Former Hsinchu Mayor Lin Zhijian’s “paper gate” incident revealed that the enrollment review of the in-service master’s in-service specialty classes in Taiwan was too loose. The education authorities of the Taiwan authorities recently issued a document to universities that students who apply to enter the master’s specialty classes under the “Wu Baochun clause” must first be reviewed by external experts to avoid abuse. However, some university presidents warned that if they continue to use comparison tools to test the past papers of politicians, "many people will not be able to pass the test" and social unrest will be difficult to stop.
Wu Baochun is wearing a master's robe
Taiwan's "Zhongshi News Network" reported that in 2013, only the world-class baker Wu Baochun who graduated from junior high school could not enter the in-service specialty class of senior management of Taiwan's top universities. Therefore, the education authorities set the "Wu Baochun Terms" so that people with outstanding achievements in professional fields can apply for the master's class. Nantou County Speaker He Shengfeng recently revealed that he graduated from elementary school and later obtained a master's degree from Asian University , which was used by the "Wu Baochun Terms".
The education authorities of Taiwan recently issued a document from all universities, requiring a check on the status of entering the master's specialty class under the "Wu Baochun clause". If candidates want to enroll in this clause in the future, the school should invite scholars and experts from relevant fields to review professionally and then submit them to the school-level admissions committee for discussion and confirmation; if it is all promiscuous, the qualification to apply this flexible admission regulations will be disqualified.
Wu Dongxing, president of Jinan University in Taiwan, said that starting three years ago, all master and doctoral thesis published by Taiwanese students had to be compared with a system to avoid plagiarism, but there was no such standard before. If we still use the comparison system to test the papers of politicians in the past, many people will not be able to pass the test, so he believes that we should not compare endlessly.
Wu Dongxing also said that if the teacher in Taiwan’s master’s specialist class guides 10 or 20 students at the same time, he will have no time to control the quality of the paper, and the disadvantages will arise. He suggested that the education authorities of the Taiwan authorities should regulate the number of students guided by teachers, reduce the burden on teachers, and guide students according to procedures, so that paper plagiarism can be avoided.
Dai Nianhua, vice president of Tsinghua University in Hsinchu, Taiwan, pointed out that he does not oppose the diversion of master's and specialized classes. Those who only complete courses and do not propose papers will only be awarded a study certificate, and then a degree will be awarded after completing the papers. However, Taiwanese society has a diploma myth, and the people are not satisfied with only getting a certificate of practice.
As for whether it is necessary to regulate the tuition fees of master's special classes? Dai Nianhua does not think that the tuition fees of master's specialty classes should be limited, because students will evaluate whether it is worth spending a lot of money to obtain a degree. If it is not worth it, these high-tuition master's specialty classes will not recruit students at all. (Source: Taiwan "China Times News Network")
