The publicity of the recruitment and admission of counselors in Wuhan University has aroused heated discussion in the society. Is it a waste of talent for doctors to be counselors?

The publicity of the recruitment and admission of counselors in a university in Wuhan has aroused heated discussion in the society. On the admission list, the new counselors are all well-educated masters and doctors from famous universities, and even doctors from famous universities who have returned to China. In the discussion of all parties, there is no lack of depreciation of academic qualifications and doctoral degrees. Involution? Wait for the argument. Is it a waste of talent for a doctor to be a psychological consultant?

On the one hand, as a representative of highly educated people in China, it takes a lot of resources and time to train doctors. In addition to the resources invested by the state and universities, there are also the efforts of the doctor himself. Counselors' work is trivial. Facing the life, study and practice of students. They often rush between various transactional jobs, and may be reimbursed or something else on weekends? Miscellaneous things? Such as this, the doctor has no more time to do research, and runs around on trivial things all day. This also makes some netizens think that it is overqualified.

On the other hand, being a doctor as a counselor is beneficial to the growth and development of students. Counselors with doctoral degrees have strong academic research ability and rich knowledge and experience, and can give better guidance in students' life, study and career planning, and help college students to better promote and develop.

More and more people are highly educated, and the enrollment scale of master's and doctoral students continues to expand. Some people think that in this case, such problems may become more and more, and will only become common in the end.

According to the statistics released by the Ministry of Education, the number of doctoral graduates nationwide in 20 19 was 62,578. We can also know that the number of doctoral students, enrollment and graduates are increasing year by year. Postgraduate education is the main way to cultivate high-level talents and an important part of the national innovation system. However, China's graduate enrollment is still maintained under the guidance of policies. Expanding enrollment? Trend.

What needs to be pointed out here is that in 20 19, the number of college students exceeded 9 million, the scale of college students became larger and larger, the structure became more and more diversified, the interaction between campus and society became stronger and stronger, psychological problems became more and more prominent, and the management and service of college students became more and more difficult. This naturally requires higher-level educators to participate in it and carry out corresponding counseling work. After entering the era of popularization of higher education, people's ideas should not stay in the previous elite education era, let alone look at the current educational reality with outdated ideas, and should not look at Beiqing Shuobo with outdated ideas? Xia yuhang? The same is true of the choice of doctors as psychological counselors.

More importantly, it is also the trend and requirement of the development of higher education to take students as the center and strengthen student service. In 20 17, the Ministry of Education issued a document clearly stating that college counselors should be equipped according to the teacher-student ratio of 1: 200. Some colleges and universities also clearly stipulate that school administrators must have the work experience of front-line counselors. The phenomenon of doctors as counselors can not be separated from the background of the change of supply and demand structure of highly educated talents. Around 2003, the number of teachers introduced to colleges and universities reached 6.5438+0.6 million every year, and it is easy for master's or even undergraduate graduates to find jobs as college counselors. In recent years, colleges and universities can only provide about 30,000 jobs every year. On the supply side of human resources, in the early 1990s, there were only a few thousand doctoral students and tens of thousands master students enrolled in universities across the country. In 2020, the number of graduate students enrolled has exceeded 1 10,000, and the number of doctoral students enrolled has also exceeded 1 10,000. This change in supply and demand structure will inevitably lead to the improvement of the average education level of the same job.

At the same time, in the first half of 2020, compared with the enrollment in 20 19, the number of doctoral students in many universities increased. With the increase of enrollment, the destination of doctoral students has also become the focus of social attention.
