A person's examination room touches people's hearts The hospital said that it is most worried about the sudden situation of candidates
"At first, I was very embarrassed and hesitant." Sun Aijun, vice president of Dalian Sixth People's Hospital, told the Voice of China that setting up a single examination room in the hospital is unprecedented, and after repeated discussions with the government, education and other departments, the hospital finally decided to take on this responsibility. "People go through many exams in their lifetime, but there are not many key exams." Sun Aijun said.
Dalian's single examination room was once on the hot search, and some netizens commented: The dream of the candidates is guarded by the whole city! In this regard, Sun Aijun responded that it has been a year since the fight against the epidemic, and he has never thought about the problem of hot search. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the exam, the hospital has done a lot of preparation. The health care provider first assesses the candidate's physical condition. "I am most worried about the sudden situation of the candidate, who is still a patient after all." Sun Aijun, worried that the candidates would be unwell during the high-stress exam, prepared first-aid equipment according to the most serious situation. Medical staff patrol the examination room, and the invigilator communicates with the candidates through surveillance video and walkie-talkies, which can not only ensure the health and safety of the teachers, but also give guidance to the candidates "without time difference". The transportation work after the completion of the examination papers is no different from the daily logistics transmission procedures of the hospital in the polluted area. "Our healthcare workers are used to this kind of standardized operation." Sun Aijun said.

"Shipping papers, checking papers, transmitting, answering questions... I've been monitoring before. Sun Aijun told the Voice of China that the news has a point of view.
"One person's examination room" has touched many people, but some netizens have questioned: Is it worth using so much power for one candidate? In this regard, Sun Aijun, vice president of Dalian Sixth People's Hospital, said that as long as we can do it, we must try our best to help candidates realize their dreams. If you miss this exam because of the epidemic, it may not only be the regret of the candidates, but also the regret of all of us.
No one can be less Dalian Education Development Center analyzes "5 national first appearances"

"Strive to never let any candidate be left behind, never let you miss!" Wang Ji said.
In addition to the "one-person examination room", there are 40 close contacts, key groups and other candidates who organize the examination separately in the isolated examination room. Due to the impact of the epidemic, 2 test centers and 119 test rooms have been added, and 304 candidates in the control area of Jinpu New District have organized examinations separately at alternate test centers.
Behind each examination room, there are many people who pay and work hard. Wang Ji told the Voice of China "News has a point of view" that in this work, he was impressed by the "5 first appearances in the country", namely the first appearance of the asymptomatic negative pressure ward examination for the infected, the first large-scale transfer examination of close contacts, the first appearance of the examination for the migration of candidates in the control area, the first large-scale adjustment of the examination arrangement 2 days before the examination, the first appearance of close contacts invigilator centralized isolation and the establishment of a temporary party branch.

Close contacts transported the exam, 40 special cars transported 40 key candidates point-to-point, and the backup test center was built overnight, without any delay. The 304 candidates in Jinpu New District changed to the "closed area examination", used Jinzhou Senior High School as an alternate test center overnight, and checked in 5 isolated hotels the day before the test, with single rooms and free food and accommodation.

With the approval of the Organization Department of the Ganjingzi District Committee of the CPC, a temporary party branch was established in the centralized isolation point, and the temporary party branch played a role "not temporary" in the face of the epidemic.
Chen Zhiwen, editor-in-chief of China Education Online, analyzed the "examination and research fever": in the future, graduate students will focus on cultivating application-oriented talents
The scale of graduate school enrollment in China is constantly expanding. Chen Zhiwen, editor-in-chief of China Education Online, told the Voice of China that the number of applicants for graduate school enrollment at major universities this year has not seen the surge we imagined. This is mainly due to the increase in support for student employment during the epidemic and a series of enrollment expansion policies adopted by the Ministry of Education. Although there has been no surge, in the past 5 years, the proportion of graduate students applying for the examination has also been a high growth, and the "examination and research fever" reflects the "employment difficulty" from one side. And from the perspective of the graduate student registration structure, the "surge" is concentrated in the humanities and social sciences major, Chen Zhiwen suggested that from the perspective of employment, candidates can give priority to science and engineering majors.
Chen Zhiwen introduced that in July this year, a national postgraduate work conference was urgently held, which was the first congress held in the name of the Party Central Committee. At the meeting, a repositioning was carried out for the cultivation of high-level talents. The meeting pointed out that it is necessary to expand the scale of doctoral degrees, stabilize the scale of masters, and emphasize the cultivation of applied talents in master's degrees, clearly saying that the recruitment of professional masters should reach 2/3, and doctoral education proposes a path from undergraduate direct to doctoral in the training of enrollment articulation. In other words, academic research is no longer dominated by masters, the focus will be on doctors, and masters will be oriented to professional application.
For the phenomenon of graduates of famous universities working at the grassroots level, many netizens expressed their incomprehension, believing that this is caused by too fierce competition, which is "internal volume". On this issue, Chen Zhiwen said that it is normal for masters, or even doctors, to work in streets, primary and secondary schools. Chen Zhiwen said: "Now when it comes to building a modern governance system, we must first start from the grass-roots level of street offices, and the core must rely on high-quality laborers. So why not take the first step in developed areas? And it is also a good thing that excellent college students are supplemented into basic education. Wu Yan, director of the Department of Higher Education, once said, "Our body has entered the popularization of higher education, but the ideological brain is still stuck in the era of elite education, this phenomenon is very much, and everyone has a serious misunderstanding of graduate students." I firmly believe that in every era there will be a group of young people with lofty ideals who will not hesitate to choose the position that he thinks is most beneficial to the country, regardless of the individual loss, and I don't think there is any need to worry. ”
