After many days of bustling people coming and going, Peking University's access control system has changed. Teachers do not need to brush their faces when they drive into the school, nor do they need to walk out of the school.
Some readers left me a message, saying that this change was so sudden, as if it was a spring breeze, but it quietly brought a piece of tranquility to the campus.
Some friends also told me that every day, when walking around the campus of Peking University, looking at the doors that used to need to swipe cards and scan faces, there is always a faint joy in my heart. This is not only a change in the access control system, but also a kind of respect for freedom and the dignity of teachers.
I replied, you think too much!The previous access control system of Peking University was designed from the perspective of school management and security control, and this time the change was not complete at all.
With this change, let's think about the story behind the access control system. Why is there such a change?
Is it a reduction in safety risks, or is there a real concern for teachers' rights?
It is the trust in modern technology that allows the system to automatically identify the identity of teachers, reducing their burden
So many people pay attention to the access control on the campus of Peking University, the core underlying logic, in fact, this is a dialogue about freedom and respect in society.
It's been so long since the epidemic ended in stages?Why are university campuses still denied entry in disguise?
As we pursue security, can we find more innovative ways to ensure safety and give individuals more freedom?
In the pursuit of efficient and convenient technology, can we pay more attention to humanistic care, so that technology can truly serve people, instead of making people busy for technology?
Universities should not be ivory towers!We need to think about how to modernize while preserving human care, and how to ensure individual freedom while pursuing security
Universities have been expanding their enrollment for so many years!With the popularization of mass education, universities should not be the unattainable ivory towers of the past, but should be part of a close connection with society.
We need to transform the role of universities from traditional knowledge transmitters to agents of social innovation and progress. In this era of change, we need to re-examine the nature of universities and emphasize the importance of their interaction with society, so that they can be more relevant to reality and more powerfully lead the development of society.
Traditionally, universities have been considered a far-flung place with an independent culture and value system. Shouldn't today's universities abandon this idea of isolation?Shouldn't there be a closer connection with society?Then you lock the door like this, blocking the road, why don't you let people in?
Further, universities should become think tanks for society, providing intellectual support for solving real-world problems. There are a lot of problems that the university needs to solve, such as:In areas such as environmental issues, social equity and sustainable development, universities can provide viable solutions to society through research and innovation, and guide society towards a more sustainable and just direction.
Universities should not regress, traditional university education focuses on the teaching of subject knowledge, but in today's society, a single professional knowledge often cannot meet the complex and changing needs of society.
Universities should pay more attention to students' comprehensive literacy, including the cultivation of critical thinking, innovation ability, teamwork, etc. Such comprehensive literacy will enable students to better adapt to the development trend of the future society, better solve various problems, and become active members of the society.
There is a certain disconnect between traditional university education and industry, which makes it difficult for some scientific research results to be translated into practical applications. Universities should take the initiative to establish cooperative relationships with enterprises and scientific research institutions to promote academic research to better serve society and industry. By working together, universities can better understand the needs of society, and industry can better leverage the power of university research to drive their own innovation and development.
The recent curfew incident would like to tell everyone one thing, that is, universities should not be separated from their cultural and humanistic roots, and should maintain their commitment to humanistic care while promoting social and technological progress.
Humanistic literacy plays an important role in cultivating a sense of civic responsibility, social participation, and cross-cultural communication skills. Universities should pay attention to cultivating students' humanistic spirit while educating them in professional knowledge, so that they can be more concerned about the development of society and have a greater sense of social responsibility.
Universities should not be isolated ivory towers, but should actively participate in society and provide intellectual support for the solution of social problems.
Universities should cultivate more comprehensive literacy in students to adapt to the changing needs of society. Universities and industry should work more closely together to promote technological innovation and industrial upgrading.
Universities should maintain humanistic care and cultivate students' humanistic qualities. Only in this way can universities better fulfill their social responsibilities and become leaders of social progress, rather than just independent institutions for the transfer of knowledge.
What is a university?The ancients said: The ancients went out at the age of eight, learned from the small and the small. Tie your hair and go to university, learn greatly, and perform great festivals.
