As we all know, village cadres are at the forefront of rural work and are responsible for guiding and educating the masses, leading them to develop the economy and become prosperous, and maintaining rural harmony and stability. So, is it true that village cadres will be recruited in 2022? Attached is the latest policy for village cadres in the Central Government’s Document No. 1 of 2022!

1. Is it true that village cadres will be recruited in 2022?

It is possible that village cadres will be recruited in 2022.

1. The Central Document No. 1 of 2018 mentioned: It is necessary to improve the system of selecting township leaders from outstanding village party organization secretaries, recruiting township government civil servants, and recruiting township public servants. Therefore, it is possible that village cadres will be included in the national establishment in 2022. It depends on whether your area has issued relevant notices.

2. Taking Huoqiu County, Anhui Province as an example, as early as January 2017, the Organization Department of Huoqiu County Party Committee of Anhui Province issued an announcement to publicly recruit 8 township public servants from outstanding professional village management cadres. According to the announcement at that time, village cadres participating in the selection and appointment of township public service personnel must meet the following basic conditions:

1. Incumbent village cadres who have been included in professional management for 2 years;

2. Have high ideological and political qualities, good conduct, abide by laws and disciplines, and be honest and dedicated to public service;

3. Strong organizational and coordination skills, good at doing mass work and handling complex issues, and have high prestige among the masses;

4. Solid work style, outstanding achievements, effective poverty alleviation, and the village's annual comprehensive evaluation has ranked among the top 5 in the township in the past three years;

5. The age should generally be under 50 years old, and the age limit can be relaxed to 52 years old for particularly outstanding candidates (particularly outstanding means those who have been commended at the municipal level or above or are currently serving as provincial or municipal representatives and one committee member).

6. Have a high school (technical secondary school) degree or above and be in good health.

Those who meet any of the following conditions are not allowed to apply for the examination :

1. Those who have been punished for crimes;

2. Those who have been subject to party discipline sanctions for less than 5 years;

3. Those who are under investigation for suspected violations of laws and disciplines;

4. The individual violates the family planning policy;

5. The village where he/she works has been vetoed in poverty alleviation, family planning, comprehensive governance, etc. in the past three years, or there have been abnormal petitions or group petitions to the municipal level or above;

6. Other circumstances where the law and regulations stipulate that the person shall not be selected as a township institution staff.

II. The latest policy on village cadres in the Central Document No. 1 of 2022

The document proposes to strengthen the construction of rural grassroots organizations:

1. Strengthen the responsibility of county-level party committees to promote townships and villages, deepen the reform of the township management system, improve the unified command and overall coordination mechanism of township party committees, strengthen the leadership team building after the concentrated change of township and village leadership, and comprehensively carry out thematic training for rural grassroots cadres on rural revitalization.

2. Continue to investigate and rectify weak and lax village party organizations. Give full play to the role of the first secretary and work team stationed in the village in strengthening party building and promoting rural revitalization.

3. Improve the research and discussion mechanism for important village matters and major issues by the village party organization, and fully implement the "four discussions and two disclosures" system. Carry out in-depth inspections at the city and county levels, strengthen grassroots supervision, strengthen communication and cooperation between grassroots disciplinary inspection and supervision organizations and village affairs supervision committees, and effectively connect them to strengthen supervision of village cadres. Improve the rural governance system that combines self-governance, rule of law, and rule of virtue under the leadership of the Party organization, and promote grid management, digital empowerment, and refined services.

4. Promote the standardization of village committee construction. Deepen the pilot demonstration of rural governance system construction. Carry out innovative experiments in village deliberation and consultation. Promote the checklist system for matters such as village-level organizations’ autonomous affairs and matters of assisting government work in accordance with the law, standardize village-level organization signs and certification matters, and implement a one-table system for basic village information statistics to reduce the burden on village-level organizations.

From the above, it can be seen that it is possible to recruit village cadres into the system in 2022, but the village cadres included in the system must meet the requirements in terms of years of work, conduct, work ability, age, academic qualifications, etc., and must not engage in illegal or disciplinary violations. In addition, village cadres must pass relevant examinations to be recruited, which are similar to civil servant or professional examinations.
