Stress is a source of motivation, and many college students enrich their college life by pursuing various certifications and setting learning goals for themselves. This may seem effective on the surface, but without good planning, blindly pursuing a certificate can lead to a significant loss of effectiveness.
At present, in addition to the English test and the computer level test of level 4 and 6, the most popular certificate for college students is the teacher qualification certificate. In particular, non-education students have also been preparing for the exam, fearing that with the advancement of the UGC reform, non-education majors will not be able to apply for the examination and miss the opportunity to become teachers.
In the face of the implementation of the double reduction policy, the teacher qualification certificate has become a necessary condition for engaging in educational work, whether it is a teacher in the school or a teacher in an extracurricular tutorial class, must hold a certificate to work. Even college students who want to work part-time as tutors will be in violation of the rules if they do not have the corresponding educational qualifications.
With the rise of the examination preparation craze, many graduating college students want to take the recruitment examination, and the UGC examination has become their first step into the education industry. Full-time undergraduate non-education majors do not have to wait until graduation to apply for the exam in their junior year, so many students are taking UGC-related courses in addition to their majors.
To obtain the UGC, you also need to pass the Putonghua level test first, and then learn education knowledge from scratch. There are more non-teacher training students in the classes at the teachers' colleges, and students who are enrolled in classes outside the school are also trying to get their certificates as soon as possible. However, there are not many cases in which the UGC is actually used after graduation, and many students end up finding that their efforts seem to be a lot of work but not necessarily rewarded in substance.
The UGC interview is not too complicated, but the pass rate of the written examination is only about 30%, which is quite challenging for non-education students to pass in one go. Zhang Xuefeng called on college students not to blindly pursue teacher qualification certificates, and suggested that they should spend more time studying courses related to their majors, and they can obtain professional qualification certificates or grade certificates corresponding to their majors.
If you don't plan to pursue a career in education after graduation, then the UGC certificate is not useful. Even if you want to become a teacher, just having a teaching certificate is not enough. At present, students majoring in teacher training may not be able to easily pass the recruitment exam, let alone those who are not majoring in teacher training. At best, you can only apply for a part-time tutor, and there is little help in other areas.
Teacher Zhang Xuefeng suggested that college students should choose those relatively "professional" and essential certificates if they want to take the certificate, without which they cannot engage in related industries, or they cannot apply for the examination without their majors, and the pass rate is low. Having such a certificate is a substantial help for employment, and at the same time, it can also guarantee a relatively high level of income.
Most of these certificates correspond to the student's major, and it is not easy to obtain them across majors. Therefore, relatively speaking, the value of the UGC certificate that can be applied for in any major is not high. It is better to devote your time to learning UGC from scratch than to deepen your major, and as long as you can reach the elite level, regardless of whether the major is popular or not, you don't have to worry about finding employment. This is the way for college students to take the correct examination.
In addition to the certificate of this major, college students must also take the certificate of English level 4 and 6. The reason why students actively apply for the examination in the past is mainly because it is linked to the issuance of graduation certificates, degree certificates, research guarantees, and evaluations. While some colleges and universities are now announcing the removal of these hooks, ostensibly reducing the pressure on students, they are actually missing out on a good opportunity for students to develop English learning habits.
In order to pass the CET-4 and CET-6 exams, students need to continuously consolidate their English proficiency. Without this test, many students may neglect their English studies and wait until the time for graduate school to rush to deal with it, which will add a lot of stress. In the job interview, I don't know much about English, and it is difficult to cope with the previous study, no matter how rich my previous learning is.
Another important skill is a motor vehicle driver's license, which is not usually offered in schools. However, for students, having a driver's license is a necessity. During the relatively relaxed time during college, getting a driver's license will go more smoothly. Graduates with a driver's license also get extra points when applying for jobs, which brings convenience in life even if they are not used at work.
Finally, it should be said that the current fresh graduates are facing the dilemma of unemployment after graduation, which is not only related to the employment environment, but also closely related to the learning attitude of college students during school. Some students begin to slack off at the university level, only pursuing passing grades, neglecting to study in depth in their field.
Some students seem to work the surface, but they just feel good about themselves, broad but not precise, and do not learn solidly in their majors, but they spend time and energy to pursue a series of certificates with low gold content. This kind of learning method is difficult to win the favor of recruiters.
Students who are successfully employed often have clear learning goals long before the college entrance examination. They will fill in the volunteers in a targeted manner, and stick to their plans throughout their college years, and will not be easily influenced by external public opinion. If you put all your energy into one field, you will definitely be able to take the lead and achieve precision employment.
