華中科技大學試行新規 本科不努力畢業變專科
A new undergraduate management regulation at one of China's top universities has sparked a nationwide debate on the future of the country's higher education system.
近日，中國一所名校公佈的對本科生的最新管理規定，在全國引發了一場對中國高等教育系統的未來的大討論。Huazhong University of Science and Technology in central Hubei Province says undergraduate students who perform poorly will not be able to continue their bachelor courses, but will instead only be able to achieve an associate degree.
位於湖北省的華中科技大學日前出臺的一項新規稱，本科學生成績未達標者將不能繼續學士課程，只能獲得專科學位。Many Internet users think it is unacceptable not to be given a bachelor's degree after fierce competition in the earlier college entrance examination.
而許多網民則認爲，經過激烈的高考競爭考入大學之後，卻不能獲得學士學位，這是不可接受的。
However, the university responded that the new measures respect students with different levels of potential.
但是該校則迴應稱，這一新措施考慮了具有不同層次潛力的學生。
"The system offers a certain degree of flexibility in the current education model. Students who don't get enough credits will be given another opportunity to continue their studies, rather than simply drop out of school," the university said in an online statement.
該校在網絡上的一份聲明中稱：“這一系統在目前的教育模式中提供了一定程度的靈活性。沒有獲得足夠學分的學生將獲得另一個繼續學業的機會，而不是就此輟學。”And Huazhong's justification has gained a lot of support on social media platform, Weibo.
而在微博上，許多人都對華中科技大學的理由表示大力支持。User @Haishijiaowohuizhangdarenba said, "For those who face dropout, it is a good choice."
網友“Haishijiaowohuizhangdarenba”表示：“對於那些面臨輟學的人來說，這是一個不錯的選擇。”"The new measures will not affect those who study hard at all. For the slackers, it is better for them to learn the lesson at school than after graduation. It should be encouraged in other universities as well," posted @Chitushaonvyaolianle.
網友“Chitushaonvyaolianle”說道：“這些新措施對那些努力學習的人一點兒影響也沒有。而對於懶惰的人來說，在學校裏學到這一課比到了社會上再吃虧要好得多。其他高校也應該施行這一政策。”While @Liangleibadao said, "The regulation was adopted at Tsinghua University more than a decade ago. It is nothing new. The requirement is not that harsh at the end of day."
網友“Liangleibada”也說道：“清華十多年前就實行這一規定了。這不是什麼新鮮事兒。事實上要求並沒有那麼嚴格。”
