Tsinghua University clearly stated in the Regulation on Postgraduate Training formulated at the 9th school affairs meeting that publishing academic papers is not a prerequisite for applying for thesis defense or degree. This provision is also a comment on breaking the master's degree provision. Only Chinese papers tend to be cancelled, and non-professional master students must complete at least one paper related to the content of the dissertation, and cancel the development requirements.
After this incident, it also caused a heated discussion on the Internet. Let's not discuss academic circles first, just because the majority of netizens say that this behavior is a bit excessive, but for the top universities of Tsinghua students, is it my admission standard for them? We all know the difficulty of the college entrance examination. Students who can go to Tsinghua Peking University are all top students in China. However, if the application standard for master's degree is lowered, will it reduce the enrollment expansion of master's degree or lower the requirements for examination? Or is this just a superficial comparison? If you really want to apply for a master's degree in Tsinghua, do you need to publish a paper? In fact, we don't know these reasons, but as far as the official release is concerned, it is true that they say that there is no need for tasks, but in many training institutions, they will definitely write papers, because in the national ranking, under the condition of limited enrollment, he always gives priority to excellent students, so for those excellent students, they will definitely write papers.
We have to admit that China has done well in undergraduate education, but it has done badly in many high-tech and high-level education. Will the decline in the standards for applying for master's degrees further deepen China's shortcomings in high technology and training?
Tsinghua University's official television station said that the new regulations will be used to guide the formulation and revision of postgraduate training programs in various disciplines and professional degree categories. The school will carry out publicity and training on postgraduate education management system in departments in combination with the formulation of postgraduate training plan during 20021. Generally speaking, they all cancel the training plan of their own disciplines or professional degree categories in order to better complete their personal training plans.
According to Tsinghua officials, this is indeed an educational reform, and there are also very good places for personalized training, but the trend is very bad for the overall high-end education, mainly because most people in China apply for very good advanced degrees, so there are actually problems in talent selection. However, reform is inevitable. For many future reform programs, top-level educational institutions suspected or related to high-tech talents must be at the forefront, paving a better way for the following ordinary universities and secondary universities.
