Yesterday, the 2023 national master's degree examination officially kicked off. According to data from the Guangdong Provincial Education Examination Authority, the number of candidates taking the exam in Guangdong this year reached 276,500. On the first day of the examination, the candidates confidently stepped into the examination room under the warm winter sun. The all-media reporters from Guangzhou Daily came to multiple test sites such as South China University of Technology and Jinan University to directly observe the real-life situation at the test sites.
The test center is well organized.
Yesterday around 7:30 in the morning, there were more candidates on the dedicated channel for entering the Jinan University test center. The reporter saw at the scene that the candidates consciously maintained a safe distance of one meter in line and entered the test center in an orderly manner. On-site prompts remind candidates in line from time to time to "wear a mask and show your admission ticket and ID card." A volunteer service point is also set up on the side of the entrance of the examination center, providing pens, chocolates, masks and other items for candidates in need.
Guangdong University of Finance and Economics test center allows candidates to enter the campus starting from 7 a.m. Candidates can enter the test center with their admission ticket, valid resident ID card, Guangdong Health Code , "Healthy Test Commitment", and wearing a mask.
Since multiple processes such as electronic sentries and security gates and have been set up this year, multiple test sites remind candidates to arrive at the test center 60 minutes before the start of the test and reserve enough time to cooperate with the test center staff for admission verification.
"I'm going to go back and take a nap to recuperate for the afternoon exam." At 11:30 noon, the first exam ended. At the South China University of Technology exam center, a senior candidate studying at Huazhong University of Technology told reporters.
"Originally, I was in the examination room in Building 33. Later, when I checked, I found that it had been changed to Building 34, so I reprinted the admission ticket. It had no impact." Xiao Cheng is a working candidate and graduated from Chongqing Jiaotong University in June this year. This is his " World War II " postgraduate entrance examination. As a native of Guangzhou, he is preparing to take the energy and power major of Hunan Engineering. "I started preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination again after work. This time I feel quite relaxed. If I perform well in the professional courses tomorrow, I should be able to get on board this year."
The busy "Dabai" invigilator
Guangzhou Huangpu Vocational and Technical School ranked first this year Under the coordination of the Huangpu District Education Bureau, a total of more than 110 teachers from our school and teachers from other schools joined the examination team. However, just one day before the exam, several teachers became "positive" and were unable to participate in the examination work. The school issued a notice overnight and quickly received a positive response from the teachers.
"It's not easy for everyone. It's touching to grit your teeth and hold on." Xiang Xudong, the school's academic director, revealed that many teachers served as invigilators in special examination rooms for the first time, and the schedule was quite tight. At around 6 a.m. on the 24th, they began to stand by wearing "Dabai" protective suits. At 11:30 a.m., the first exam ended, and they immediately disinfected and sealed the test papers. After a series of procedures were completed, it was already 12:30 noon. At this time, they needed to take off the protective suits and disinfect immediately. After a hurried lunch, they put on protective clothing again, and were all in place at 1 p.m., fully on duty for the second exam.
Xiang Xudong said that the greater difficulty was that the examination room for the first examination had to be temporarily adjusted according to emergencies. For example, if a candidate suddenly became "positive", he would need to go to a special examination room to take the examination. In the end, all 10 special examination rooms prepared by the examination center were full, and a backup isolation examination room was activated.
considerate service escorts candidates
It is reported that the South China University of Technology examination center has set up 259 examination rooms this year, with a total of 7,645 candidates taking the examination. The school dispersed the examination rooms to different areas on different campuses to reduce the gathering of people, and also prepared a large amount of anti-epidemic materials such as protective clothing, masks, and disinfectants. Outside the examination room in the south area of Huagong Wushan Campus, the reporter saw 13 simple awnings and multiple testing channels set up on the site.
According to reports, in order to ensure the smooth and safe conduct of the exam, South China University of Technology has invested nearly a thousand staff in invigilation and security.During the exam that morning, a candidate fell in the corridor due to hypoglycemia. On-site medical staff and examination room staff arrived in time to diagnose, treat, bandage and provide medicine. In addition, the school has opened multiple canteens to provide lunch to candidates. For candidates who do not meet the conditions for dining in the canteen, the school has also set up lunch sales points in buildings near the examination room.
Guangdong University of Finance and Economics Guangzhou Campus uses the second student canteen as the designated dining canteen for candidates. Candidates are encouraged to bring their own dry food to the exam. Candidates are not encouraged to eat in the canteen. Candidates are recommended to pack their food and take it out of the canteen to eat, and try not to wait or stay in the canteen.
reporters learned from Sun Yat-sen University that the school's logistics and general affairs department had found out the basics in advance. In addition to opening the school canteen for candidates from other schools to eat, they also set up special meal stations for special examination rooms and prepared different nutritional packages for candidates to choose from, ensuring that all candidates can have meals on time and on time.
The province has arranged nearly 10,000 examination rooms.
17,000 candidates have borrowed their exams from other places.
