Since 2015, the military academies and universities have implemented the reform of the points-based post selection system, and after the general principles have been determined, the specific rules have been handed over to the schools to formulate, opening an era in which academic Xi performance is the mainstay and students are the leader in the distribution of posts. What is the parallel volunteer distribution model
In 21 years, the first year of the implementation of military reform, military academies ushered in the allocation of 20 - Parallel volunteer mode. This is not the first time that the parallel model has entered everyone's field of vision, and some colleges and universities have been exploring and implementing it since 2019.
Having said all that, what is the parallel voluntary distribution model?
That is, in keeping the premise of integral post selection unchanged, the school distinguishes the three levels of ABC according to a certain method (station, military arms, etc.) according to the superior plan post (unofficial is good and poor), and the students choose one at each level in the three different levels of ABC, no matter which post at which level can only be selected three times, and the post that the student finally goes to is determined by the academy according to the actual comprehensive measurement of the needs of the troops.
Here's an example. There are 100 people in a certain college, and there must be 100 in the 21-year plan, so it can be divided into 30 at level A, 30 at level B, and 40 at level C according to the conditions. Of course, it is also allowed for the top three to choose a good position at the same time, and the specific selection is decided by the school according to its needs.
Why should we implement a parallel voluntary distribution model?From the above, it can be seen that the distribution system has changed from student-led to student-led to the way of choice by students and final decision by the school, which enhances the role of school regulation.
So why is there such a change?
This brings us to the six-year-old reform of the distribution of graduates. Prior to this, the distribution of cadets from military academies was carried out in a completely planned manner, and in the end, it depended more on factors such as personal background and connections, and even affected the atmosphere of military academies, troops, and organs for a time, and was not conducive to arousing the enthusiasm of cadets in school Xi.
After the reform, a point system was introduced, and it can be said that it is a relatively fair way to select positions according to the ranking of points. Many civilian children with no background and connections have successfully selected and been assigned to their favorite positions with their excellent academic Xi and school performance. At the same time, however, it has also brought about a problem: Many students with excellent quality and good academic Xi grades have chosen to go to posts in developed areas, around cities, and in government institutions and academies by virtue of their right of first choice, while students who are at the bottom of the rankings can only go to the troops in the border areas where they are in hardship. Soon after, the cadres of the frontier troops became a problem, and the leaders were naturally unwilling, which would also affect the preparation for war in these areas. Some people even think that this is a kind of discrimination, and they are worried that if this continues, there will be a cadre fault line in the border areas, which will affect the overall situation of national defense!As a result, the leaders of these regions filed a complaint with the organs of the Military Commission.
After a comprehensive study, the organs of the Central Military Commission also realized that the problem would become more serious in the long run, so they demanded that the distribution of cadets after graduation should continue to deepen the reform and solve the problem of balance
In this way, the model of parallel volunteering came, taking into account the selection of points and the regulation of colleges and universities.
The impact of parallel volunteering
There have always been two indicators in the distribution system that are difficult to reconcile, namely, incentives and equilibrium. If the plan allocation only considers balance, and the point selection only considers incentives, then parallel volunteering is a way to strike a balance between incentives and equilibrium. Although each person or institution has a different view of this balance, it does achieve a balance.
The advantage of parallel volunteering is that it solves the problem of the needs of a part of the troops in remote areas. Through the moderating effect of the school, the best talents are assigned to remote areas, and at the same time, their enthusiasm is not completely depleted. This can be seen as a step forward. At the same time, colleges and universities also prefer this method because it increases their voice in student management, improves their control and autonomy, and is beneficial to the management of the school.
However, there are also outstanding advantages and disadvantages to parallel volunteering. Cons include:
1.It is easy to have the problem of power rent-seeking. Everyone pursues their own interests, and increasing the regulatory role of schools in distribution may increase the risk of corruption.
2.Parallel volunteering is actually a type of gradient volunteering. Because of the need for talents to go to various regions and units, it is difficult to openly and clearly divide which areas and units are superior and bad, so the method of parallel volunteering is adopted, emphasizing that no matter where you go, you are all to contribute to the revolutionary cause. This may mask differences between regions and units.
3.If there is a deviation in the implementation of the policy, it can have long-term negative consequences. Striking a balance between incentives and equilibrium, if some institutions fail to grasp this balance well, may discourage students with good academic Xi performance, leading to "uselessness" and returning to the situation of the planned distribution period.
A message to cadets who have graduated from military academies
The last few words for everyone:
1.Job selection is only the beginning of the work, not the end. Choosing a military school means accepting an arrangement that cannot be chosen, which is inevitable, and the selection of posts is only one of them. In fact, both good and bad jobs are relative. If you are sent to a remote area, you should not give up on yourself, because the distribution system is being reformed, and the exchange system is also being reformed. With four ways of communicating, you can compensate for the needs that the distribution can't meet. In terms of policy, we should give preference to supporting officers and soldiers in remote areas, and many of them have been transferred from military units to military academies and universities to serve as cadres through exchanges. Distribution is not a matter of a lifetime, and I believe that the army will have better policies.
2.Have a mature mindset. Maturity is not about having a good attitude at the beginning, but choosing to maintain an optimistic attitude after experiencing the hardships and helplessness of life. The environment may not change, but life must go on. Generally speaking, good opportunities need to be fought for, not waited.
3.Purely relying on ability may be important in school, but after work, it is more important to pay attention to comprehensive strength. Comprehensive strength after work is actually a norm, and many times, school education leads to students being difficult to change their thinking Xi for a period of time after work, and there is thinking inertia. We should focus on competence, but not just pursue competence alone. This is an objective law after work, and we should adapt to it, not try to change it.
