视觉中国供图 "本升专，是什么梗？"前不久，郑州铁路职业技术学院发布2025年单独考试招生章程，部分专业连续多年 只招收本科毕业生，其中不乏硕士毕业生，且招生规模从2022年的30人增长至2025年的135人。 "本升专"，这一现象引发了众多舆论关注。记者几次致电校方，希望学校就近几年"本升专"的情况进行介 绍，得到的答复是："鉴于舆论过热，学校不再接受采访"。 早在2009年，青岛市技师学院就开始开设"大学生回炉班"，面向专科以上学历的大学毕业生招生，在社会 上也曾引发热议。 对"大学生回炉""本科反向求学专科"现象，记者采访的几位专家普遍认为：应理性看待这一现象，社会应跳 出学历崇拜窠臼，或许能让我们更加客观地评估教育价值，真正回归教育本质；技能成才应成为青年的理 性选择。 "大学生回炉班"坚持就业导向 据介绍，该学院后来在区域产业调研基础上，重点选择与产业对接紧密的专业，先后开设了机电一体化技 术、电气自动化设备安装与维修、工业机器人应用与维护、现代物流、焊接加工等专业的"大学生回炉 班"。"因为这些专业对应的职业既有通用性、社会需求大，又具有技能复合性，对从业人员知识、素养和 技能要求高。" 梁珍介绍 ...
