Chinese entertainment for engineering students

However, when Wang Xu was asked to speak, he took a detour and put forward his views on the vocational education system.

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

Except for a few professional colleges and universities, most colleges and universities cannot grasp the key points at all. Both teachers and students are in a state of high confusion.

All of this stems from the ambiguity of the positioning of vocational colleges. Of course, this ambiguity does not exist now, but gradually emerged with the expansion of undergraduate enrollment.

Nowadays, whether it is undergraduate or junior college, because the number of students is very small, the entire employment environment is in a state of supply exceeding demand. Therefore, it is good to recruit a bachelor's degree, but if it is not possible, find a junior college.

There is a superior-subordinate relationship between the two routes, rather than a left-right and right-hand relationship. Coupled with the existence of the promotion path of transferring from junior college to bachelor's degree, the junior college has become a relatively inferior undergraduate.

As the reform of colleges and universities unfolds, many current vocational colleges have slowly and successfully been promoted to undergraduate programs.

Some were merged by other institutions and became undergraduate programs.

The quality of the remaining junior colleges was originally the weaker one. Later, some new junior colleges were born, and even some private junior colleges were born.

The reform of colleges and universities and the expansion of college enrollment have greatly expanded the number of undergraduates, but in the process, they have inadvertently placed junior colleges and undergraduates on the same development path.

The previously blurry boundaries have become even more blurry. Apart from the difficulty difference, there is almost no other difference between the professional courses of junior college and undergraduate students. Junior college has completely become a small undergraduate course.

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

But think about it, if you had a sum of money to develop a project, would you let specialist teachers do it? Did he really go to a vocational college to become a teacher instead of an undergraduate college because he liked it?

As a result, a large number of junior college teachers are completely confused. If they can do scientific research, what kind of junior college teachers can they be?

Therefore, when it was Wang Xu's turn to speak, Wang Xu expressed his concerns and suggested that he investigate Hansi's junior college system, which Wang Xu believed was a model that was more suitable for future development.

Although he does not know what kind of education is more suitable for China, he knows that blindly expanding undergraduate education is not the best way. In the final analysis, unlimited expansion of undergraduates will push back the age of employment and raise the threshold for employment.

From the perspective of the whole society, it actually caused a huge waste. In later generations, people were interviewed to build airplanes and tighten screws just to screen out most people. Units with slightly better treatment would be filled with various resumes.

But when it comes to actual work, you can actually be qualified if you pick any one. The phenomenon of doctors interviewing cleaners only for one establishment can only be said to be an anomaly.

However, a large number of real technician positions are often unable to recruit people. If you can't find a migrant worker for 3,000 yuan, 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 could have done it seven years ago. Why should you invest more human, material and financial resources in the past seven years?

If your output cannot match the cost of input, naturally no one will be willing to do it, so there will be frequent exposures of college students who would rather gnaw at their old age than bow their heads.

The older generation of the working class leads everything, and the state-owned system has resulted in a large number of people eating from one pot. Being separated from the market has led to a decline in competitiveness.

But at the same time, you must also see the rationality in the system at that time, such as the famous technician system, which allowed every worker to have a clear promotion ladder and earn a higher income, unlike in later generations, where everyone rushed to manage As jobs advance, there is no way for purely technical positions to advance.

The rank system created by Ahri later became popular in the IT circle. In fact, it was just a variation of the technician system.

Due to the popularization of nine-year compulsory education, primary vocational education was basically eliminated in later generations. This is a good thing and plays an important role in improving the knowledge level of the whole people.

It would be unimaginable for later generations to go to the countryside through various networks without this improvement in the knowledge level of the entire population.

However, it would be too rigid to take high school and college as the only path. After all, not everyone has the talent to study. The two thresholds of the high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination block a large number of students.

The expansion of enrollment seems to have produced many more undergraduates, but among the large number of students with two or three undergraduate degrees, only a few can truly become engineers, while many can become draftsmen, operators, experimenters, and inspectors.

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

Not to mention whether it is a waste of national funds, it is a huge waste of the youth of these young people.

The junior college system in Hans Country was established to solve this problem. As for the specific situation, Wang Xu has not studied it. He only knows that the workers there have their own promotion paths and can achieve professional advancement through continuous continuing education. promotion.

This is obviously a very good supplement for the market situation in later generations where there is a serious shortage of skilled workers.

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

Wang Xu talked freely about his speculations and inferences about the future. Although it seems a bit advanced in this era, the layout of education often takes 20 to 30 years to achieve results. If Wang Xu doesn't say it now, it may be too late.

But after all, he had never really studied this topic, so he could only use his imagination 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 to understand and make it a laughing stock.

This is the first time that Wang Xu has made a long speech at such a policy seminar, and the content he elaborated is far more in-depth than in a news interview.

He just chatted for twenty minutes, but the big leader of the department actually listened to his twenty-minute talk so seriously.

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

Moreover, the two paths need to be able to flow into each other, and the setting policy should retain the possibility of jumping. That is, if the path of knowledge learning does not go well, there is still an opportunity to jump to the path of skills promotion, and vice versa.

Of course, there is definitely a difference in benefits between the two paths. In a peaceful country, knowledge promotion may have higher benefits, but it is more difficult.

Skill promotion may have a lower maximum benefit, but at the same time it will be less difficult, so that the choice of the two paths can be balanced.

Let the smartest brains do the things that require the most brains, and let the most dexterous hands do the things that require the hands the most, rather than the other way around. This is Wang Xu's understanding of education.

Higher education will also affect primary education in turn. What is quality? It is not just singing, dancing, calligraphy and painting that is quality. The same goes for excavators and lathes.
