As a developed province on the eastern coast of my country, Jiangsu is not only economically developed, but also has been at the forefront of the country in science, education, culture and health. Speaking of college entrance examination education, Jiangsu has always been the weather vane for my country.
Once upon a time, Qidong Secret Papers were almost a must-have examination material for the college entrance examination. Although Qidong Middle School is not that famous now, 20 years ago, Qidong Middle School’s fame was not inferior to that of today’s Hengshui Middle School. The difficulty of Jiangsu's college entrance examination is praised by many people as the "purgatory mode". The Jiangsu internal draft, which is crowded with exams, makes many people frightened after seeing it. Now Jiangsu College Entrance Examination has also been added to the national paper, but the remaining subjects of Chinese, mathematics and foreign languages are still in the independent question setting stage. In addition to college entrance examination education, Jiangsu's higher education is also very strong.
From the perspective of having 11 211 and 16 double first-class universities, except for Beijing, it is not uncommon to place 211 in Jiangsu. Although there are many famous schools in Jiangsu, it does not have any advantages for Jiangsu candidates, because most of the 211 are universities under the ministry, and the admission ratio in Jiangsu is not inclined to the policy, and some universities are even at a low level. Therefore, for candidates in Jiangsu, the most practical thing is to get admitted to provincial colleges. When it comes to provincial colleges in Jiangsu, the best one is Suzhou University . Although Suda is a 211 university, it is not a university directly under the Ministry of Education, so the admission rate in Jiangsu is very high.
. Among the many ordinary provincial universities in Jiangsu, the university I want to introduce today is very ordinary among a number of Jiangsu colleges and universities, but this university has made rapid progress over the past decade. In order to upgrade to undergraduate, it once removed the "university" in the school and turned it into a "college". Now, after many years of upgrading from junior college to undergraduate, the school has been moving forward again towards its "university" dream. It is Xuzhou Engineering College located in Xuzhou, northern Jiangsu.
As an ordinary second-tier university, this university does not have the honorary halo of some universities, which is often the provincial and department of the Ministry of Education. The founding of Xuzhou Engineering College has a history of more than 60 years since 1959. The school was once a junior college and was upgraded to an undergraduate university in 2002, 20 years ago. The school is still working hard for the qualification to run a master's degree. As early as 2017, it had applied for a master's degree project in Jiangsu Province, and has not yet had the right to grant a master's degree.
The school now has 70 majors, including more than 20,000 students. Speaking of Xuzhou Engineering College, there was a famous name in the local area, " Pengcheng Vocational University ". The locals were abbreviated as "Pengcheng University". In 2002, they gave up the name of "university" because they upgraded to undergraduate degree and changed to Xuzhou Engineering College.
Xuzhou Institute of Technology was incorporated into Xuzhou Education College in 2007 during its development. Now the school has built and operated a new campus in Xuzhou Xincheng District . Judging from the situation of the new campus, it is very modern, and Xuzhou has also provided a lot of financial support to support the school to be upgraded to a university.
. For the subsequent school name after the university is promoted, it is not Pengcheng University but Xuzhou University. You can even see the Xuzhou University (under preparation) logo on the campus of the school. Although the school is making every effort to sprint to improve, we must face the reality, and there is still a long way to go before success.
The most direct indicator is that Xuzhou Engineering College has not yet conducted master's training. Whether it has undergone master's training and the time to obtain the master's award is an important indicator for the Ministry of Education to change the name and upgrade the university. Therefore, for Xuzhou Engineering College, its wish is very beautiful, but you must also move forward down-to-earth, so that it is possible to realize the dream of "Xuzhou University" in the near future. What do you think about this? Do you support or oppose the practice of actively changing names and upgrading schools in various types of schools?
