In 2017, the number of graduate applicants surpassed the 2 million mark for the first time, reaching 2.01 million. In 2021, the number of postgraduate applicants will reach 3.77 million, an increase of 87.6%.
The “National Graduate Admissions Survey Report 2021” published by China Education Online shows that the current great enthusiasm for graduate admission exams is related to China’s economic transition. Especially under the influence of the new corona pneumonia epidemic this year, employment pressure has increased, with newer graduates and former students choosing to take graduate entrance exams to ease job pressure and improve their competitiveness.
In the composition of candidates, the proportion of former students has increased rapidly, the main reason is that former students are dissatisfied with their current professional situation and want to improve their competitiveness through graduate school and obtain better job returns.
The proportion of female students in graduate school has steadily increased. In 1999, the country enrolled 26,000 postgraduate women, representing 36.5% of the total number of graduate students. Since 2009, the number of registered teachers has exceeded that of men. In 2019, the number of Master’s degree students enrolled was 447,000, representing 55.1%.
At the same time, China’s graduate enrollment scale is also expanding. Over the past 10 years, the average annual growth rate of enrollment for master’s students has reached 6% and that of doctoral students has been around 5.5%. In 2020, the enrollment of graduate students will increase by 189,000 and the number of enrollments will exceed 1.1 million.
According to statistics, in the enrollment plan of “double first-class” construction universities in 2021, more than 67% of first-class university construction universities and more than 77% of discipline construction universities of First class have their enrollment plans for 2021. Among them, there is no shortage of universities like Fudan University that have grown to more than 1,000 people.
Since the large-scale start of enrollment for professional masters in 2009, the current enrollment scale has exceeded 60% of total postgraduate enrollment. The “Professional Degrees Graduate Education Development Plan (2020-2025)” clearly states that the proportion of professional teachers will reach two-thirds by 2025.
Since the Ministry of Education issued the “Notice on How to Do a Good Job on Doctoral Enrollment. Postgraduates in 1981”, the enrollment scale of PhD students in China has continued to grow and the annual enrollment scale has exceeded the mark of 100,000. In 2019, the number of doctoral registrations reached 105,169. Engineering doctors, clinical medicine doctors, education doctors and other medical professionals are the key areas for the recent expansion.
Part-time graduate students have been cold since they were admitted to the unified exam in 2017. The main reason for this phenomenon is that the uniform marking has raised the entry threshold, as well as job discrimination, leading to a cold license plate. The “Notice on How to Do a Good Job in Employment and Entrepreneurship for National College Graduates 2021” issued by the Ministry of Education clearly requires that learning methods are not used as restrictive conditions. With the continuous advancement of graduate education reform, the cultivation of high-level applied talents is strengthened, and the enrollment unit optimizes the enrollment scheme, and part-time education will become an important part of graduate degrees. professionals.
The student exemption has always been the preferred method of enrollment in excellent colleges. In recent years, the number of recruits exempted from enrollment units has also increased. Overall, the share of tuition waivers is basically around 15%.
Following the National Graduate Education Conference, the reform of graduate enrollment will also be fully promoted. Reform measures have been successively implemented such as optimization of initial examination subjects, strengthening of re-examination evaluation, improvement of the evaluation mechanism for doctoral applications and increasing the intensity of graduate students, with the aim of to further improve the quality of graduate students to meet China’s demand for high-level talent in the new situation.
