What kind of universities does China need?

20 17 exchange struggle group for postgraduate entrance examination: 5 14068096

The question about China University has long attracted the attention of the world, especially what kind of university China needs. Not only officials of the Ministry of Education or experts in education have the right and obligation to talk about this topic, but every intellectual who cares about social development and everyone in every household has the right and obligation.

Universities in the media: listing all universities is not a good idea.

Our concern for universities should begin with the college entrance examination, which was once closely related to our own destiny. Needless to say, it is almost a national mobilization, and the same program is staged every year, but we can never get tired of watching it. From the escort of test papers, the surrounding environment of the examination room, the temperature in those days, the anxious waiting of parents outside the examination room, to how the traffic police maintain order and how the police car transports the wrong candidates, there are such touching stories every year. Next, the teacher read the papers, and the relevant departments announced the admission scores and the enrollment places of famous schools in this province and city. Then, some people rejoice and others sigh. Academic circles began to debate whether it is necessary for students who failed to get into key universities to repeat their studies, what is the future of choosing private universities, whether it is cost-effective for small international students to go abroad, and then whether it is the turn of poor students to go to college, whether there is a reward for the champion of the college entrance examination, and whether the disparity in admission scores among provinces and cities is fair. Freshmen have told a lot of "stories" before entering school. This is just a routine, and there are many emergencies on weekdays. A series of problems, such as graduate students' cheating in entrance examination, plagiarism of academic works, and old professors' newlyweds, may become excellent social news and appear on any page of the newspaper.

The external reasons why universities have become social hotspots are as follows: First, the political system, academic development and economic and legal environment in modern China have been inextricably linked with universities for more than 100 years. Today, most people can clearly see the great influence of universities on China's social progress. Second, due to the continuous expansion of enrollment and the popularization of higher education, the right and wrong of universities involve thousands of families. Although he is a vegetable seller, he only has a primary school education, but his child is in graduate school, and he is also interested in caring about things in college. Third, most media people have received university education, and their interests determine that universities can become social news. Fourthly, university professors are becoming more and more famous, the best of which earn less than sports or entertainment stars, but there are also many staunch "fans", and their words and deeds are equally newsworthy. More importantly, there are internal reasons: first, there are problems in China's university system and educational methods; Secondly, like its social environment, China University is also undergoing transformation. Thirdly, it is precisely because there are problems and it is possible to develop in all directions that the public has the enthusiasm for criticism and suggestions. The last point can't be ignored: the topic of university is not a "forbidden area". Although some words are not full of meaning, they are better than before.

One question, too much media attention and too many news reports (both positive and negative), is it a good thing for universities?

Foreign university campuses are much quieter than ours. There is not so much noise, not so much concern, and not so many opportunities to appear in the media. The media pay attention to the present, need excitement, pursue the long-term, and must be calm. In my opinion, getting too close to each other is not a good thing. I'm talking about the whole social atmosphere, that is, paying too much attention to exposure and not targeting specific schools or media.

It is very difficult to run a first-class university, which requires the enthusiastic encouragement of the society, the arduous journey of people in the university, the accumulation and the sprint, and may not be successful. It is not the best schools that appear most in the media. The media represents the public interest, and it pays attention to universities. For its own reasons, universities must have their own orientation, vision and mind. There are different opinions on how to treat the image of universities in the media, but there is no denying that: First, every move on campus may involve the whole society. Second, all social problems, good and bad, in China during the transitional period are reflected in the university campus. The university is not a paradise, and the wall has long existed in name only. Third, it is not a good idea that the so-called universities adapt to the needs of social development, which can not be simply understood as "order-based service" to push all universities to the market.

From a Big Education Country to a Powerful Education Country

People who care about China's education will probably admit the fact that China is a big country in education, but it is not a strong country in education. Many people have noticed that the gross enrollment rate of higher education in China was 19% in 2004, and the scale of higher education has surpassed that of the United States, ranking first in the world. As far as academic strength is concerned, it is generally believed in academic circles that Tsinghua of Peking University can only rank around 200 or 300, and cannot be ranked in the top 100. Of course, if you bring academic reputation and practical influence, that is another matter. During the centennial celebration of Peking University, I made a famous boast: in terms of teaching and scientific research level, Peking University is not and cannot be "world-class" in a short time, but its contribution to human civilization is probably unmatched by many world-class universities. Because, at the critical moment of the rise of an ancient oriental country, a university has played such a huge role, and such opportunities are actually rare. What I want to say is that university ranking depends on cultural background and theoretical design. Even influential foreign rankings have their own advantages and blind spots. There is nothing to be proud of when you say you are seventeen, and there is no need to be discouraged when you say you are two hundred.

What I'm saying is that most university presidents in China now have ideals and want to do things and do great things. Such a positive interest, if not supplemented by down-to-earth efforts, can easily become a show-off gesture, keen to do superficial things. Understand that it is not easy to run a university, run a university well and run a first-class university. Look at the progress of Huada with a normal heart, not to mention high standards, not to mention rankings and awards.

Academics stress accumulation. It is not enough to have a little talent, but also to have many academic steps, which cannot be achieved overnight. Students often ask, when can we have our own independent theoretical system? If you don't want to learn to walk, you just want to sprint and break the world record. This mentality is very common. At first, I will praise them as "ambitious". Now, in turn, I criticize them for being "selfish" and "lazy". I think about the flowers and applause after breaking the record, and don't want to be a paving stone. A generation, no, several generations, only a few people have won the title of science. Other people's work is probably just a foreshadowing. There is no denying that knowledge is constantly advancing, but most of it is progressing bit by bit, and one day it will reach a "scientific revolution." This academic view of history seems to have been subverted now. You can see reports in the media and make exciting progress every day. The only thing I don't understand is that if we are only three to five days ahead, it will be too easy to fill in the blanks.

Scholars of the older generation are rigorous or even plain, which does not prevent us from respecting them. It's different now. Most of the new generation of scholars have become glib and eloquent. I can't say I haven't tried, but obviously, I speak far better than I do. This is not a personal personality problem, but an academic system problem. It is said that the academic circles in China have been impetuous in recent years. Why? In my opinion, the biggest reason is various high-sounding academic awards. I admit that "there is a brave man who rewards you", but I don't believe that judging can help you learn anything. For humanists, the power of independent thinking, the mentality of leisurely learning and the time of leisurely learning are the most important. In my impression, the most award-winning industries are those that are prone to fraud. The less confident you are, the less quality you can guarantee, and the more you need various awards to "escort". Three small conclusions are drawn: First, China University has a long way to go to become a world-class university; Secondly, to improve China's academic level, we should not be anxious or take tonics indiscriminately; Thirdly, too much planning, inspection and acceptance, and too frequent academic awards are not conducive to academic development.

Universities need more "knowledge" and "spirit".

193 1 Mei Yiqi, the president of Tsinghua University, has a passage in his inaugural speech, which has been often quoted in recent years: "The so-called great scholar is not an architect, but a master." Architecture and masters represent the two pillars of running a school: money and learning. Both are very important, but the world pays more attention to visible buildings, so it is necessary for Mei Yiqi to emphasize the importance of masters. In order to show that he can see the problem more thoroughly, the president of a university suggested that we need both masters and architecture. This is nonsense. When Mei Yiqi presided over Tsinghua, he never said not to build a building. I want to expand this topic a little. When we talk about the importance of "masters" to "universities", our main concern is learning. But in addition to profound "knowledge", universities also need some kind of "spirit" that can only be understood but not expressed. In a sense, these "spirits" which are not reflected in the assessment form can determine the character and destiny of a university. "Architecture" can't replace "master", and there is a lot of talk at present. I want to add that "learning" is not equal to "spirit". To run a university, we must consider it beyond the technical level. The success of a school depends not only on quantifiable papers, patents and awards, but also on the mental state of teachers and students in this university. Students trained by good universities have obvious mental marks. It is not unreasonable to say "teaching and educating people" before. Whether you are cultivating "English gentlemen" or the so-called "new capitalists", you always put people's mental outlook first.

At present, domestic universities are too practical, beyond the imagination of vocational training. The same is true of principals, professors and students. Students in Peking University are often criticized as immature and bookish, but in my opinion, this is not a bad thing. If you haven't graduated from college, you are an antique, like to sit in an office for more than ten years, and you can handle all personnel freely. This is actually terrible. Students should always be idealistic, even if it is unrealistic.

University contradiction: how to coordinate the relationship between teachers and students?

There have been many accidents on university campuses in recent years, so some people are alarmist and say that "the dignity of teachers in 2000 was destroyed at once." I don't agree with this statement. Some of them are under the jurisdiction of criminal law, such as murder, whoring and molesting primary school students, which has little to do with teachers' dignity. As a citizen, no matter what industry you are engaged in, you will be prosecuted if you break the law. If we link this with a specific occupation, for example, at the teachers' meeting, in order to safeguard the dignity of teachers, it is too low-level.

University is a part of society, and there are various contradictions, the most important of which is the contradiction between teachers and students. There must be no contradiction between teachers and students. The key is how to coordinate and make them in a relatively harmonious state as much as possible.

In my opinion, professors don't have to "blend in" with students on campus. Being a class teacher is one thing. If you just teach or take graduate students, it is not necessary. I even believe that professors must keep a certain distance from their students. The majesty of the surface and the warmth of the heart go hand in hand. Too easy-going, lack of principle, easy to discuss everything, easy to make students lose respect for teachers and knowledge, and the effect is not good.

Money is widely used as the evaluation standard in society, and people no longer believe that "knowledge is power" and are no longer arty. Tell a joke. It used to be called the boss teacher, but now it's called the teacher boss. Now, even on university campuses, such titles are popular. It is outrageous to call your tutor "the boss". Between teachers and students, it is no longer a matter of tourism and study, but an employment relationship, which is so sad.

Finally, a small problem is campus etiquette: what to do when you meet a teacher on campus, whether to say hello or not, and how to address him. It is impolite to turn a blind eye and call "teacher is good", as if a primary school student calls teacher XXX, which may affect one's life. The gentleman said, it's better to call him "teacher" without his last name. In my opinion, just be comfortable, not too formal. Or nod and smile, or say hello, or simply avoid it, as the case may be. You don't think it is appropriate for the professor to walk, think, rest, talk intimately or accompany the guests around the campus. You insist on saying hello. Respect the teacher, have this consciousness, but don't force it.
