'How can an average graduate be admitted?'

(Baonghean.vn) - Chairman of the People's Committee of Ky Son district, Nguyen Thanh Hoang, affirmed that students with average qualifications have no chance of passing the civil servant and public employee recruitment exam.

During the period 2014-2016, the reception, recruitment and use of cadres, civil servants and public employees who are ethnic minorities were carried out by Ky Son in accordance with legal regulations, ensuring publicity and transparency.

In communes and towns in the district, there are currently a total of 489 cadres, civil servants and public employees, of which 345 are ethnic minority cadres and civil servants, accounting for 70.6%; the number of cadres meeting the standards of rank and job position is 184 people (university level), accounting for 41.62%.

The district always pays attention to and focuses on introducing ethnic minority cadres, civil servants and public employees into the planning to participate in the Party committees at all levels. In addition, the development and implementation of annual training and development plans for ethnic minority cadres, civil servants and public employees are carried out effectively and with quality.

However, according to district statistics, there are still 171 university graduates who are unemployed, of which 26 are in the selection system, including majors in: Medicine, Pharmacy; Pedagogy; Agriculture, Forestry; Law and Economics.

“In 2016, the district received and arranged jobs for 2 university graduates under the recruitment system to work in the departments and offices of the District People's Committee, while the remaining 26 students do not know where to be arranged,” said Mr. La Van Chanh - Vice Chairman of the District People's Committee.

Regarding this issue, the district believes that the reason is that the mechanism and policies for job creation for ethnic minority students after graduation, especially the nomination system, still have many problems. Along with that, there are some inconsistent recruitment policies; the construction and proposal of initial nomination quotas are not close to reality.

Speaking at the meeting, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Hoang - Chairman of the District People's Committee affirmed that the district has paid attention to implementing propaganda work well and substantially, so that families and ethnic minority students can receive better career guidance, contributing to reducing the situation of studying practical professions that are not in demand, causing unemployment.

Mr. Hoang also expressed his opinion that the current recruitment policy is still very inadequate, both in the training process and in use. “The students who are recruited to study are not needed for local occupations. Instead of training what the school has, we must train what the locality needs. After they graduate, using the recruitment policy is also inadequate. If the recruited students have average academic performance, they will never pass the civil servant and public employee recruitment exam, even if they achieve the maximum test and interview scores, because the study score is calculated by a coefficient of 2 according to regulations,” the Chairman of the People’s Committee of Ky Son district analyzed.

Mr. Nguyen Thanh Hoang suggested that it is necessary to set a certain percentage in the recruitment quota for civil servants and public employees to prioritize cases of nomination, gradually resolving the current backlog of cases.

Mr. Vi Hoe - Secretary of Ky Son District Party Committee said that the province should add separate policy mechanisms for districts 30a including Ky Son, Tuong Duong, Que Phong and Quy Chau: "Every year the province should consider arranging a number of recruitment slots for civil servants and public employees specifically for local people and those in the recruitment list, otherwise it will be very difficult to arrange jobs for these people."

In her concluding remarks, Head of the Ethnic Affairs Committee of the Provincial People's Council Lo Thi Kim Ngan acknowledged the positive results that Ky Son district has achieved in implementing policies and regimes for ethnic minority cadres, civil servants and public employees in the area in the period of 2014-2016; at the same time, she emphasized the shortcomings and unreasonable points discovered during the supervision. Specific recommendations, emerging from local practices, will be compiled, studied and classified into groups of recommendations for district, provincial and central ministries and branches, thereby finding solutions.

Previously, the working delegation had learned about the implementation of policies and regimes for ethnic minority cadres, civil servants and public employees at the office of Pha Danh commune, Ky Son district, and listened to difficulties, inadequacies and recommendations from the grassroots on this issue.
