Cultivating Top-Notch Innovative Talents
HUANG Luhan
Exploring the cultivation models for top-notch innovative talents in basic academic disciplines is crucial for building China into a leading country in education. Based on the policy implementation process model, the study interviewed 25 students and found that: contradictions arise during policy implementation, including the difficulty in aligning standardized national exams with autonomous enrollment of universities, the conflict between diverse talent needs and homogenized training plans, and the deviation of through-training target and single talent export. At the institutional level, the education department’s evaluation system is misaligned, and pilot universities face challenges like goal convergence, selection deviating from initial intentions, and fragmented internal management. Colleges also suffer from weak management, insufficient guidance, and unequal resource distribution. In terms of the implementation environment, factors such as intensified academic competition, incomplete supervision, variations in levels of family support, and negative media reports hinder policy effectiveness. Among students, shifts in academic interests, pursuit of prestigious schools, mismatch between students’ motivation and capabilities, and disconnection between competition and non-competition students are observed. It is recommended to enhance the clarity and scientific basis of the policy, improve institutional implementation capacity, optimize the policy environment, establish a feedback mechanism, and strengthen students’ understanding and acceptance of the policy.
