A Mixed Assessment

Reporters' remark: In 1983 the State Education Commission initiated a job placement experiment in Qinghua University and Jiaotong University, Shanghai, wherein university graduates were placed through a method that combines application, recommendation, screening, and employment. This year the experiment has been expanded to include Jiaotong University, Xi'an, and Fudan University. Other colleges and universities not involved in the experiment, wherever conditions permit, can place their graduates through the method of combining application with recruitment, within the parameters of the job allocation plan authorized by the department in charge at a higher level. Colleges and universities affiliated with the State Education Commission implement a method of combining internship with working at the employer's workplace so that an employer can meet face to face with the prospective] employee and job allocation is actually] made one year ahead of graduation.
