Many college students are dropped out of school because of truancy, which leads to a heated discussion.

　　● College students should have the right to choose courses, but some compulsory courses arranged by schools are unwilling to attend, so schools should arrange teaching plans reasonably and teachers should improve teaching quality; If students are still absent from school even if they can choose courses, then the school has the right to punish students who violate the school rules.

　　● The Higher Education Law clearly stipulates the school’s academic evaluation right. How to judge students’ grades, academic standards and credit requirements belongs to the academic evaluation right, and the school enjoys full autonomy.

　　● Sticking to academic evaluation standards is the school’s job, and it is also the performance of being responsible for talent training. The school has the responsibility to continuously improve the teaching level. However, the education department should strengthen the management of the phenomenon that some schools lower their academic evaluation standards for improper purposes.

　　Recently, at the news briefing held by the Ministry of Education, Wu Yan, director of the Higher Education Department of the Ministry of Education, thought that it would be a good signal if the school handled it according to relevant regulations in response to such incidents as "40 college students of Hebei Institute of Physical Education were directly dropped out of school".

　　It is reported that on June 18th, the Academic Affairs Office of Hebei Institute of Physical Education issued the "Announcement on Handling 40 Students, including Du Mou". According to the circular, because 18 students did not participate in the teaching activities stipulated by the school for a long time, and did not go through the relevant formalities, 22 students did not return to school to apply for resumption or withdrawal after the expiration of their suspension. With the approval of the research of the party and government liaison meeting and the dean’s office meeting of the social sports department, sports training department and martial arts department to which 40 students belong, the school decided to withdraw 40 students and make an announcement through the website of the Academic Affairs Office of Hebei Institute of Physical Education. 40 students who have dropped out of school must go to the school to go through the formalities of dropping out of school or raise objections before July 3, 2019.

　　On October 25th, WeChat official account, the official WeChat of Hebei Institute of Physical Education, reprinted an article entitled "40 students were expelled from school for truancy, but they were not convinced to appeal to the school afterwards, and truancy was unreasonable". According to the article, students don’t respect the school when they are absent from class. "Going to the appeal school now has no effect and will only waste their time, money and energy."

　　This matter continues to ferment, causing widespread concern in society. It is worth noting that in recent days, some colleges and universities have taken similar measures for a small number of students who violate school regulations.

　　Absenteeism is not common.

　　Occasionally skipping classes without punishment.

　　In order to further understand the truancy, the reporter of Legal Daily interviewed dozens of college students from different universities at random. More than 10 people said they never skipped class, most said they only skipped classes occasionally, and the rest said they skipped classes more often.

　　Most of the students interviewed said that they were absent from class because of conflicts with extracurricular practice. A few people admit that they are absent from school because of their laziness, and think that games and sleeping in are more attractive. There are still a few people who say that teachers can skip classes without calling the roll.

　　Chen Jie (pseudonym) is currently studying in a university in Beijing. He is absent from school more often. "Sometimes I want to finish it in the dormitory because I haven’t finished my extracurricular practice. In the morning, cut class is mostly because I can’t get out of bed. At the same time, I am lucky. After all, teachers don’t arrive at every class. "

　　Chen Jie paid the price for his truancy — — Due to more truancy, many courses usually get low marks, which further affects the class comprehensive test ranking.

　　"I want to fight for the promotion quota when I start my junior year this year, but the school stipulates that only the top 50% of the class are qualified. I used to think that it was nothing to miss two classes at a time, but I didn’t expect it to affect some of my later choices. I regret it." Chen Jie said.

　　The "Legal Daily" reporter learned that it is a common mode for teachers to reflect attendance on their usual grades.

　　A graduate tutor of Communication University of China, who asked not to be named, said: "University is a relatively free place. I have no objection to students doing things that they feel more valuable in their own class hours, but at the same time, I should be allowed to reflect the differences in my usual grades, and there will be gains and losses. If everyone gives the same score, it is unfair to those students who come to the classroom seriously. "

　　However, more than half of the college students interviewed by the reporter of Legal Daily said that although they missed classes, they were not punished.

　　Strive to improve the quality of teaching

　　Effectively curb absenteeism

　　During the interview, some students supported the practice of Hebei Institute of Physical Education: "If people who have been absent from class for a long time can still graduate smoothly, this will undoubtedly reduce the gold content of their academic qualifications, which is unfair to other students who study hard. No matter what the reason, even if it is because of the conflict with extracurricular practice time or occasional mental slack, it should be based on the completion of basic learning tasks. If it violates the school regulations, it must be handled in accordance with relevant rules and regulations. "

　　Chu Zhaohui, a researcher at China Academy of Educational Sciences, believes that college students’ truancy depends first on what classes they are absent from. College students should have the right to choose courses, but some compulsory courses arranged by schools are unwilling to take them. If this is the case, then the school should also reflect and arrange the teaching plan more reasonably, so that teachers can improve their teaching. If students are still absent from school even if they have a choice, then the school has the right to punish students who violate the school regulations.

　　"What deserves people’s consideration is that even with the precedent of students being dismissed because of truancy, it is still uncertain whether they can really play a role in spurring or warning. Some doctoral and master students think that some courses are worthless, so they don’t go to them. Generally speaking, there are still such problems in universities. The weight of compulsory courses is relatively heavy, and the quality may not be guaranteed. If students are punished for truancy, including being dismissed, it is undoubtedly in line with the school rules, but it may not be consistent with the goal of improving teaching quality. In the end, there may be such a situation that the school punishment is punished, but the students who don’t go to class still don’t go to class, which doesn’t work for some students. " Chu Zhaohui said.

　　Xiong Bingqi, vice president of 21st Century Education Research Institute, believes that to curb truancy, we should start with improving teaching quality. As early as 20 years ago, China’s education department asked universities to establish a system of professors giving lectures to undergraduates, but so far, this system has not been established in many universities. According to the data recently released by the Ministry of Education, 80% of professors and associate professors teach undergraduate students. Compared with before, great progress has been made, but it also shows that there is still a lot of room for efforts to implement the system of professors giving classes to undergraduates. If universities want to be strict with students, they must strengthen process management, so they must reform the teacher evaluation system and ask teachers to devote themselves to teaching.

　　"What about the students who dropped out of school? It is another controversial point for college dropouts. Under the current system, if a student is dropped out of school, it will be difficult for him to transfer to another university. He can only return to the college entrance examination system, re-register for the college entrance examination and fill in his volunteers before he can be admitted to a full-time university. Otherwise, you have to choose adult education or study abroad. This is undoubtedly an obstacle to eliminating unqualified students. " Xiong Bingqi said.

　　Violate school rules and resolutely retreat.

　　Elimination mechanism is essential.

　　In addition to truancy, some colleges and universities have also taken punishment measures for a few students who violate other school regulations.

　　Recently, Fudan University issued a notice saying that according to the Regulations on the Management of Student Status of Fudan University, the principal’s office of the school decided to make a decision to drop out of school for 12 graduate students who recently found that they had not graduated or finished their studies after the expiration of their study years. Fudan University publicized the list of 12 graduate students who dropped out of school, and declared the students’ right to appeal.

　　In addition, China Geo University (Beijing) expelled 52 graduate students at one time, including 42 doctoral students and 10 master students. The school said that the reason for the expulsion was "not completing the study within the maximum study period stipulated by the school", which violated the first paragraph of Article 30 of the Regulations on the Management of Students in Ordinary Colleges and Universities of the Ministry of Education and the fifth paragraph of Article 37 of the Implementation Rules for the Management of Postgraduates’ Status in China Geo University (Beijing).

　　China Renmin University also expelled 16 undergraduates at one time, including international students.

　　Wu Yan said in an interview with the media: "In the world, the graduation rate of colleges and universities is actually very low, and China is relatively high, but we have our own national conditions and cannot simply compare them. Even so, if all students enter the school and enter the safe area, they must graduate. This situation must be changed. "

　　"Playing games and falling in love every day, the muddleheaded days will be gone forever, and we can’t engage in ‘ Play hard ’ Middle school, also can’t do ‘ Happy ’ The university. Each university can grasp the quality of undergraduate education in different ways, but the goal is the same. " Wu Yan said.

　　Wang Jingbo, dean of the Institute of Government under the Rule of Law of China University of Political Science and Law, believes that the higher education law clearly stipulates the academic evaluation right of schools, which is the core of academic power. As an educational institution, a school enjoys complete academic evaluation power for students’ academic ability and academic achievements, and the academic evaluation power is academic. How to judge students’ grades, academic standards and credit requirements belong to the core academic evaluation right of the school. For this power, the school enjoys a high degree of autonomy. For students who do not meet the academic evaluation standards stipulated by the school, the school can take some measures, such as demotion and dropping out of school. It is worth noting that there are essential differences between dropping out of school and expelling from school. If a student’s academic performance is unqualified, then the school’s measures may be dropping out of school, not expelling from school.

　　Chu Zhaohui believes that it is necessary for students who fail in academic performance to graduate or need to be reduced in degree. Universities must have elimination mechanism. Without elimination mechanism, the teaching quality cannot be improved, which will also have a negative impact on students’ studies.

　　In Wang Jingbo’s view, adhering to the academic evaluation criteria is the school’s job, and it is also a manifestation of being responsible for talent training. Schools have the responsibility to continuously improve the teaching level, but in practice, there are many colleges and universities with many levels, and there are differences between schools. Some schools lower academic evaluation standards for improper purposes. The education department should strengthen the management of this problem, supervise the school through evaluation and evaluation, and guide the school to strengthen the teaching quality. The education department should deal with acts that obviously violate the laws of education. At the same time, the school should also have its own brand awareness. Once the school’s reputation is bad, it will lose the sustainability of development.
