今年起我國不再從高中畢業生中招收國防生

The Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) will no longer recruit senior high school graduates and college students for reserve officers, the Ministry of National Defence (MOD) said Friday.

中國國防部於上週五表示，中國人民解放軍將不再從高中畢業生和高校學生中招收國防生。

Instead, the PLA will select and recruit college graduates, with new policies to be put in place to support the change, according to the MOD.

國防部稱，取而代之的則是，解放軍將直接從高校畢業生中選拔國防生，爲支持這一改變，他們還將採取一些新政策。

The changes are scheduled to take effect this year, as most college students graduate in June and July.

由於大多數高校學生都是在6、7月份畢業，因此這項新政策將於今年開始實施。

The new policy aims to better utilize China's educational resources, while providing a platform for more high-quality graduates from colleges across the country to serve in the army, said an official at the MOD.

國防部一位官員表示，這項新政策旨在更好地利用中國的教育資源，同時提供一個平臺，讓全國更多高素質的高校畢業生在軍隊服務。

High school graduates or college students previously accounted for a large proportion of PLA recruits.

高中畢業生和高校學生曾經佔據國防部招生的很大比例。

They receive education in colleges and universities, undergo military-style management and become reserve officers after graduation.

他們一般會在大學接受教育，施行軍事化管理，在畢業之後就成爲預備役官兵。
