With the development of the times, the form of university education is constantly changing. Teacher Zhang Xuefeng believes that after 20 years, it is still necessary to go to university, but the form and duration of university may change greatly. He made some points, such as changing the length of some university majors to three years, and students not having to go to university consecutively. Such changes are aimed at better adapting to the division of labour and the actual needs of society.
I feel this too. With the continuous development of science and technology and the continuous progress of society, the problems and challenges we face are also constantly changing. The traditional school system and education model may no longer fully meet our needs. Therefore, based on my personal experience and observations, I believe that university education needs to be closer to practice in the future and focus on cultivating practical application ability.
In the real world, we often find that recent graduates face many practical problems after entering the workplace. This is because there is a gap between the knowledge and skills provided by a university education and the needs of the workplace. As a result, some people believe that university education and workplace training should be done as the same course. This approach can better help students adapt to the workplace environment smoothly after graduation and reduce the exploration and confusion in practical work.
I share that view. I have experienced the confusion and anxiety of entering the workplace right after graduation. At that time, I found that I faced problems in the real world of work that I often did not come into contact with during my college years. If university education can focus more on developing practical application skills, so that students are exposed to more practical work experience during their time in school, then they will be more comfortable and confident to face career challenges after graduation.
In the face of increasing competition in the workplace, we have had to rethink the importance of skills and diplomas for employment. On the one hand, some students may have mastered many practical skills through self-study or tutoring by private teachers, without attending a day of formal school. These students may have a strong edge in technology, but they may have difficulties in the job search process because they do not have a diploma.
On the other hand, some people may improve their competitiveness by pursuing further education and pursuing a higher education. However, in reality, the selection criteria for talent in companies and HR departments are also changing. They are more focused on practical skills and work experience than just academic qualifications.
For this question, I believe that the choice of skills and diploma is the result of a combination of both parties. In the job search process, we can't just rely on academic qualifications to gain an advantage, and we can't ignore the importance of practical skills. At the same time, companies and HR departments also need to re-examine their recruitment requirements for talents, and pay more attention to the actual work ability and potential exploration.
There are different views on the value and significance of a university education. It has been argued that the main purpose of university education is to develop one's thinking skills and critical spirit, thereby improving the overall quality. However, there are also those who believe that universities should pay more attention to cultivating the consistency of practical application technology and market demand.
In response to this question, I believe that university education should consider both the cultivation of people's thinking skills and practical application skills. The cultivation of critical thinking and innovation is an important task of university education, which helps to develop students' ability to think independently and solve problems. At the same time, university education should also pay attention to market demand and cultivate practical application skills that are in line with the development of the times.
At present, with the continuous development of society, our education system is also in urgent need of reform and adjustment. We should not just stay in the old ideas and traditional models, but should actively explore new educational models and methods. For example, more vocational skills training and practical courses can be introduced to increase students' practical work experience and improve their career competitiveness.
In addition, the reform and adjustment of the education system also requires the joint efforts of more educators and experts. As an important part of higher education, universities need to actively connect with society and industry to better serve social and economic development. It is only through in-depth research and exploration that we can find better educational pathways that provide better support and guidance for students' future development.
Looking back at the article as a whole, it is not difficult to see that the form and meaning of university education is changing. In the next 20 years, university education will still be necessary, but it needs to be reformed and adjusted to meet the needs of society more in line with real needs. University education should focus on developing students' practical skills so that they can better adapt to the workplace.
At the same time, the reform and adjustment of the education system also requires the joint efforts of each and every one of us. As students and educators, we should actively think and explore new educational models and methods to provide better support for students' development. Only through continuous learning and Xi innovation can we better meet the challenges of the future and realize the value of individuals and the progress of society.
