Signing a fake agreement and stamping a fake seal, the employment rate of colleges and universities is faked into an open ＂secret＂
During this year’s college graduation season, reporters interviewed in many colleges and universities in Gansu, Heilongjiang, Fujian and other provinces learned that, driven by interests, the employment rate "water injection" has become a hidden rule in some colleges and universities, which may lead to the education department’s misjudgment of major setting and enrollment plan. It is imperative to reform the traditional employment statistics method, introduce new evaluation indicators such as salary level and the matching between post and major, and establish a scientific employment evaluation system for college students.
According to some college teachers and students who are in charge of employment, there is a phenomenon that employment is rigidly linked with graduation certificates and registration certificates in some colleges and universities, and there is a problem of "water injection" in employment rates such as signing fake agreements and stamping fake seals. "In order to improve the employment rate, some schools guide unemployed students to sign quickly, and students can find a unit to write a letter in order to complete the task and get a diploma." A college employment guidance teacher in Gansu, who did not want to be named, revealed that some colleges and universities also count employment internships as employment, as long as students can "find a place to stamp" as employment.
"In some colleges and universities, the employment rate fraud is an open secret, and everyone does not mention it in public, but students and colleges know that there are problems." The person in charge of the Admissions and Employment Office of a university in Heilongjiang told the reporter that sometimes a tripartite agreement is signed, and the school or parents help to contact the enterprise and directly tell the other party to help sign dozens of people. The students’ hukou and personnel files are not used in the past, and they are all signed by the school. Students don’t have to work in the enterprise. "Even some colleges and universities fill in flexible employment forms themselves. In order to cope with the inspection by the competent authorities, the verification phone number filled in is also the school teacher’s own phone number."
Experts believe that on the one hand, the adulteration of employment rate encourages the wind of exaggeration and false reporting, which directly affects the social reputation of colleges and universities, affects graduates’ feelings and trust in their alma mater, and on the other hand, affects candidates’ understanding of the real situation of the schools they apply for. What’s more, it will lead to misjudgment when the education authorities adjust the specialty setting and enrollment plan, which is not conducive to the improvement of the quality of talent training in colleges and universities.
The reporter’s investigation found that the reason why colleges and universities try their best to pursue high employment rate is mainly because the competent departments will report the employment rate statistically, which is directly related to the social evaluation of colleges and universities and the quality of students. "The employment rate is an important measure of the adjustment of the enrollment plan and the quality of running a school. Students attach great importance to the employment rate index when applying for the exam." A college teacher said that the employment rate has a direct impact on the indicators of college enrollment plan, and it is very stressful for some colleges and universities to reduce the enrollment plan.
A semi-monthly interview with reporters found that with the increasing popularity of higher education in China, the employment of college graduates has diversified, and a single employment evaluation index with the employment rate as the core is no longer enough to reflect the actual employment situation of college students.
First, there are "slow employment groups" in colleges and universities. It is common in colleges and universities all over the country that some fresh graduates have a weak desire for employment. Industry experts admit that the mentality of "post-90 s" graduates has changed significantly. Some of them are active in thinking and have less pressure on life, and often postpone employment, which will directly affect the initial employment rate of the school.
Second, the employment methods of college students are diversified. For example, art students can’t get their employment agreement back if they open their own studios; Students who start their own businesses but are not shareholders can’t get the supporting documents containing the shareholders’ confirmation … … "Now the employment methods are more diversified, such as Wechat business, e-commerce and other occupations. It is impossible to define employment or no employment in the traditional way." Teacher Sun said.
Third, there is no employment agreement but there are employment facts. According to the teachers in charge of employment in colleges and universities, some small and medium-sized enterprises are unwilling to sign employment agreements and labor contracts with college students in order to reduce the risks and costs of employing people, and often have to wait until the students have passed the trial after graduation. This situation is becoming more and more common, which directly affects the statistics of the initial employment rate in colleges and universities, resulting in the untrue employment rate.
According to industry experts, the original intention of the education department to announce the employment rate of college graduates is to promote the reform and employment of colleges and universities and improve the quality of teaching. At present, the employment evaluation index of most colleges and universities is the one-time employment rate of graduates, which can only roughly reflect the employment situation of college students and cannot reflect the employment quality of college students.
Establish a scientific employment evaluation system
Relevant people believe that it is imperative to change the employment evaluation method with employment rate as the single criterion and establish a scientific employment evaluation system for college graduates under the new situation.
The first is to introduce the salary level of college students, the matching between posts and majors, welfare and social security into the employment evaluation system. Besides counting the employment rate, the education department should also pay attention to the employment quality of college students. At the same time, the education department should also establish a graduate employment tracking system, improve the quantitative data such as job-hopping frequency, professional coincidence and employment level, and enhance the reference and guidance of employment evaluation.
The second is to evaluate the diversification of college students’ employment, change the statistical object of the current employment rate, and make statistics and evaluation on different groups such as fresh graduates, self-employed graduates and "slow employment" graduates with employment will.
Third, squeeze out the "moisture" of the false high employment rate, introduce a third-party evaluation agency to count the employment rate, and make detailed analysis and feedback on the employment quality, so as to provide a scientific basis for schools to improve employment and teaching. At the same time, we can establish verification systems and standards by means of telephone verification and student sample sampling to ensure the authenticity of the employment rate.
