Director's growth history

"Fang Yuan, do you know why the current provincial and ministerial-level cadres have to study for a Ph. D?" Confucius Tianyu asked earnestly. [*] Fang Yuan said: "I don't know." Confucius continued to ask: "Have you noticed that the resumes of these leading cadres often mention in-service graduate degrees, doctorates in political science or economics?" Fang Yuan said: "I have noticed this. Every time a provincial party secretary is appointed or a provincial governor is elected, there will be a resume. Many secretaries and governors have doctorates from the Central Party School or even Peking University or Tsinghua University."

Confucius Tian said: "Even governors and secretaries, who are five or sixty years old, are desperately trying to get a Ph. You must study, and you must read true knowledge and improve your true level." Fang Yuan said: "Dad, I understand that if you want to really achieve great development, now it seems that a doctorate is also a necessary condition, right?" Confucius Tian said : "Yes! In a province, there is only one governor, but dozens of deputy provincial cadres, including three or four deputy secretaries, eleven or thirteen provincial standing committee members, seven or eight deputy governors, ten Several deputy directors of the National People's Congress and more than a dozen vice chairmen of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. When the Central Organization Department is inspecting, in addition to age, it is more important to consider political achievements, abilities, and education. The same is true for a prefecture-level city. There is only one mayor. , dozens of deputy city-level cadres. Therefore, when many leading cadres are working as party and government deputy positions, they try their best to get a doctorate."

Fang Yuan said: "The academic spirit of these leaders is really admirable!" Confucius smiled slightly: "No, no." Fang Yuan said: "Are their degrees fake?" The academic qualifications are real academic qualifications, and the doctorate is also real, but a considerable part of them are real academic qualifications and fake knowledge." Fang Yuan said: "Dad, why can't I understand?" Confucius Tian said: "Being a deputy provincial or deputy City-level cadres have a heavy workload. There are many meetings to attend, many activities to participate in, many tasks to promote, and even a lot of entertainment at night. Tell me, if a person is so busy, how can he Still have time to study? For many senior cadres, some universities actually open the door for them, taking separate exams and admitting them separately. As a doctoral supervisor, I have also recruited several such students! As long as they take separate exams, It will definitely be so simple that you can’t imagine; as long as you are admitted separately, it’s a formality, 100% admission.” Fang Yuan asked: “Even if you are admitted, you always have to learn a lot of homework. I have experienced it when I was studying for a master’s degree. , the most tiring thing is the English test, the psychological statistics and measurement test, and the preparation of the master's thesis. Let's just speak English, at least it should be at the level of the eighth level of the university, at least you should be able to read foreign language works in English directly. "Confucius Tian said: "University level eight? Hehe, these leading cadres who have received doctoral degrees can't be said to be all. I’m afraid I don’t even have 2000 English words in my head.” Fang Yuan became even more curious: “Then can I still pass the English test?” Confucius Tian said: “Is the test for the leaders as strict as for ordinary students? , There are too many people who want to teach and take exams for him. The system of selecting cadres in China is that the superiors promote the subordinates, not the masses electing cadres. Is it? As for the doctoral dissertation, the leader will not write it himself. Naturally, there are huge resources to serve him, such as teachers from the party school, civil servants in the policy research office, secretaries around you, etc. You just want to write this doctoral dissertation. The leader doesn't necessarily use you!"

God!Fang Yuan was taken aback: So it is!how could this be?
