Graduate education is the basic layout to deal with the new big country game and global talent competition. It undertakes the major mission of cultivating high-level talents and providing high-level innovation. At the same time, it is facing the transformation task from large to strong, from scale expansion to quality improvement. It is urgent to take root in China and explore the road of excellent development.

From the perspective of world experience, graduate education shows the characteristics of deep integration and mutual nourishment of education and innovation, which determines that graduate students need to have the dual endowment of students and scholars, and use scholar style, research consciousness and innovation standards to guide their success. From the perspective of Chinese characteristics, Graduate Education conveys the requirements of high superposition and mutual promotion of quality orientation and demand orientation, which determines that graduate students need to adhere to the dual pursuit of "improving themselves" and "serving others", and take the global frontier, national strategy and regional objectives as the development orientation. Therefore, the key to implementing the important instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping on graduate education and the spirit of the National Graduate Education Conference and accelerating the excellent development of graduate education in the new era lies in connecting the national development demand and talent cultivation and supply, connecting education and teaching with innovation and creation, and promoting system reform and system opening.

Actively serve the urgent needs of the country and meet the diversified postgraduate training direction with an unconventional layout

Socialist modernization needs to give full play to the unique function of graduate education as the highest academic education. Only by accelerating the development of excellent graduate education in the new era can we support more market players in China to seize the high-end of the industrial chain and provide strong intellectual support for liberating and developing social productivity to a greater extent. At present, one of the main problems of graduate education is that the high-end supply of education can not meet the diversified needs of the country. To solve this contradiction between supply and demand, we should focus on highlighting the attribute of graduate education serving national development, follow the educational concept of "taking service as the purpose and developing through contribution", further optimize the structure and scale of graduate training, and train graduate students by category around the needs of socialist modernization and the high-quality development trend of economy and society, Promote the integration of quantity and quality in graduate education.

Adjust the training direction around the national development needs. Further solve the problems such as the dislocation of supply side and demand side of postgraduate training, timely respond to the requirements of economic and social transformation and upgrading, scientific and technological industry reform and knowledge integration, and improve the dynamic adjustment mechanism of postgraduate training from different dimensions such as region, industry and discipline. Optimize the layout of postgraduate training for national strategies such as Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Great Bay area and common prosperity demonstration area.

Promote the integrated development of disciplines and specialties. Highlight the consistency of discipline direction, scientific research direction and professional direction, establish and improve the discipline classification and development mechanism, scientifically set and adjust disciplines and professional categories, create a "in and out" discipline system, and form a comprehensive and cross first-class discipline system.

Optimize the postgraduate training structure. Select high-level research universities with good school running conditions and strong training ability, try first, independently determine the enrollment proportion of master's degree and doctoral degree, and stimulate the enthusiasm of research universities to improve the quality of graduate education.

Firmly promote the integration of science and education, and create high-quality graduate strategic strength with high-level innovation

At present, China is facing many "neck sticking" problems. On the surface, it is technology and innovation, but in essence, it is talents. To make up for this key weakness, the breakthrough point is to integrate teaching and innovation resources, coordinate the education and scientific research process, transform the cutting-edge innovation advantages into fresh graduate education characteristics, transfer the urgent graduate education needs to the front-line innovation research, and form a two-way flow and whole process connection situation of education, teaching and scientific research innovation, so that graduate students can cooperate in science and education Excellent growth in the integration of industry and education.

Build a fertility research system with discipline construction, talent team and education and teaching as the core. Stimulate the function of discipline education, guide postgraduates to actively participate in the practice of discipline convergence, integration and cross training, and make the innovation direction consistent with the discipline strategic field. Give full play to the leading role of high-level talents and let postgraduates become models in scientific spirit, academic integrity, academic norms and ethics.

Take innovation as the core requirement to measure graduate students' literacy. Focus on the cultivation of knowledge innovation ability, strengthen systematic scientific research training for postgraduates, and support high-quality training with large teams, platforms and college programs. Around the original innovation, guide graduate students to find a new direction from scratch, bravely break into the "no man's land" of academic innovation and overcome the problem of "neck sticking". Establish and improve the mechanism for graduate students to participate in the construction of national strategic scientific and technological forces such as national laboratories and science and technology leading enterprises, and create conditions for graduate students to become a new force for the country to build the world's major scientific center and innovation highland as soon as possible.

We will improve the mechanism of integrating production and education. Let modern industries and innovative enterprises participate in the training of professional degree postgraduates in an all-round way, explore the "specialty + industry (industry)" double tutor system, and promote schools and enterprises to jointly build a high-level practical teaching curriculum system. Support graduate students to carry out the integration of industry and education with the whole chain of entrepreneurship services, and build a graduate entrepreneurship education system. We will pilot and promote the special independent training plan for graduate students in shortage of core technologies, and innovate the training mode of graduate students in key fields.

We will continue to deepen reform and opening up and solve the deep-seated problems of graduate education with modern governance

Graduate education is not only related to morality, scientific research and innovation, but also related to the modernization of national governance. At present, the factors restricting the excellent development of graduate education are the reform of training mode and the opening of system, which are closely related to the improvement of educational quality. In order to eliminate this obstacle, the connection point is to build a modern graduate education governance system, transform the advantages of system and mechanism into modern governance efficiency, improve the global competitiveness of graduate students in the process of opening and development, and then form a Chinese graduate education model matching the construction of a socialist modern country.

Comprehensively deepen the reform of graduate education. Promote the inclination of enrollment resources to major scientific research innovation and key disciplines. Unblock the diversion selection mechanism, improve the qualification examination and annual assessment system, formulate a diversion scheme combining "postgraduate oriented" and "quality first", respect students' interests, and give students the right to plan and choose their academic career. We will promote overall selection, gradually expand the proportion of direct doctoral students, and allow outstanding undergraduate graduates of domestic high-level research universities to continue their research and study through "application assessment". We will implement master's degree and doctoral degree training, and pilot promote the learning mode of doctoral system.

Create a high-quality environment to support graduate education. We will increase investment in graduate education, improve the training cost sharing mechanism, optimize the funding system dominated by the government, coordinated by training units and widely participated by the society, and increase funding for graduate students in basic disciplines and key fields. Get rid of the "five only" evaluation method, and improve the training quality evaluation system around the factors such as postgraduate training effectiveness, innovation quality and service contribution. Improve the quality control and assurance system, strengthen the post management of tutors, and implement the training responsibility in the whole process.

"Those who govern the world are talents, and those who become talents are education." High standard research universities should take root in China, develop excellent graduate education in the new era, and make greater contributions to the realization of the second Centennial goal.
