Construction of a Quality Evaluation System for Graduate Education Based on Analytic Hierarchy Proces- A Case Study of Graduates from Public Management Graduate Programs

The Notice on Issuing the 14th Five Year Plan for Employment Promotion, publicly released by the State Council on August 23, 2021, emphasizes the importance of promoting high-quality employment. To promote high-quality and full employment, the first step is to ensure the source of high-quality job seekers. As highly educated and qualified talents recognized by society, master' s students are a vital force in stimulating the prosperity of the job market. Accurately evaluating their training quality is of great significance for achieving high-quality employment. This study integrates theory and practice, and uses the Analytic Hierarchy Process, constructs a hierarchical matrix based on practical needs and past research, determines indicator weights through expert scoring, and forms a complete weighted evaluation index system for graduate education quality that distinguishes between academic and professional master' s degrees. And applying this indicator to practice, taking the School of Public Administration at C University as an example to evaluate the quality of graduate training, it was found that the overall quality of graduate training for the School of Public Administration at C University is relatively good, but the participation in academic conferences is low, and the overall quality of graduate training for professional master' s students is relatively low. Based on the evaluation results, suggestions have been put forward for the improvement and development of graduate education in the School of Public Administration at C University, including improving the quality of career development training, enhancing the quality of academic training, strengthening project participation, and improving awards and timely graduation rates.
