and a "trinity" policy system has been put forward, including perfecting the financial allocation system, perfecting the policy system of awards and assistance, and establishing and perfecting the charging system. According to the requirements of the Opinions, a new tuition system will be implemented from the fall semester of 20 14, and tuition fees will be charged for all newly enrolled graduate students who are included in the national graduate enrollment plan. The principle is "new methods for freshmen, old methods for students", and the original tuition policy is still implemented for graduate students enrolled before the fall semester of 20 14.
After the implementation of various policies and measures, the school's income will increase significantly compared with that before the reform. First, the state has increased its financial allocation, and the state has arranged a fixed allocation for all full-time graduate students included in the national plan, and greatly improved the funding standards. Second, the tuition income has increased, and full-time graduate students included in the national plan have to pay tuition fees. At the same time, the school's investment in postgraduate awards will also increase. As far as students are concerned, the reward income will increase obviously on the whole, and the reward structure will be more optimized. The first is to ensure the basic life of graduate students. From the fall of 20 14, the existing general scholarships for graduate students will be adjusted to state grants to subsidize the basic living expenses of graduate students, covering all full-time graduate students in the national graduate enrollment plan. Second, national scholarships and academic scholarships have been established to increase the rewards for outstanding graduate students. Third, encourage graduate students to actively participate in teaching, scientific research and management. Colleges and universities should co-ordinate multi-channel funds according to regulations, establish and improve the tutor responsibility system and tutor project funding system, increase funding for "three-aid" positions, and give corresponding funding according to the performance of graduate students in teaching, scientific research and management. The fourth is to ensure the enrollment of graduate students from poor families. In addition to enjoying the above policies as required, the Opinions also require colleges and universities to take comprehensive measures such as reducing tuition fees, granting subsidies for special difficulties, opening up a "green channel" for enrollment, and developing national student loans to ensure the enrollment of graduate students with financial difficulties.
2. For students who continue to study for master's degree or doctor's degree, how to distribute the national grants for graduate students?
Starting from the fall semester of 20 14, the existing general scholarships for graduate students will be adjusted to national grants for graduate students. The basic idea of awarding scholarships for master's and doctoral students is: before the master's and doctoral students are registered as doctoral students or pass the qualification examination for doctoral degrees, they will be awarded national scholarships according to their master's status; After being registered as a doctoral student, or after passing the qualification examination for studying for a doctoral degree, the state grant will be issued as a doctoral student. For direct students and students who have not been awarded intermediate degrees, the school will determine the level of state grants according to the stage of the courses the students studied in that year. At the stage of elective master's courses, state grants are issued according to the status of master's students; Enter the elective stage of doctoral courses and issue state grants as doctoral students. At present, the Ministry of Education is working with relevant departments to formulate the Interim Measures for the Administration of National Scholarships for Postgraduates, which will be promulgated this year.
