I would like to know the recruitment status of Xiamen University’s ethnic minority backbone program in 2012. I am a Xinjiang Corps candidate’s application for journalism at Xiamen University.

1. Policy introduction

The high-level ethnic minority cadre training plan (hereinafter referred to as the young cadre plan) is a plan for the five ministries to implement the party’s ethnic policies, the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education, and the development of the western region. major strategic move. Starting from 2006, it is planned to spend five years cultivating a group of highly educated ethnic minority professionals in the west. The training schools will be "211" or above key universities, and the students will come from the western provinces and municipalities. In accordance with the requirements of "targeted enrollment, targeted training, and targeted employment", special policies and measures such as "unified examinations and appropriate score reductions" are adopted to recruit new students. Graduates are required to find employment in targeted areas and units according to targeted training and employment agreements. The service period for master's degree is 5 years and for doctoral degree is 8 years. The funding is subject to the funding policy for postgraduate students in central universities.

As for a more detailed introduction, students can refer to the relevant official documents of the Department of Ethnic Education on the website of the Ministry of Education, where interprofessional teachers have made some additions to certain aspects of this plan.

First of all, the most frequently asked question is about the five-year period of this plan. Starting from 2006, the implementation period of the "Work Less Plan" is in principle five years. Most people also believe that five years is only the first phase of the plan. It is highly likely that the second and third phases of the plan will be followed for the following reasons. : First, in the current severe employment situation, the expansion of postgraduate enrollment has become a reality. While the country is increasing the number of professional master’s enrollment, it will not ignore the role of the work-less program. Moreover, although our country’s economy is on the rebound, the real recovery and complete solution to the problem of college students’ The employment issue cannot be solved in a short time. Second, judging from the background of the plan, since it is a major measure for the development of the western region, it must have long-term effectiveness, because only by adhering to the talent plan for a long time and uninterruptedly can the strategy of the western development be successfully completed. , I believe that the central decision-making body will not miss this point. Third, the training base shows signs of long-term construction. This news comes from our teachers, so I won’t go into details here.

In addition, regarding employment issues after graduation, graduates must work in targeted areas and units according to the targeted training and employment agreement. The service period for master's degree is 5 years, and the service period for doctoral degree is 8 years. Many students do not understand this sentence. This means that when we obtain the qualifications to register for the Young Cadres Program, we must sign a contract agreement with the entrusting training unit (the terms of the agreement are attached to the Young Cadres Qualification Registration Form). The agreement will clearly state: "I agree to When you graduate, your graduation certificate and degree certificate will be handed over to the training unit for safekeeping until you complete the service period of five or eight years. "This is why we go back to our hometown to work. The idea of ??liquidated damages is not very practical. Since the country is willing to spend money to train you, it is not just to make you pay liquidated damages.

II. Conditions and procedures for applying for this program

(1) Place of origin: students are from 12 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities in the west (Chongqing, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia, Guangxi, and Guizhou , Yunnan, Tibet, Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia, Xinjiang), Hainan Province, Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, 4 ethnic autonomous areas of Hebei, Liaoning, Jilin, and Heilongjiang provinces, Hunan Xiangxi Autonomous Prefecture, Zhangjiajie (one county and two districts enjoying the Western Policy) , Hubei Enshi Autonomous Prefecture, teachers and managers of Tibetan classes in mainland China, high school classes in mainland Xinjiang, ethnic colleges, preparatory training bases for ethnic minorities in colleges and universities, and basic ethnic master’s training bases.

It should be noted that the identity is determined by the location of your original household registration. For example, you are a student of the Tujia Nationality in Enshi Prefecture, Hubei Province, but you are currently studying in Beijing and your household registration has been transferred to Beijing. You are still eligible to apply for this program. The enrollment units of this program are all very good schools. You can choose which one to apply for based on your specific situation.

(2) Candidates’ academic qualifications must meet one of the following conditions:

Fresh undergraduate graduates with nationally recognized academic qualifications;

Bachelor’s degree from a nationally recognized university Persons with academic qualifications;

After obtaining a nationally recognized vocational college diploma, it has been two or more years (from September 1 of the year after graduating from a vocational college to being admitted as a master's student, the same below) ), those who have reached the same academic level as undergraduate graduates and meet the specific business requirements set by the admissions unit for candidates based on the unit’s training objectives;

Undergraduate graduates with nationally recognized academic qualifications and fresh undergraduates from adult universities Graduates, apply based on the same academic level as undergraduate graduates;

Those who have obtained master's or doctoral degrees.

For other conditions, please refer to the admission brochure. There is a lot of similar information online. Many students have asked me whether Han students can apply for the exam. I can only use examples around me to illustrate. Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications' "Shaogan" master's training base has more than 700 people at a time, and the number of Han students among them is no less than 20. This is consistent with the policy's requirement that "Han nationality cannot exceed 10%." However, some colleges and universities are still more cautious about the Han nationality in the "Shaoqian Plan". Candidates can inquire about the specific situation in advance and contact the school directly. As long as you obtain the Shaoqian verification code, the province has confirmed you If you are qualified to apply for this program, the school will generally not embarrass you.

In addition, many students are worried about the issue of fresh graduates and working candidates in school. They think that the "lesser-cadre plan" is for working candidates, and the admission targets are mainly working candidates. This is actually a Wrong understanding. The number of on-the-job candidates in the training base where I am located is very limited. It is estimated that they only account for 30% of the total number of students. Most of them are fresh graduates.

Application Procedure

The first step is to confirm the school you are applying for. Of course, choosing a school you like must be based on actual conditions. Each school has unique circumstances. When choosing, you should collect as much information as possible and consult with senior brothers and sisters. It is best to carefully study the "little requirements" of the school you are applying for. According to the enrollment brochure of “STEP Plan”, it is certain that the enrollment units of this plan are all first-class schools.

The next step is the most important registration step. Applying for this program requires a verification code, so obtaining this verification code is the key. Generally, you need to bring your ID card, student ID card and its copy, Shaoqian registration form (download from the website of the provincial education department), and your current household registration location. (only for current students, mainly to prove that you can graduate successfully), just go to the education department of your province to apply. If you want to entrust someone to apply, you will also need a power of attorney. Generally, you need to use your ID card, student ID card, household registration certificate, and school certificate. After proving your identity, the relevant department will stamp your Shaoqian registration form, and then you can take the stamped form to receive the verification code.

The third step is online registration and on-site confirmation. Log in to the China Postgraduate Admissions Information Network to register, fill in your personal information and application information correctly, select the Less Work Plan in the candidate category, and then fill in the verification code. After registration is completed, the school will generally have a fixed time for on-site confirmation and payment.

The last step is the exam. The exam questions are the same as those on the Unified Examination.

After confirming the admission, you must sign an employment agreement in triplicate. After filling it out, go to the Provincial Department of Education to sign and seal it, and then get it signed and sealed by the school. The school will give you a copy of the sealed agreement. Send it to your provincial education department and send one copy to the candidate himself.

3. About applying for schools and admission scores

There are two main reasons why the "Little Cadre Plan" attracts many candidates to apply. First, there is no need to pay tuition, and the tuition for graduate students is very low. It's expensive, and it would be very painful if you don't get a scholarship. Many talented people apply for the backbone program precisely for economic reasons. On the other hand, the requirements for English scores are very low. The national English score requirement for the "Young Cadre Program" is 35 points. Except for some schools in the south and Beijing that have higher English requirements, they generally only require 35 points. It is for this reason that another group of talented people in the university who have always struggled with English will choose this program.

Although all the schools that implement the "Little Cadre Plan" are first-rate schools, different schools have different requirements.

Many people think that the "Do Less" plan only requires very low scores to get into a good university for graduate school. Indeed, we often hear rumors that someone got into a prestigious school with only a score of more than 250. I don't think so. I deny that some students did get into good universities with very low scores, but I need to remind everyone that firstly, this plan may not be well publicized in the early days, so few people know about it, and the national plan enrollment quota is not fixed. Yes, unified recruitment candidates are not allowed to be transferred to this plan, so as long as candidates apply, they can generally pass the exam. As this plan continues to develop, more and more people apply, and the competition pressure becomes more and more intense. Second, it is very difficult to get into a good major in a first-class university. For example, the Guanghua School of Management at Peking University through the "Key Plan" and the Administrative Management major at the Renmin University of China require very high scores. What's the difference? Of course, the total scores for the postgraduate entrance examination are almost almost 300 points. Therefore, we must view the Less Work Plan correctly. Do not relax your requirements just because you have applied for a special program. During the review and preparation process, you must forget that you are applying for the Less Work Plan, and treat it as seriously as a unified recruitment candidate. Review every day.

As for the admission scores and the school's attitude towards this plan, different schools and colleges have different situations. For example, in 2009, Sun Yat-sen University School of Law admitted four students in the "Young Cadre Program", with the highest total score being 369 points and the lowest score being 315 points. It should also be noted that many schools do not recruit students according to quotas in each province, but based on their academic performance. Therefore, the number of "less than cadres" in Inner Mongolia and Hunan provinces has exceeded 100 every year in recent years. Based on the experience of some students across majors, I personally think that the schools that are more difficult to take the exam include: Renmin University of China, Tsinghua University, Peking University, Fudan University, Sun Yat-sen University, etc., especially related majors.

4. Re-examination

Compared with the preliminary examination, the re-examination is obviously still far away from us, and although we have always emphasized that the re-examination is important, it is only for those who have passed the preliminary examination. That said, the re-examination for Shaoqian is slightly different from the re-examination for unified admission. Some schools take into account the specific situation of "Shaoqian" candidates, and the questions asked in the interview will be relatively simple, but some schools will not ask you questions just because you are a Shaoqian. He is a candidate and shows mercy to you, and the questions he asks are particularly tricky. For example, some universities will ask questions like: "What is the content of Article 127 of the Criminal Law?" "What is the difference between the theory of cause and the theory of no cause? And use the theory of no cause to analyze a case." "Analyzing the nature of civil deception." etc. The English interview was to translate an excerpt of a paper on the ADR system, and there was no self-introduction or any non-professional questions. The whole process was extremely serious. However, a student who once applied for Shanghai Jiao Tong University felt that their interview was very relaxed and the questions asked were relatively simple, such as what is the family's financial situation, how is university life, what is the dissertation, what are your views on the Olympics, etc. wait. English speaking test is also an everyday language. Therefore, the content of retests in different schools is different, and even in the same school, the retests in different colleges may be different. Therefore, candidates should ask their senior brothers and sisters before taking the exam to prepare in advance.

5. Training base

The ethnic minority cadre program requires an additional year of basic training on the basis of the normal graduate school system. In other words, candidates who are admitted to the young cadre program After graduate school, you will not go to the school you applied for in the first year. Instead, you will be arranged to go to six universities designated by the Ministry of Education for basic training. During the training period, you will not be exposed to professional courses, mainly training in English and Chinese. For example, this semester we have arranged courses such as English, classical literature, information technology, history of Chinese thought, history of Western culture, ethnic theoretical knowledge, advanced mathematics, history of mathematics, etc. Of course, different bases arrange different courses.

6. Employment

Graduate students who graduated from the High-Level Ethnic Minority Key Program need to pay attention to the following employment opportunities:

First of all, after graduating from school, you must return to work for five years in a place designated by the Department of Education with which you signed a contract. , if you fail to perform the contract, you will be liable for breach of contract.

Secondly, the government does not arrange work when you return to your hometown, and there is no similar provision in the contract. Moreover, in such a severe employment situation, you can generally only rely on your own efforts. I personally think that the country's policy is very targeted. This policy is to train some high-quality talents for minority areas to build the region.

The relatively backward situation in ethnic minority areas is obvious to all. In order to build a harmonious society, the significance of the young cadre program is very important. Therefore, since the government spends a lot of money to train a talent, then it must We will not let it fend for itself. Even if it is temporarily difficult to take care of, I believe it will be resolved within a relatively short period of time.
