this also leaves a question for us to ponder: what kind of choice and guarantee should be made between employment reality and the use of talents?
recently, a "nanjing university of aeronautics and astronautics suzhou affiliated middle school temporary staff recruitment notice" showed that a 24-year-old physics graduate student was to be hired as a handyman at the school, sparking heated discussions among netizens. the school responded that since the person had not yet obtained a master's degree certificate, he was not qualified to be formally hired as a teacher. after seeing the school's handyman recruitment information, the person applied for the job in order to continue working on campus. after comprehensive consideration, the school plans to temporarily arrange for him to work as a physics teaching assistant in the physics teaching and research group after the public notice ends.
according to gusu evening news, the person in question passed the suzhou industrial park education system teacher recruitment assessment as a fresh graduate in june this year and became a candidate for recruitment, and entered the suzhou affiliated middle school of southern airlines for internship. however, due to reasons such as the lack of publication of the thesis, he has only obtained a postgraduate degree certificate and has not yet obtained a master's degree certificate, so he does not meet the park's teacher recruitment requirements.
according to the 2024 suzhou industrial park education system teacher recruitment announcement, it is indeed mentioned that fresh graduates applying for high school teacher positions should in principle have a master's degree or above (undergraduates from 985 and 211 universities can apply). previously, the school responded that it was a staff error and the applicants were actually undergraduates, and the announcement has been removed.
the party secretary of suzhou affiliated middle school of nanjing university of aeronautics and astronautics said that the school respects the person's employment choice and self-planning. the school has comprehensively considered the shortage of physics teachers and the excellent performance of the person during the internship, and has sought his opinion. after the public notice ends, it plans to temporarily arrange for him to work as a physics teaching assistant in the physics teaching and research group.
it is not clear whether this arrangement is due to the pressure of public opinion that "a master's degree holder is employed as a handyman" or because the school values ​​talent. the reason why the public is sensitive and concerned about this matter is largely due to the contrast between the two. judging from the recruitment requirements for handymen at the school, the position is a temporary contract system, and the requirements are "hardworking, fluent in mandarin, and male under 50 years old", etc. the overall threshold is not high. in the public's impression and expectations, a master's degree in physics should shine in scientific research positions and explore the unknown of mankind, rather than "bow his head and sweep the floor." therefore, it is questioned whether such a choice is "a waste of talent" and a waste of one's own talents and the cultivation of the country.
this mentality reflects people's desire for scientific progress, especially for physics exploration. however, we should realize that not all physics graduates can engage in cutting-edge physics research. engaging in physics teaching and educating people is also a manifestation of value and a way to apply what you have learned. however, the public's concerns about "talents being wasted" are not groundless. people hope that top students can better display their talents, which is also a way to cherish and respect talents.
looking at the choice made by the person concerned, he said that during his internship at the school, he was very satisfied with the atmosphere of the school and hoped to become a part of it. being able to stand on the podium is his life ideal, and he will work while waiting for the next opportunity. in this regard, some netizens believe that it may consume the physical strength and will of young people. some people said that this "curve to save the country" is based on the desire for a regular job and should not be encouraged to imitate. this also leaves a question for thought: between employment reality and the display of talent, what kind of choice and guarantee should be made?
