Many parents of high school students know that the Strong Foundation Program is a "low score and high admission" path, but they are not particularly clear about how to make reasonable use of this path to add an insurance to their children's college entrance examination. Today, let's talk to you about the Strong Foundation Plan.
The Basic Discipline Enrollment Reform Pilot, also known as the Strong Foundation Program, is an enrollment reform carried out by the Ministry of Education, mainly to select and train students who are interested in serving the major strategic needs of the country and have excellent comprehensive quality or top-notch basic disciplines.
Strong Base Plan
1. Colleges and universities enrolled in the Strong Foundation Program
In January 2020, the "Opinions of the Ministry of Education on Carrying out the Pilot Work of Basic Discipline Enrollment Reform in Some Colleges and Universities" was issued, and it was decided to carry out the pilot reform of basic discipline enrollment in 36 world-class universities from 2020. This move also means that the original independent enrollment is officially canceled, and the strong foundation plan has officially become a college entrance examination path. In March 2022, three universities were added: Northeastern University, Hunan University, and Northwest A&F University to carry out the pilot of the Strong Foundation Program. Since then, all 39 "985 Project" universities have been qualified for enrollment in the Strong Foundation Program.
2. Enrollment majors of the Strong Foundation Program
The strong foundation plan focuses on key fields such as high-end chips and software, new materials, intelligent technology, advanced manufacturing and advanced technology, as well as the humanities and social sciences fields where there is a shortage of national talents. The Ministry of Education requires colleges and universities to highlight the supporting and leading role of basic disciplines, focusing on mathematics, physics, chemistry, informatics, biology, basic medicine, history, philosophy, Chinese language and literature (paleography) and other related majors.
The Ministry of Education allows colleges and universities to establish a dynamic adjustment mechanism for discipline majors, and adjust the enrollment majors of the Strong Foundation Program in a timely manner according to the requirements of the new situation and the enrollment situation. In 2022, popular application-oriented majors such as aerospace at Northwestern Polytechnical University and automation at Northeastern University will also be included in the enrollment of the Strong Foundation Program. In 2023, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics will increase the enrollment majors of the Aircraft Power Engineering Strong Foundation Program, and Harbin Institute of Technology will add applied majors such as composite materials and engineering, aircraft manufacturing engineering, materials science and engineering, nuclear engineering and nuclear technology. As long as parents and friends do their homework carefully, they can find that the Strong Foundation Program can give everyone some surprises every year in the choice of majors.
3. Qualifications for the Strong Foundation Program
According to the original intention of the Ministry of Education, the main purpose of the Strong Foundation Program is to select and train students who are interested in serving the major strategic needs of the country and have excellent comprehensive quality or top-notch basic disciplines. The application is divided into two sections, one is to determine the shortlisted qualifications according to the results of the college entrance examination, and the other is to determine the shortlisted qualifications according to the Olympiad awards and refer to the results of the college entrance examination. For a very small number of candidates with outstanding talents and performance in relevant disciplines (generally Olympiad winners), the relevant colleges and universities may formulate the conditions for exceptional shortlisting and assessment, as well as the methods and standards for exceptional admission, and announce them to the public in advance. After the candidates take the college entrance examination, the university will organize experts in the relevant disciplines to conduct a strict assessment of the candidates, and if they meet the admission standards, they will be admitted exceptionally after being approved by the college admissions agency and approved by the provincial college admissions committee where the students are from. In principle, the college entrance examination score of candidates who are exceptionally admitted shall not be lower than the minimum control score line for the admission of the first batch of undergraduates (special control line) of each province (autonomous region, municipality) (the provinces of the combined admission batch shall separately delineate the corresponding score line).
For ordinary students who do not have Olympiad awards, if their grades do not reach the local first line (special control line), should they apply for the Strong Foundation Program? In my opinion, there is generally no need to apply for the exam. Even if you can reach or even exceed the first line (special control line) of 20 or 30 points in each exam, I generally do not advocate students to apply for the exam. Of course, due to the geographical location of individual "985 Project" universities, the majors are not popular, and each student can only apply for a strong foundation plan university, and students who are a little more on the first line (special control line) can also try their luck, but the probability is about the same as the probability of winning the first prize of the welfare lottery.
Fourth, the application process of the strong foundation plan
Candidates who meet the requirements for college entrance examination can apply for enrollment in the Strong Foundation Program before the college entrance examination (generally in April of the year of the college entrance examination). Colleges and universities shall determine the list of candidates participating in the college assessment according to the candidates' college entrance examination results, according to a certain multiple of the enrollment quota of the strong foundation plan in each province (autonomous region, municipality). After the candidates participate in the unified college entrance examination and college assessment, colleges and universities will synthesize the candidates' comprehensive scores in proportion to the candidates' college entrance examination results, college comprehensive assessment results and comprehensive quality evaluation (of which the proportion of college entrance examination scores shall not be less than 85%), and admit candidates according to their preferences according to their comprehensive scores from high to low.
Generally speaking, the calculation method of the comprehensive score of the Strong Foundation Plan is - comprehensive score = candidate's college entrance examination score (converted to a 100-point system) * 85% + school examination score (100-point system) * 15%.
In particular, it is necessary to mention the "resumption of diplomatic relations" model of the strong foundation plan. The so-called "resumption of the South Friendship" model refers to the fact that in 2022, Fudan University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and Nanjing University will clearly move the re-examination link of the Strong Foundation Plan to the post-college entrance examination and before the scores, so as to lock in high-quality students in advance. In 2023, the University of Science and Technology of China, Zhejiang University, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Tongji University, and Xiamen University will clearly follow up the "resumption of diplomatic relations in the south" model, and also advance the re-examination of the strong foundation plan. At present, most colleges and universities still use the method of re-examination to select candidates after the scores are released, but the list may change from year to year. In view of this, the application process for the above Strong Foundation Scheme varies from school to school. However, no matter which school you apply for, students are generally required to upload the "Strong Foundation Program Candidate Commitment Letter" on the Sunshine College Entrance Examination website between June 9 and 20 of that year, which should be remembered.
Fifth, the strong foundation plan re-examination assessment
The re-examination of the Strong Foundation Program is divided into a written test and an interview.
The written test is different from the college entrance examination, the form of the questions is more flexible, the content is more comprehensive, and the candidates' logical analysis ability, reading and expression ability, and analytical and problem-solving ability can be tested in many aspects. In general, colleges and universities will set topics according to the characteristics of the major they are applying for. For example, reading and expression (Chinese) + mathematics and logic (mathematics) are tested in liberal arts, and it is also possible to take a foreign language test instead of mathematics; Mathematics and Logic (Mathematics) + Physics** (Physics) in Science. The difficulty of the examination questions is generally above the college entrance examination and below the competition, but it is not excluded that some colleges and universities directly use the most difficult competition questions to select talents. For example, many candidates reported that the written examination questions at the University of Science and Technology of China were quite difficult. Of course, this situation is only a minority, and when we candidates are preparing for the written exam, we still focus on the usual college entrance examination review, and pay a little more attention.
The interview examines the usual accumulation and expression of a candidate, so it emphasizes a kind of randomness and flexibility, which is not easy to be stereotyped, and deliberately preparing for the interview may be half the result. However, what candidates can prepare for is the appearance and demeanor during the interview, and the speed of answering questions; Pay attention to social hot issues and train yourself to think independently. The content of the interview involves all aspects, not only to test your understanding of some intellectual issues, but also to analyze social issues, including a person's mental state and demeanor. When answering questions, you should pay attention to be concise, keep your smile, express your true thoughts independently, and answer the questions to be discussed with your own true thoughts, and avoid arrogance and frivolity. With regard to major issues of right and wrong, we must show our own stand and the socialist evaluation system, and we must not be ignorant of facts and reasons and ignore the consequences.
In 2023, there will be 16 colleges and universities, including Beijing Institute of Technology, Nankai University, Tianjin University, Dalian University of Technology, Harbin Institute of Technology, East China Normal University, Ocean University of China, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Hunan University, Central South University, South China University of Technology, Chongqing University, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Northwest A&F University, Lanzhou University, etc. It is worth considering for students with strong oral communication skills.
Sixth, the follow-up training of the strong foundation plan
The colleges and universities that enroll students in the Strong Foundation Program can arrange classes separately, equip them with first-class teachers, provide first-class learning conditions, create a first-class academic environment and atmosphere, and implement training modes such as tutor system and small classes. Smooth the channel of growth and development, for students with excellent academic performance, colleges and universities can give priority to recommending graduate students without examinations, direct doctoral degrees, public study abroad, scholarships, etc. Explore the establishment of a training model of undergraduate-master-doctoral articulation, and the cultivation of basic disciplines at the undergraduate level should consolidate the ability and literacy of basic disciplines, and the master's and doctoral stages can not only be further study in this discipline, but also explore interdisciplinary training. Promote the collaborative education of science and education, encourage national laboratories, state key laboratories, cutting-edge science centers, integrated research platforms and collaborative innovation centers to attract these students to participate in project research, and explore the establishment of a mechanism for talent training in combination with major scientific research tasks. Strengthen the quality assurance mechanism, establish a scientific and multi-stage dynamic entry and exit mechanism, and conduct a comprehensive examination and scientific diversion of students who enter the strong foundation plan. Establish a follow-up survey mechanism for current students and graduates and a talent growth database, continuously improve the training program and training mode according to quality monitoring and feedback information, and continuously improve enrollment and training.
In the four years since the implementation of the enrollment of the Strong Foundation Program, the professional career of students in the master's and doctoral stages has been the most concerned issue for teachers, students and parents of all sessions. 2023 is the year when the first batch of students who enter the university campus through the Strong Foundation Program will be able to connect to undergraduate and graduate schools. Recently, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xiamen University, Wuhan University, East China Normal University and other schools in 2020 have announced the admission list of the first batch of strong foundation candidates for master's and doctoral articulation. Strong Foundation students can transfer to aerospace, computer science and technology, artificial intelligence, ...... at the graduate levelThe emergence of these popular majors can firmly reassure parents who are concerned about the Strong Foundation Program! Next, let's take a look at the specific situation and give it a key reference for parents of high school students who want to go on to higher education through the Strong Foundation Program!
Judging from the results that have been announced, students majoring in mathematics at Xi'an Jiaotong University have the opportunity to study in the School of Artificial Intelligence, and there are also many strong foundation students who have studied in the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics. In general, strong foundation students have a wider choice of majors at the graduate and doctoral levels, not only focusing on basic disciplines, but also choosing many interdisciplinary disciplines of related majors, and even some can apply for majors in other colleges. It is worth noting that in addition to the majors and interdisciplinary majors of Wuhan University, Wuhan University's strong foundation students can also apply for any other majors that meet the "strong foundation positioning", which undoubtedly gives students great professional freedom, and the 2024 and 2025 senior high school students can be more confident when applying for the examination.
7. Re-examination and assessment of the strong foundation plan
Hu is a 2022 senior high school physics student from one of the four prestigious schools in Changsha, generally at the fifth level in his grade. It is also possible to go to Tsinghua University and Peking University with this score, but the family felt that it was necessary to protect their children, so they applied for the strong foundation program of Tsinghua University's basic science of mathematics and physics.
In the 2022 college entrance examination, many people have not performed well in the unprecedentedly difficult mathematics and the examination room with the strictest epidemic prevention. When the results of the college entrance examination came out, Hu scored 660 points, ranking 211 in Hunan Province, and there is still a gap of 9 points in this score if you want to be admitted to Tsinghua University naked.
It is gratifying that after Hu's last battle in the enrollment of the Strong Foundation Program, he successfully passed the written examination and interview of Tsinghua University, and got the admission ticket to Tsinghua University through the Strong Foundation Program. Winning back a game alive is the unique charm of the Qiangji plan in further education planning!
Of course, other pathways to further education, such as comprehensive evaluation admission, mainland enrollment of Hong Kong and Macao universities, and special plans for universities, can also produce magical effects as long as they are used properly. In a word, when we enter high school, we must be parents who are good at learning in order to plan a better future for our children!
Tips
The enrollment policy of the Strong Foundation Program will change every year, and the specific policy changes are subject to the Ministry of Education or the enrollment brochure of the Strong Foundation Program of the current year.
