First, the event playback

Since the implementation of the college student village official program in Hainan Province from 65438 to 0999, it has been widely concerned by the society and has been widely tried out in many parts of the country. Beijing, Shaanxi, Henan, Zhejiang, Sichuan and other places have issued policies to attract college graduates to work in rural areas with certain preferential conditions, hoping to alleviate the employment pressure of college students, improve the quality of village officials and improve the level of rural governance. In 2005, Beijing announced that it planned to recruit college students "village officials" in 2006, which was immediately enthusiastically sought after by Beijing college students. The selected 2000 college students "village officials" went to the front line of rural construction in the suburbs of Beijing to serve as assistant to the secretary of the village party branch and assistant to the director of the village Committee. However, there are also many problems in the implementation of this plan. Wu Tian is one of the first batch of university student village officials in Beijing. During his two months as assistant secretary of the village party branch, he always felt a lack of identity. After complete disappointment, he finally submitted his resignation report. In the seventh year of Hainan's "university student village official" plan, the selection plan gradually stagnated. The post-management and use of "college student village officials" working at the grassroots level has become the biggest problem faced by relevant departments at present.

Second, government measures.

At present, the Central Organization Department, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Health, the the State Council Poverty Alleviation Office and the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League jointly issued a notice to start the "three supports and one support" program for college graduates, with more favorable policies to guide and encourage college students to volunteer to serve the western region and serve the grassroots. The state will conduct recruitment according to the methods of open recruitment, voluntary registration, organization selection and unified dispatch, adhere to the principle of "openness, equality, competition and merit selection", give certain living and transportation subsidies during work, and uniformly handle medical insurance for personal accident insurance and hospitalization, and the expenses will be supported by special funds arranged by local finance and central finance. The circular stressed that all localities and relevant departments should actively formulate preferential policies, actively create employment conditions and encourage college students who have finished their service to take root at the grassroots level. The local government should give priority to students who have finished their service in terms of loans, recruitment of civil servants in party and government organs, and evaluation of middle and senior professional titles.

Local governments such as Beijing have introduced seven measures to guide and encourage college students to become "village officials". College graduates are employed as assistant to the secretary of the village party branch and assistant to the director of the village Committee, with an average of 2,000 yuan per person per month in the first year, which will increase year by year, and the government will pay various social insurances for them according to relevant policies. After the expiration of three years, the hired "university student village official" can be renewed according to the needs of the work and my wishes. Non-Beijing college graduates who have passed the continuous examination for two years can be transferred to collective households of talent service institutions in work areas and counties. In addition, the hired students have passed the written examination certificate of Beijing national civil servants during their school days, and the validity period of their three-year contracts can be extended to six months after the expiration.

Third, related comments

A comment: "University student village official" should be a rational choice. Under the current severe employment environment, it seems that university student village officials have become a realistic choice for students. This choice may be out of passion, but it is more of a stopgap measure and a helpless choice. Relatively generous treatment and a series of preferential policies have made limited jobs "hot", and graduates from various majors compete for competition. However, when they really joined the countryside, many college students appeared "acclimatized" phenomenon. They generally think that the interpersonal relationship in rural work is too complicated and the suggestions put forward in the work are unacceptable. They feel useless as heroes, and the lack of local cultural level makes them feel spiritually lonely. Many of them, after releasing their passion, set foot on the journey of the city again with the expected preferential policies to find the life they really want. Professor Sun Boying believes that the confusion of these "university student village officials" is mainly a matter of value judgment. Many of them are not driven by their inner values, nor by their love and responsibility for the countryside, but by a series of preferential policies they can enjoy after the service expires. If we can be more rational in the initial choice, pay more attention to our hobbies and value needs, instead of following the trend of chasing fame and fortune, we may be able to avoid discomfort and confusion, and also reduce the unnecessary waste of human resources to society.

Comment 2: College student village officials encounter identity confusion. As a new policy, "university student village official" has encountered difficulties in both law and practice. First of all, at the legal level, according to the Organic Law of Villagers' Committees of the People's Republic of China, "the chairman, vice-chairmen and members of villagers' committees are directly elected by villagers. No organization or individual may designate, appoint or replace members of a villagers' committee ". College students who are village officials in rural areas are not villagers, so they cannot serve as village committee directors, vice-directors and members in village committee elections. Based on this restriction stipulated by law, generally speaking, these university student village officials only serve as deputy secretary of the Party branch and assistant to the director of the village committee in rural areas, and the deputy secretary of the branch is acceptable, but the post of "assistant to the director" of the village committee has aroused many people's doubts, because there is no provision for this position in the organic law of the village committee. According to the principle of autonomy according to law, "assistant to the director" is not legitimate. Secondly, in reality, villagers often lack the identity of university student village officials. In the eyes of most villagers, college student village officials are "flying pigeon" cadres, who have served for a short time, and most of them may leave in two or three years. Giving them real power is not conducive to the development of related work. So college students regard each other as "assistants" but have no real power. Their daily work focuses on typing for leaders, writing reports, teaching leaders how to use computers, and helping the office organize documents and files.

Comment 3: The decision-making difficulties of the "College Student Village Officer" program. First of all, there is a lack of correct understanding of policy applicability. The plan of "university student village official" is the guiding policy of the central government, and local governments should treat it cautiously and formulate corresponding policies flexibly according to their actual conditions. There are few places like Beijing suburbs that can attract college students to be "village officials" with preferential conditions, but some local governments regard it as a performance project, blindly implement it regardless of whether their own conditions are applicable, and treat college students as village officials as furnishings, which not only wastes a lot of financial and material resources, but also is questioned because the promise cannot be implemented. Secondly, the decision-making scheme is not perfect. The plan of college student village officials was to let college students become village officials, but some local leaders transferred them to other positions before the end of their attachment. In addition, some policy makers have not fully considered how to resettle college students after their term expires, and the proposed scheme is not operable and feasible. For example, in some places, it is stipulated that college students who choose "village officials" can be transferred to the civil service system, but this provision conflicts with the principle that civil servants must take exams when they enter the job according to the latest civil service law. There is no guarantee that college students who have been "village officials" will pass the civil service examination. Once the college student village official fails to pass the examination, the government's promise of "becoming a full-time civil servant" cannot be realized, which will seriously damage the prestige of the government and the seriousness of the college student village official system.

Fourth, policy recommendations.

First of all, establish and improve the rights protection system of university student village officials. It is necessary to ensure the stability of the post of college student village officials and ensure that their posts will not change during their attachment. By continuing to improve the transfer payment system, intensifying the transfer payment and standardizing the transfer payment procedures, it is also necessary to improve the relevant policies of governments at all levels to bear the salaries and benefits of college student village officials in proportion, improve the material treatment of college students, and the government should also formulate preferential policies to solve their worries.

Second, improve the selection and appointment mechanism of university student village officials. A perfect selection system should have reasonable and scientific selection criteria, not discriminatory requirements, to ensure the effectiveness and legitimacy of selection; The selection should be based on the principle of "fairness, justice and openness", and through serious and strict selection procedures, excellent college students with real talents and practical learning should be selected to serve at the grassroots level to ensure their enthusiasm and initiative. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the transparency of the selection process, open the selection process, process and results to citizens, and strengthen the supervision of the masses and the media. In addition, governments at all levels should create a good growth environment, not only let college students stay in supporting roles and affiliated posts, but also pay attention to their training, so that they can become a new force in the construction of new countryside.

Third, establish and improve the follow-up policy of university student village officials. After the expiration of the temporary employment of college students, it should be considered comprehensively. If this problem is not solved, it will seriously dampen the enthusiasm and initiative of university student village officials. Beijing's experience is worth learning from. Beijing stipulates that after the expiration of the three-year contract, I am willing to renew the contract and continue to work in the village if my work requires it. If you want to go abroad for development, you can also voluntarily enter the talent market and choose your own job.

Fourth, it is necessary to strengthen the supervision and assessment of the post of university student village officials. The first is the phased assessment, step by step. It is a gradual process for college students to integrate into the practical work at the grassroots level, and corresponding performance evaluation and supervision should be carried out in the initial stage of adaptation, the middle stage of maturity and the late stage of development. The second is to pay attention to the comprehensive evaluation of process and result. A complete evaluation system not only pays attention to the results of its plan implementation, but also includes timely improvement, continuous enrichment and perfection according to the shortcomings or mistakes in its specific work process. Therefore, in the process of implementing the "College Student Village Official Plan", all localities should constantly improve and perfect the original policies and measures according to their own implementation conditions. The third is policy transparency and mass supervision. The work of college student village officials should proceed from the fundamental interests of the masses, accept their supervision, actively listen to and adopt their suggestions and opinions, adhere to the supervision and evaluation of the masses as objective standards, and realize the transparency, openness and scientificity of policies.

Fifth, when carrying out the work of university student village officials, schools and villages should be given certain autonomy. Rural areas have their own unique social conditions and public opinion, and any work should respect the rural reality. Before implementing the plan of university student village officials, we should first consider the local production status, production conditions and financial situation, and then make plans as needed. After formulating relatively uniform selection criteria, local governments should delegate the power of selection to schools, departments, towns and administrative villages. Only by docking can they blindly choose the most suitable person and arrange it where they need it most.
