original title: why do universities introduce southeast asian ph.d.s in batches?
recently, a public list of doctoral candidates to be recruited by shanxi taiyuan preschool teachers college caused controversy on the internet. in the public list, most of the 10 graduates who entered the political review and physical examination were from universities in southeast asia. they were questioned as "water experts", and the talent introduction was also questioned as a serious "water injection".
judging from the public announcement, most of the 10 talents to be introduced are from the philippines and thailand, such as adamson university in the philippines, assumption university in thailand, shinawatra international university in thailand, christian university of the philippines, etc., and their majors cover art. , physical education and exercise, education, etc.
some "eagle-eyed" netizens discovered that this adamson university of the philippines is exactly that adamson university of the philippines - in july 2022, hunan shaoyang university caused controversy because it spent 18 million to introduce 23 ph.d.s from philippine universities. the institution that awarded these doctorates it is adamson university of the philippines. earlier in november 2021, the school had been included in the list of "strengthened certification review of academic degree certification" by the overseas study service center of the ministry of education.
it is not advisable to create a chain of academic qualifications simply based on the place where students study abroad. it is also unfair to label students from a certain study abroad place with a certain label. however, it is true that some universities in southeast asia have low admission thresholds, short academic courses, and loose management. although it is blameless to obtain a master's and doctorate title in a short and easy way, the "gold content" is ultimately difficult to convince the public. this is also the reason why southeast asian students are surrounded by negative comments such as "water master" and "water doctor".
at present, some domestic universities are becoming increasingly cautious about recruiting phds from southeast asia. many universities have clearly stipulated that in principle they will not recruit phds who graduated from universities in southeast asia, south korea and other countries with weak academic competitiveness and insufficient development potential. against this background, the list of taiyuan preschool teachers college is even more eye-catching.
in this talent introduction, as far as procedures and rules are concerned, there are currently no suspected violations. however, with such a high concentration of phds in southeast asia, it is difficult not to arouse public concern - does this talent introduction require phds? could it be that money was wasted and the effect was not achieved? in the opinion of many people, taiyuan preschool teachers college, as a full-time public kindergarten teacher talent college, should pay more attention to practical ability and experience when recruiting talents. at present, news about college graduates returning to vocational schools are common. for such a school, is it necessary to pursue a doctorate in this way, and also from southeast asia, which has a poor academic reputation?
from the school's perspective, this account is not difficult to calculate. although southeast asian ph.d.s have a poor reputation, they are still considered genuine returnee ph.d.s. their introduction can significantly improve the data indicators of the school’s teachers and create conditions for the school’s future upgrading and expansion, which means more educational resources. tilt and greater benefits. as for the effect of this talent introduction on teaching quality, it cannot be concisely attributed, and the consequences have to be waited and seen. in short, it is unknown. the pros and cons are obvious. therefore, some people pointed out that the school involved was obviously "taking shortcuts".
however, the blame cannot all be placed on the school. if the "baton" for evaluating a school refers to the number and proportion of "doctoral hats", then in order not to be eliminated, those who are in it can only accept the rules of the game and utilize them to the extreme. for the schools involved, their own appeal is limited. they must try their best to comply with the evaluation system and strive for more resources and support. introducing southeast asian ph.d.s with poor reputations has become a "shortcut". this is not meant to excuse the school involved, but it is meant to point out that the person who tied the bell must be the one who untied the bell. based on curiosity and attention to individual cases, systemic issues such as reforming the education evaluation system are more worthy of our consideration.
