The lack of project funds, the blog director dare not recruit students: beware of the "trapped by money"

Following the entrance examination heat, the examination Bo Ji is emerging. According to data, the graduate students in 2022 chose "domestic continuing learning" accounted for 11%, significantly higher than 4.3%in 2021. The reporter's investigation was discussed that the students were not easy to enroll students when they took the popularity, difficulties in the exam, and delayed graduation. Some mentors feel that the enrollment indicators are too small affecting scientific research output, while others suffer from insufficient funding and may have to pay for subsidies. How to further improve the quality of Chinese doctoral students and cultivate the quality, which is compatible with economic and social development. It is worthy of attention.

The lack of project funds, the blog director dare not recruit students

Not long ago, a blog director in a university in Nanjing, Jiangsu fell into the entanglement of "whether to recruit doctoral students": recruitment, to pay for the school for training, and then the school was issued to the doctoral student in the form of a subsidy. , No enrollment for a few years, the school may suspend their blogging qualifications or allocate enrollment places to other colleges.

Bo Director's recruitment is worried about money? Yuan Fei (pseudonym), a lecturer in Xiamen, Fujian, took his major as an example. A doctoral student received nearly 3,000 yuan a month, half of which was borne by the school, and the other half came from the funding of the school to the school. "After 4 years, it is 670,000 yuan.

It is understood that as early as 2007, some colleges and universities issued the provisions of "the instructor paid for the funding for graduate students or doctoral students." To this end, some mentors choose less enrollment or not enroll. The reporter's investigation found that in terms of "doctoral students' research funds", some of the topic funds who are not sufficient to fund are really under pressure.

Yuan Fei calculated the reporter for Banyue Talk. A liberal arts director who applied to the National Social Science Fund project, if the project funding is 200,000 yuan, deducting the management fee, there are about 170,000 yuan. Yuan, the remaining 110,000 yuan to cover the project for three or five years of the project can be described as stretched.

Some colleges will coordinate themselves for "not paying for funding". When the college level is difficult to cover, the school will "pocket". For bloggers, even if they are not eligible for blogging in the end, the entire process of urging the payment is still "damaged".

Of course, there are many bloggers who do not lack funds, and some people are calling for increasing doctoral indicators.

There is an alienated signs in the mentor and doctoral relationship

In some universities, there are no projects without projects, no fees and no enrollment. It is worthwhile that due to projects and funds, the relationship between some mentors and doctoral students has alienated signs.

—— Some of the wealth are thick, some are stretched.

Wang Jun (a pseudonym) of Nanjing Normal University Director Wang Jun said that for the cost of doctoral subsidies, "liberal arts tutors are stretched, and science and engineering tutors feel that Jiu Niu is a hair." Wang Jun's instructor once talked with an engineering science director to the project funding. The engineering science director said: "A liberal arts project of more than 200,000 yuan, and I just a project is 20 million yuan."

The reporter learned that although some liberal arts teachers can have many horizontal projects, such as government projects, do not worry about funding, but most liberal arts teachers mainly rely on vertical projects, such as the Ministry of Social Sciences, Education, and Provincial Social Sciences Project. This The bid rate of the project is low, the funds are small, and the end speed is slow. "Some old gentlemen simply do not recruit students, and find a young teacher who has no topic to help. It is better than doctoral students and spend less." Wang Jun said.

There are also doctoral students that some students who want to read the blog take the initiative to put forward the money themselves, making the mentor a bit embarrassed.

—— Some mentors feel like a "running project", and doctoral students feel like a "migrant worker".

Some college teachers said that science and engineering have so -called "big bosses" and "little boss", the former pays for money, and the latter contributes. "Little Boss" is mostly assistant professors and "green peppers" (the number of young teachers in colleges and universities). He is responsible for taking doctoral students and doctoral students. Some doctoral students of science and engineering can directly participate in the scientific research projects of Boszi, do experiments, write papers, apply for patents, etc., and can also bring a master's degree. And liberal arts, especially history, philosophy, etc., doctoral students can do limited in the scientific research projects of Bo Dao, such as data collection and sorting, doctoral students need to have academic literacy and ability under the academic training of Bo Dao. Teaching "relationship.

Zhou Hanmin, member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and vice chairman of the Shanghai CPPCC, admitted that Mr. Chen An, a professor of Xiamen University and a well -known international economist in his 90s, once reported to him and called for reform. Zhou Hanmin believes that this approach will cause serious damage to the relationship between teachers and students: as long as you have money, even if the academic level is average, you can obtain enrollment qualifications, which will lead to more energy in the direction of Bo Dao. Calm down to learn. This system is more likely to cause anti -elimination in humanities and basic disciplines.

Make doctoral education more academic content

Four "double first -class" universities doctoral posts in the grass -roots level, and doctors of Chinese and foreign universities have "tied" on the publicity list of recruitment in middle schools ... In recent years, the occupation choices of some doctoral graduates have attracted attention.

Related data show that the number of doctoral enrollment in my country in 2022 will exceed 130,000, and about 560,000 doctoral students. At the same time, the Boszi team is also expanding. Even if the doctoral students continue to expand, the teacher ratio is still decreasing. In 2010, it was 4.37: 1, and declined to 3.68: 1 in 2018.

In 1999, my country's doctoral supervisor's review right was put into the training unit. Although the blogger is not a title, in fact, it has become a titled titles higher than the professor and lower than the academician. Many teachers will become the target of Bo Dao as the goal of struggle. In addition, many universities will increase doctoral authorization points and multiple doctoral students as high -level symbols, continuously expand the blogging team, and will increase the evaluation of bloggers every year. When it comes to scientific research results, some colleges and universities are no longer talking about academic original values, but first look at the subject, the fund, and how to get the funds. Some students are just because they have not found a job to read the blog. In fact, they do not like or plan to do scientific research. "In order to apply for the project of the project, the academic enthusiasm is definitely a low -minded academic enthusiasm for the doctoral of the project," said a college scholar.

Expansion should be more important. As the former president of Tsinghua University Wang Dazhong said many years ago, doctoral enrollment must consider social needs, scientific research input, mentor power, and school conditions, etc., and strengthen macro -controls on the scale of doctoral education. At the same time, it is necessary to improve the quality of doctoral training and promote the coordinated development of doctoral education scale, quality, and structural benefits.
