To abolish the political examination of postgraduate students to recommend whether the political exam benefits outweigh the disadvantages?
In the Zhou and view, the educational system is "more or less relevant" in many reasons that our country's major scientific and technological originality is far from enough. "Under the existing education system, students are too biased in absorbing, imitating and tracking, but lack of independent thinking." Zhouzhong said that the existing problems in China's education system have a direct impact on the creative ability of the scientific and technical personnel developed under the system.
To this end, he suggested that more reference should be made to the recommendations of university teachers, combined with the university years of a student's ideological and political quality assessment, and then through the graduate entrance interview to be judged. Rote memorization often leads to high scores, but does not represent true competence and ideological and political level. ”
Referring to the experience of postgraduate entrance examination in developed countries, Zhou and believes that in order to better select excellent and qualified undergraduates for postgraduate study, we may consider using "basic ability Test" instead of ideological and political theory examination.
