[Edit this paragraph] The development process of college student "village officials" in China.

Since the mid-1990s, college student village officials have experienced a long process of accumulation and development from scratch and rapid development.

1. Spontaneous exploration stage

65438-0995, in order to solve the "three rural issues", Jiangsu Province took the lead in recruiting college students as rural grassroots cadres. From 65438 to 0999, Hainan Province started the plan of "village officials" for college students, and cities and counties such as Ding 'an, Lingao and Dongfang successively organized the recruitment of "village officials" for college students. In the same year, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province adopted the open recruitment method, becoming the first region in China to implement the plan of "one university student per village". During this period, the number of college students "village officials" was small, but the forms were diverse, which gradually opened the formal channel for intellectuals to return to their hometowns since the reform and opening up, and accumulated an important practical foundation for later development.

In March 2000, Tianhe District of Guangzhou City openly recruited 52 college students as "village officials", and more than 3,000 college students from all over the country went to apply. In 2002, Hebi City, Henan Province recruited 205 college students as "village officials" and started the project of "village officials" for college students in Henan Province. In 2004, Xingtai City, Hebei Province decided to send 1000 college students to work in rural areas every year on the basis of pilot work, so as to achieve the goal that 5,200 administrative villages have college students as "village officials" within five years. By the end of 2004, there were 10 provinces and cities in China that started the "village officials" program for college students, mainly in the eastern and central regions. The work of "village officials" of college students has gradually entered the stage of overall promotion and exploration with multi-provincial linkage and regional units.

2. Comprehensive testing stage

In July 2005, the General Office of the Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council issued the Opinions on Guiding and Encouraging College Graduates to Face Grassroots Employment. In February 2006, eight ministries and commissions, including the Organization Department of the Central Committee, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Education, issued a notice to jointly organize college graduates to engage in teaching, supporting agriculture, supporting doctors and helping the poor in rural areas. Since then, the work of college students as "village officials" has entered a large-scale experimental stage.

Since 2005, Beijing, Sichuan, Jiangxi, Fujian, Qinghai, Liaoning, Guizhou, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Anhui, Shanghai, Jilin, Hunan, Gansu, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Yunnan and other provinces and cities have successively launched the "village officials" program for college students. By the end of February, 2008, 28 provinces and cities in China had started the "village official" program for college students, among which 17 provinces and cities started the "village official" program with college students in every village.

In March 2008, the Central Organization Department, together with the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, held a symposium on the selection and appointment of college student village officials, and deployed the selection and appointment of college student village officials, which entered a brand-new development period.
