Paradox: the most lack of scientific and technological talents in rural areas, agricultural college students are the most difficult to obtain employment!

Introduction: by the end of May, the one-time employment signing rate of the graduating Traditional Agricultural Undergraduates of an agricultural university in North China was less than 30%, and all of them settled in the city In the past three years, the primary employment rate of Traditional Agricultural Graduates in the school has shown a significant downward trend: 45% in 2000, 40% in 2001, and another 10% drop compared with the same period last year In the face of the fact that the employment of traditional agricultural graduates is difficult, many agricultural and forestry colleges have to expand the scale of agricultural graduate students as much as possible to temporarily alleviate the employment pressure of students This year, the number of graduate students majoring in Soil Science in a university is equivalent to 70% of the total number of undergraduate students majoring in soil science The school's leaders began to worry: "this will lead to a significant decline in the quality of graduate students." According to statistics, 95% of Agricultural Graduates of the school have stayed in cities in recent years, and most of them have engaged in jobs unrelated to agriculture However, as a large agricultural country, there is a shortage of agricultural and forestry scientists and technicians in China Relevant statistics show that there are 30605000 professional and technical personnel in China, of which only 804000 are agricultural and forestry professional and technical personnel, accounting for 2.6% There are only 0.8 agricultural professional technicians per 10000 mu of land and 0.53 forestry professional technicians per 10000 mu of forest in China The proportion of agricultural scientific and technological personnel in China's population is one in ten thousand, while that in developed countries is 30 to 40 in ten thousand The shortage of agricultural and forestry scientific and technological personnel is particularly prominent at the grass-roots level There are dozens of students admitted to agricultural and forestry colleges and universities in a county of Hebei Province every year, but none of them go home to work after graduation The county magistrate complained that the lack of agricultural science and technology extension personnel had affected the adjustment of agricultural industrial structure to some extent On the one hand, there is an obvious shortage of agricultural and forestry science and technology personnel, on the other hand, it is difficult for Agricultural Graduates to obtain employment According to the person in charge of the Enrollment Office of an agricultural university, among the candidates admitted by the University in recent years, the first and second candidates who apply for agricultural science in agricultural universities are less than 30% of the actual number of students In order to reach the enrollment quantity, we have to adjust in large quantities to supplement the students A direct consequence of this is that many students have no interest in their major and their enthusiasm for learning is greatly reduced Students and peasants do not love agriculture, but one of the reasons for the difficulty of employment Not all college students are "unconscious" An agricultural university graduate admitted that the agricultural industry is indeed a sunrise industry, which contains unlimited opportunities, but the opportunities are far from reality "Can we realize our personal value by going into agriculture now?" Wang Han, a professor at Beijing Agricultural College, also believes that under the current situation, even if graduates from agricultural colleges are willing to work at the grass-roots level, there are not many jobs available to them in the countryside "Before the agricultural technology promotion network meeting the requirements of the market economy is completed, graduates, even if they are committed to agriculture, often have no access to the" land ", he said Due to various reasons, the traditional agricultural science and technology talents, the "four level extension network" of agricultural science and technology attached to local governments at all levels, are facing a difficult situation of "network breaking, line breaking, and people scattering" Where there is no "break" or "break", the county and township finance are often very embarrassed and it is difficult to pay Of course, these units are unable to accept a large number of agricultural university graduates At present, the new market-oriented agricultural technology service system has not formed a scale, the industrialized agricultural service enterprises, especially the high-tech agricultural enterprises have not formed a climate, the basic form of agricultural employment is still farming, the basic employment unit is still the family At this time, the demand for technical talents in rural areas is still a macro demand to a large extent, and it is difficult to turn it into specific employment opportunities, unless these agricultural college students from rural areas are allowed to return to their hometown to help their parents grow land In this sense, facing the difficulties of international competition, China's agriculture is homologous with the difficulties of employment of agricultural science and technology talents.
