Definition
选派 means 'to select and appoint' or 'to detail' — it combines 选 (select) and 派 (dispatch/send). You use it when an organization or authority chooses someone from a group and sends them to do a specific task, job, or study program. The focus is on both the selection and the assignment: the person is not just chosen but also sent somewhere or given a role. Common contexts include sending employees on business trips, assigning students to study abroad, or appointing representatives.
