Rush to the hot search. Spark heated discussions.

Many fresh graduates said.

Encountering discrimination in the process of applying for a job with a "first degree".

In fact, it's not just that.

Many college entrance examination losers are difficult to get rid of the "stigma".

The first degree".

Even the Doctor standing at the top of the ivory tower.

I can also touch a nose ash.

Many people can't help but sigh.

The first degree is my scar".

I feel like I can't make a mistake in life."

Some people are even bold and self-deprecating.

Dishonorable academic qualifications" are equated with "dishonorable past".

Why is the discrimination of "first degree" "toxic"?

As highly educated graduates continue to enter the job market, the situation of "more monks and less porridge" makes more and more people face the question of "academic starting point".

A few days ago, a survey of 1,000 respondents released by the Social Survey Center of China Youth Daily and the questionnaire network showed that more than eighty percent of the respondents felt that the "first degree" was overemphasized in recruitment.

Is the "first degree" considered a criterion for judging a job applicant?People with different positions have different opinions.

Proponents argue that a "first degree" reflects a person's academic ability and level of knowledge. It is a valuable measure that shows a person's potential and likelihood of being qualified for a position in society in the future.

Opponents argue that academic qualifications do not necessarily reflect real ability, that they are only a superficial sign that cannot accurately measure a person's performance in actual work, and that the gold content of higher education seems to be declining year by year.

For employers, using the "first academic qualification" to select people is certainly a way to improve the efficiency of selection, but this discriminatory attitude, in essence, is the concrete embodiment of the theory of only academic qualifications and famous schools.

Some scholars have analyzed and pointed out that "academic qualifications" is a crude way to select talents

This method of selecting talents may not be able to recruit real high-quality talents for employers, but it will have a very serious negative impact on the whole society's outlook on talent and education.

If employers look at academic qualifications, then students who enter prestigious universities with undergraduates, even if they do not work hard, can gain a competitive advantage with their "first degree", will they continue to work hard to study Xi?And those students who graduate from high school and enter junior colleges, no matter how hard they study and Xi, they cannot reverse the disadvantage of "first degree", and some students will give up on themselves.

The "first degree" discrimination has hit the efforts of those higher vocational college and ordinary undergraduate students, which will affect the quality of the overall human resources, and is a short-sighted practice that employers are not responsible for themselves and society.

Only academic qualifications" must be broken!

In fact, the "first degree" itself is a pseudo-concept.

In September 2021, a netizen left an interactive message at the Ministry of Education and asked: "Is the first degree after graduating from a college or a bachelor's degree?"”

The Ministry of Education replied that academic qualifications refer to the Xi experience of people receiving scientific and cultural education and skills training in educational institutions, and the concept of "first degree" is not used in the relevant policies and documents of the national education administrative department.

On the road to breaking the "only academic qualifications", many departments have already taken action.

In 2021, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security issued the Notice on Issues Concerning the Participation of Vocational College Graduates in Public Recruitment by Public Institutions, proposing: "For positions with vocational skill level requirements in public recruitment of public institutions, the academic requirements may be appropriately lowered, or the academic requirements will no longer be set. ”

In October 2020, the "Overall Plan for Deepening the Reform of Educational Evaluation in the New Era" was issued, proposing: "The recruitment of civil servants at all levels, public institutions and state-owned enterprises should reasonably formulate recruitment conditions and determine the level Xi Xi of academic qualifications according to the needs of the post. ”

In November of the same year, the Ministry of Education once again reaffirmed the reversal of the "only famous schools" and "only academic qualifications" employment orientation, especially in the recruitment announcement and actual operation of party and government organs, public institutions, and state-owned enterprises, they shall not take graduation colleges, foreign study Xi experience, and Xi mode of study (full-time and part-time) as restrictive conditions.

Although academic qualifications can distinguish strength to a certain extent, they are not the only criterion for judging a person. If you live for decades and only take one test for life, then it is meaningless to emphasize lifelong learning Xi.

Let talents be able to "make the best use of their talents", do not raise the employment of academic qualifications, do not make the best waste, and the overburned "education first" is time to cool down!
