In recent years, a new form of running higher education has emerged in China, and a new type of university has emerged, which is called state-owned private secondary college (also called state-owned private secondary college and public private secondary college by some scholars). For the convenience of discussion, this paper is collectively referred to as state-owned private secondary colleges). At present, there are various explanations for state-owned private secondary colleges. Some people think that "it refers to the introduction of private school-running mechanism in the original public universities and the implementation of state-owned private operation mode, which is characterized by independent legal person, independent campus and independent finance"; Others think that it means that "colleges and universities take relatively independent campuses as the starting base of state-owned private secondary colleges, make use of existing teaching resources, especially teachers and reputation, or invest independently or partially in society to set up state-owned private secondary colleges." It has the characteristics of independent legal person, independent school running, independent finance and independent campus "; There is also a saying that "refers to the secondary colleges founded by or affiliated to ordinary colleges and universities with institutional innovation (including school-running system, management system, financing system, etc.). ) and the new operating mechanism "and so on, these are different.
What is a "secondary college"? The person in charge explained that the secondary college refers to a school that introduces social funds, is founded or assisted by undergraduate colleges, has independent accounting, has independent legal personality, has independent campus buildings, independently conducts teaching management and implements academic education. As a new mode of running a school, it is the inevitable product of the transformation of higher education in China from elite education to mass education. Undergraduate course in principle. Through ordinary enrollment, the admission score is appropriately lowered and the charging standard is raised.
Secondary colleges are established by state-owned universities and operated and managed by private institutions. It is affiliated to the national university, but it is not exactly the same as the department of the university. In terms of treatment, students in secondary colleges are the same as students in other ordinary undergraduate colleges. The other three universities are more flexible in specialty setting, and generally offer emerging and popular applied disciplines. In terms of fees, secondary colleges charge according to the relevant policies of the state on private colleges and universities, which is generally higher than that of undergraduate students in their own departments. Therefore, it is recommended that candidates fill in.
Secondary colleges are the product of higher education reform. Although their history is not long, at present, they are huge in number and have different attributes. There are state-owned private schools and joint ventures, among which the one originally attached to public universities is the most important and influential. It belongs to a state-owned private secondary college. At the beginning of its establishment, it relied on the disciplines, teachers, teaching experimental facilities and teaching environment of public key universities, with a high starting point and guaranteed teaching quality. They belong to state-owned universities, but they are not completely equivalent to other subordinate components in universities. Many universities have colleges, departments and departments, which are the organic units of the school and are under the unified management of the school. Although secondary colleges are established in state-owned universities, they are operated and managed by private mechanisms, and their management mode is between public universities and private universities, which is different from the above-mentioned colleges. Because of this special relationship and its irregular management in its early days, there are some opacity, injustice, unfairness and loopholes. With the deepening and improvement of reform, the Ministry of Education has made more specific provisions on the attributes and management of secondary colleges, and the running of secondary colleges has gradually been standardized. First of all, in April 2003, the Ministry of Education issued "Several Opinions on Standardizing and Strengthening the Management of Independent Colleges with New Mechanisms and Models in Colleges and Universities", stipulating that all secondary colleges should adopt private mechanisms; Second, it is necessary to run schools according to the new model, emphasizing that independent colleges should have independent campuses and basic school facilities, implement relatively independent teaching organization and management, enroll students independently, issue academic certificates independently, conduct financial accounting independently, and have independent legal personality; Third, we should implement a new management system. Subsequently, the Ministry of Education issued a regulation that independent colleges must independently issue academic certificates, making it clear that all freshmen of independent colleges enrolled in 2003 will issue academic certificates in the name of independent colleges, and at the same time requiring secondary colleges to actively take measures to implement the requirements of "independent campuses". In other words, secondary colleges and universities that were "inseparable" in the past will not be allowed to continue running schools, and the word "private" should be added to the graduation certificate of students enrolled after 2003 to show the difference with the graduation certificate of our school. In this way, some of the original advantages will disappear. ?
Secondary colleges have been brilliant for some time by virtue of their innate advantages. First of all, due to the special properties of secondary colleges, many low-scoring candidates have the hope of regaining their undergraduate studies. Secondly, it can directly benefit from the teachers and teaching facilities of key institutions. Third, the most attractive thing is to enjoy the same academic diploma as my alma mater. Fourthly, because of their special "blood relationship" with their alma mater, students in secondary colleges can build bridges to their alma mater through various forms. After the introduction of the new policy, the advantages of secondary colleges in running schools are not what they used to be, and the word "private" will be added to the graduation diplomas of students enrolled in 2003, which will undoubtedly have an impact on the enrollment and running of secondary colleges. Many people in the industry said that the reshuffle of secondary colleges will inevitably have a major impact on the admission pattern of colleges and universities. Some students who aim at famous brands will definitely face a big diversion, and secondary colleges will compete with pure private schools and public colleges in terms of students. Private secondary colleges can only rely on their own efforts to build brands to attract candidates in the future, and everything will start from scratch. ?
Due to the evolution of secondary colleges, parents and candidates should have a new understanding and evaluation of secondary colleges. When choosing volunteers, we should also look at the advantages and disadvantages of secondary colleges, weigh them comprehensively and choose carefully. ?
Secondary colleges may be hard to be brilliant, but after all, their charm still exists. First of all, secondary colleges recruit undergraduate students, which is unmatched by most private colleges. Students from secondary colleges enjoy the same treatment as students from other ordinary undergraduate colleges. Secondly, the professional setting of secondary colleges is more flexible, generally based on strong teachers and large market demand. Therefore, secondary colleges generally offer emerging and popular applied disciplines, so as to meet the wishes of candidates who can't get a good major because of insufficient scores. At the same time, secondary colleges pay special attention to practice and internship courses to cultivate students' practical operation ability and problem-solving ability, because they are directly linked to the market. Graduates have strong employment competitiveness, which is superior to most ordinary public undergraduate colleges. Compared with public universities, there are two obvious disadvantages. First, according to the new policy, the word "private" should be added to the diploma of secondary colleges. Under the current employment environment, it will have some impact on the employment of graduates of secondary colleges, but its negative impact is not universal or long-term. Second, in terms of tuition fees, secondary colleges are generally higher than students in universities, each academic year 1. 50,000 ~ 20,000 yuan, this is because the secondary colleges are private in nature and rely on tuition income to maintain their daily operations. Therefore, candidates should consider the family's financial affordability, pay attention to its teachers, experimental conditions, library facilities, management level, school scale and other conditions, and also pay attention to its popularity and geographical location.
