Some graduate students have not graduated for more than ten yearsIt is difficult to get a diploma after the master's degree is overdue
There are graduate students"Extra-long read", I haven't graduated for more than ten years?A belated master's degree is hard to find.
In recent years, college graduates"Overstay"Incidents are frequent, triggering retreats. Some graduate students have been unable to successfully complete their studies for a long time and have seriously exceeded the curriculum, resulting in an increase in the occupation of teaching resources and management costs in colleges and universities, which has aroused widespread concern in the society.
Recently, many colleges and universities have taken measures to withdraw from their studies. For example, Jiangxi University of Finance and Economics voluntarily withdrew 113 graduate students, including one PhD student in industrial economics who has served for more than 11 years since entering in 2004. A similar situation has occurred in schools such as Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, where some graduate students have been withdrawn.
The Ministry of Education and the Academic Degrees Committee also issued a document in October 2020, emphasizing the need to strictly regulate the management of graduate education, remove students who are not suitable for obtaining degrees in a timely manner, and avoid waste of resources and deterioration of education quality.
It is understood that these"Master's and doctoral students who have served beyond the time limit"A lot of teaching resources are consumed. A doctoral student from a prestigious university said that the supervisors of some first-level disciplines generally recruit a certain number of graduate students every year, but the supervisors' energy and laboratory resources are limited, and it is difficult to cope with the large number of students"Left behind", which is also a serious drain on teaching resources.
This phenomenon not only puts pressure on the teaching of colleges and universities, but also arouses the attention of the society to the management of post-university education.
Administrators of the university's graduate school revealed that they deal with it every year"Overdue Master's and Doctoral Degrees"。However, an overly lax attitude can lead to a problem that accumulates and increases the cost of management for universities. At the same time, many university leaders said that the Ministry of Education evaluates the teaching quality and scientific research level of colleges and universities according to the graduation rate of graduate students, and can adjust the enrollment indicators accordingly. As a result, universities have to take steps to eliminate them"Master's and bachelor's degrees that have not been graduated"。
One of the main reasons for this situation is:"Wide in and strict out"Phenomenon. In the past, MBA, EMBA and other majors were not included in the scope of the graduate examination, and the entrance threshold for part-time graduate students in these majors was lower than that of full-time graduate students, but the tuition fees were generally higher, even twice that of full-time graduate students. As a result, some universities are interested in recruiting these graduate students.
The person in charge of a ** university revealed that the school has expelled hundreds of graduate students who have not graduated within the deadline, and more than half of them are from MBA colleges. Most of these students are on-the-job graduate students recruited before the 2016 MBA and 2017 EMBA examinations, exceeding the maximum Xi period stipulated by the university, that is, 5 years for master's students and 6 years for doctoral students. Due to factors such as relatively weak academic Xi ability and insufficient energy allocation, it is difficult for these working graduate students to obtain degrees in the context of universities continuously improving the quality of graduate education.
A former MBA cadet said that he was mainly influenced by family and work, so it was quite difficult to complete the course. However, they value the network that graduate programs give them more than their diplomas.
Education experts emphasize"Academic certificates are a symbol of national credibility, and resolutely eliminating graduate students who have not completed their studies is a principle that colleges and universities must abide by"。He believes that according to the law of talent training, the maximum length of study Xi stipulated by universities has been relatively relaxed, with master's students generally between 4 and 6 years and doctoral students generally between 6 and 8 years. If graduate students fail to meet the training requirements within this period, it means that their teaching plasticity and Xi learning ability are deficient.
Experts suggest that the entry threshold for graduate students should be continuously raised and the student source structure should be optimizedStrengthen process management and establish a monitoring system for graduate educationWe will continue to promote the standardization and in-depth reform of graduate education.
