According to the person in charge of the College Student Department of the Ministry of Education, in 2003, the Ministry of Education launched a pilot program of independent enrollment. At present, there are 90 pilot universities, and the enrollment accounts for about 5% of the total enrollment of the pilot universities. A total of 23,000 people were selected and enrolled in 20 14.
Independent enrollment is arranged after the college entrance examination.
The "Implementation Opinions of the State Council on Deepening the Reform of Examination Enrollment System" promulgated in September this year stipulates that independent enrollment arrangements will be implemented after the national unified college entrance examination from 20 15.
Yesterday, the "Opinions" issued by the Ministry of Education clearly required that starting from 20 15, the independent enrollment assessment of all pilot universities should be arranged uniformly after the college entrance examination and before the results of the college entrance examination are announced.
According to the Beijing News reporter's estimation, this period is about 2 weeks.
In this regard, the person in charge of the Department of College Students of the Ministry of Education introduced that considering the feasibility of reform and social expectations and speeding up the pace of reform, various reform measures for independent enrollment in 20 15 will be fully implemented. Among them, the examination time of independent enrollment in 20 15 years was adjusted to the college entrance examination, and "all pilot universities were in place in one step".
It is forbidden for colleges and universities to allocate recommended places to middle schools.
Yesterday, the opinions issued by the Ministry of Education stipulated that independent enrollment in colleges and universities is a supplement to the current unified college entrance examination enrollment, and efforts should be made to solve the problems such as "cracks" and "small college entrance examination" in independent enrollment. To further improve and standardize the pilot work of independent enrollment in colleges and universities, it is necessary to clarify the pilot orientation and mainly select outstanding students with academic expertise and innovation potential.
Candidates applying for pilot colleges and universities shall be provided with recommendation materials by their real names by their middle schools (units), former graduation schools, social organizations or individual experts, and shall be responsible for their authenticity. Pilot colleges and universities shall not allocate recommended places to middle schools.
Pilot colleges and universities should organize experts in related disciplines to carefully examine the application materials submitted by candidates and reasonably determine the list of candidates participating in the school evaluation. On the basis of ensuring the quality of students, the candidates who apply for the exam in the central and western regions and rural areas are appropriately inclined.
Policy interpretation
Why is 1 set after the college entrance examination and before the score line?
According to the person in charge of the College Student Department of the Ministry of Education, the unified arrangement of independent enrollment assessment in colleges and universities will be carried out after the college entrance examination and before the results of the college entrance examination are announced. There are three main considerations:
First, it is conducive to the selection of students with academic expertise and innovation potential. After the college entrance examination scores, if colleges and universities set a threshold according to the college entrance examination results, they may block some students with academic expertise but slightly lower scores in the college entrance examination.
Second, it is conducive to maintaining the fairness and justice of independent enrollment. After the college entrance examination scores, the purpose of some candidates' parents to pursue "preferential scores" for independent enrollment is enhanced, the benefits of colleges and universities to give "preferential scores" are increased, and the pressure to prevent graft and power rent-seeking risks is increased.
Third, it is conducive to ensuring that the current college entrance examination admission process is not affected. If you start enrolling students independently after the college entrance examination scores, you need to postpone the start of the overall enrollment in all provinces of the country by about 2 weeks, and increase the waiting time for candidates to enroll nationwide.
2 is the time for enrollment assessment sufficient?
Yu Shijie, director of the Admissions Office of Tsinghua University, believes that pilot colleges and universities will face difficulties such as "grabbing teachers" and "grabbing classrooms" with college students if they want to scientifically and fairly determine the candidates for independent enrollment two weeks after the college entrance examination, which poses greater challenges to colleges and universities. "But we will try our best to overcome these difficulties and do a good job in independent enrollment."
"Time will be tight, but there are also other universities that have completed evaluation and marking in the same short time." Shi Zhenjun, director of the Admissions and Employment Department of Beijing Jiaotong University, believes that universities must consider the time factor when redrafting the implementation plan of independent enrollment.
The person in charge of the College Student Department of the Ministry of Education said that the opinions require all provincial entrance examination institutions and relevant middle schools to provide necessary support and services for the pilot colleges and universities to ensure that the entrance examination is completed on time.
Yu Shijie suggested developing and building a unified registration platform for independent enrollment in colleges and universities, so that candidates can fill in multiple pilot colleges at one time when registering, and improve the registration efficiency.
Can I participate in multi-school enrollment?
The "Opinions" pointed out that it is necessary to improve the registration and review procedures for candidates, and candidates should apply for pilot universities. Then, can candidates apply for multiple pilot universities and participate in the enrollment assessment of multiple universities?
Yesterday, the person in charge of the Department of College Students of the Ministry of Education said that candidates who have registered and passed the exams in many colleges and universities can take the admission exams in many colleges and universities if the exam schedule allows. However, in order to avoid the heavy burden of enrollment assessment, candidates are advised to rationally choose and determine the institutions participating in the assessment.
Will there be a written test?
The "Opinions" require that the enrollment assessment be organized by the pilot universities alone, and no joint entrance examination or special training may be organized.
"In previous years, NATO, Kazuki Watanabe musician, Excellence and other written test alliances formed by some universities will be cancelled." The person in charge of the college student department of the Ministry of Education said.
According to the requirements of the Opinions, in principle, there is one written test subject, not more than two.
Shi Zhenjun, director of the Admissions and Employment Department of Beijing Jiaotong University, believes that canceling the joint entrance examination does not mean stopping the written examination. Because the examination time is before the college entrance examination, some colleges and universities may still examine whether students are suitable for recruitment through the written examination of cultural courses. However, due to time constraints, it will be difficult to implement the practice of "writing a written test first and then notifying some students with excellent written test results to participate in the interview" in some colleges and universities in the past.
5 can you solve the "pinch" of the senior high school entrance examination?
"The most important feature of this independent enrollment reform is problem orientation." Yu Shijie believes that this reform has responded to some issues of high social concern, such as "small college entrance examination" and "affecting the teaching order of middle schools".
Shi Zhenjun believes that arranging self-enrollment assessment after the college entrance examination is expected to solve the problem that in the past, self-enrollment examinations were concentrated around the Spring Festival, and candidates needed to travel to and from multiple examination rooms, which affected the teaching order in middle schools. The cancellation of the "joint entrance examination" is mainly aimed at the problems of "pinching the top" and "small college entrance examination" in the past.
Wang, director of the Admissions Office of Peking University, believes that the Opinions require candidates to apply for pilot colleges and universities, and relevant secondary schools and individual experts can provide recommendation materials with their real names, which can fundamentally solve the problem of equal opportunities. "All students can apply according to their own specialties and interests. Middle schools don't have to be divided into three or six grades, and their rights are the same."
