Huayu for engineering students

Chapter 283 Discussion on Higher Education ([-])
However, when Wang Xu was asked to speak, he made a detour and put forward his own views on the vocational education system.

In Wang Xu's previous life, a friend worked in a junior college. Almost every time he met Wang Xu and his old friends, he would complain about the educational methods of the junior college.

Except for a very few professional colleges, most colleges can't grasp the key points at all, and both teachers and students are in a state of high confusion.

But all of this stems from the ambiguity of the positioning of colleges and universities. Of course, this ambiguity does not exist now, but gradually appears with the expansion of undergraduate enrollment.

It doesn’t matter whether you have a bachelor’s degree or a junior college, because the number of students is very small, the overall employment environment is in a state of less than demand, so it’s good to be able to recruit a bachelor’s degree, but if you can’t, find a junior college.

The relationship between the superior and the subordinate is formed between the two routes, rather than the left and right hands. In addition, the existence of the promotion path of transferring from the specialization to the junior college makes the junior college become a relatively poor undergraduate.

With the reform of colleges and universities, many current colleges and universities have gradually successfully advanced to become undergraduates.

There are also some merged by other institutions and become undergraduates.

The quality of the remaining junior colleges was originally the weaker batch, and then some new colleges and universities were born, and there were even some private colleges.

The reform of colleges and universities and the expansion of college enrollment have greatly expanded the number of the entire undergraduate group, but in the process, they have inadvertently classified the junior college and the undergraduate into the same development path.

The boundaries that were already blurred before became even more blurred. Except for the difference in difficulty, there is almost no other difference between the professional courses of the junior college and the undergraduate. The junior college has completely become a small undergraduate.

As a result, the assessment of teachers in colleges and universities has gradually moved closer to that of undergraduate colleges. Teaching is no longer the top priority of teachers, and scientific research has become the battlefield for colleges and universities.

But think about it, if you have a sum of money to develop a project, would you ask specialist teachers to do it.Is it really because he likes to become a teacher in a junior college instead of an undergraduate college?
As a result, a large number of specialist teachers are completely fooled. If they can do scientific research, what kind of specialist teachers should they be?

Therefore, when it was Wang Xu's turn to speak, Wang Xu expressed his concerns, and suggested to examine Hans Country's specialist system, which is a model that Wang Xu believes is more suitable for future development.

Although he doesn't know what kind of education is more suitable for Huaxia, he knows that it is not the best way to blindly expand undergraduate education. In the end, the unlimited expansion of undergraduates is to push back the age of employment and raise the threshold for employment.

From the point of view of the whole society, it actually caused a huge waste. Later generations interviewed to build airplanes, screwed at work just to screen out most people, and units with slightly better treatment would be filled with various resumes.

But when it comes to real work, you can actually pick any one at random. The phenomenon that a doctor interviews a cleaner for only one establishment can only be said to be a deformity.

However, a large number of real technician positions are often unable to recruit people. For 3000 yuan, you can’t find a migrant worker, you can only find a college student, but no college student will do the work of a migrant worker.

This is not an extreme case in later generations, but a relatively common phenomenon.

This is not a bad mentality of college students, but a simple input-output problem. If you want to do the work of migrant workers, you can do it seven years ago. Why should you invest more human, material and financial resources in these seven years.

Your output cannot match the cost of input, so naturally no one is willing to do it, so there will be frequent exposure of college students who would rather be old than bow their heads.

The older generation of the working class leads everything, and the state-owned system creates a large number of big pots, and the separation from the market leads to a decline in competitiveness.

But at the same time, you also need to see the rationality of the system at that time, such as the famous technician system, which allowed every worker to have a clear promotion ladder and get a higher income, unlike later generations, where everyone rushes to manage There is no way to advance into a purely technical position.

The rank system developed by Ari later became popular in the IT circle. In fact, it is just a variant of the technician system.

Due to the popularization of nine-year compulsory education, elementary vocational education has been basically eliminated in later generations. This is a good thing, and it can be said to play an important role in improving the knowledge level of the whole people.

It would be unimaginable for future generations to go to the countryside through various networks without this kind of improvement in the knowledge level of the whole people.

However, if the path of high school and university is taken as the only path, it would be too rigid. After all, not everyone has the talent for reading. The two thresholds of the high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination have stopped a large number of students.

Enrollment expansion seems to have produced a lot of undergraduates, but among the large number of second-education and third-education students, very few can actually become engineers, and many have become draftsmen, operators, experimenters, and inspectors.

But these skills are missing in undergraduate education. They have to relearn after entering the society in order to master skills rather than knowledge.

Regardless of whether it is a waste of national funds, the waste of youth for these young people is huge.

The college system of Hans State was established to solve this problem. As for the specific situation, Wang Xu has never studied it. He only knows that the workers there have their own promotion channels, and they can achieve professional advancement through continuous continuing education. promotion.

This is obviously a very good supplement to the market situation that is seriously lacking skilled workers in later generations.

In the second decade of the 21st century, the price of finding a qualified carpenter may be much higher than finding a copywriter. This is the choice of the market. Now that Wang Xu knows it, he will naturally speak out.

Wang Xu talked freely about his guesses and inferences about the future. Although it seems a bit advanced in this era, the layout of education can take two or three decades to be effective. If Wang Xu doesn't say it now, it may be too late.

But after all, he has never really studied this subject, so he can only imagine and make reasonable speculations about possible situations.

He only made a suggestion, and didn't really put forward his own solution. He really didn't understand, and he didn't want to pretend that he didn't understand, which would only increase the laughing stock.

This is the first time that Wang Xu has given a lengthy speech at such a policy seminar, and the content of the exposition is far more in-depth than that of the news interview.

He just chatted for 10 minutes, and the big leaders in the ministry actually listened to him so seriously for 10 minutes.

The core idea is not a specific implementation plan, but to open up the two paths of knowledge promotion and skill promotion, so that both can have upward space with personal development.

Moreover, the two paths need to be able to flow with each other, and the setting policy should retain the possibility of jumping, that is, if the path of knowledge learning is not good, there is still a chance to jump to the path of skill promotion, and vice versa.

Of course, there must be a difference in income between the two paths. In a peaceful country, knowledge promotion may yield higher income, but it is more difficult.

The skill promotion may obtain a lower maximum income, but at the same time the difficulty is less, so as to balance the choice of the two paths.

Let the smartest brain do the things that need the brain the most, let the most dexterous hands do the things that need the hands the most, instead of the other way around, this is Wang Xu's understanding of education.

Higher education will also affect primary education in turn. What is quality is not only singing, dancing, calligraphy and painting, but also excavating machines and lathes.
