Recently, a news that "Tsinghua University has stopped recruiting students for civil engineering and other majors" has caused an uproar on the Internet. Many self-accounts** have aroused widespread concern and heated discussions in the society. But what is the truth of the matter? How did Tsinghua University respond? Let's do it.
It is understood that the cause of this turmoil is a screenshot of Tsinghua's "List of Major Settings, New Majors in the Year, and Suspended Majors in the 2023-2024 Academic Year". In this list, we see a number of familiar professional names included in the suspension list, including water conservancy and hydropower engineering, civil engineering, hydraulic science and engineering, engineering management, etc. The news quickly spread across the network, causing widespread attention and discussion.
However, the relevant person in charge of the Propaganda Department of the Party Committee of Tsinghua University said that this was a pure misunderstanding. They explained that Tsinghua University has implemented large-scale enrollment training and management since 2017, and the names of some enrollment majors have changed. The original single majors such as civil engineering, water conservancy and engineering management have been combined with the name of "civil engineering, water conservancy and ocean engineering", and will no longer be recruited separately. This is a normal professional renewal in the midst of educational reform.
This explanation seems to put an end to the turmoil, but it also provokes us to think more deeply. Why is Tsinghua University carrying out such educational reforms? What impact will such a reform have on the future of students?
First of all, we must understand that education reform is inevitable for the development of the times. With the continuous progress of society and the continuous innovation of science and technology, the traditional education model has been difficult to meet the needs of modern society. Therefore, Tsinghua University has carried out the reform of large-scale enrollment training and management, aiming to better meet the needs of the development of the times and cultivate talents with more innovative ability and comprehensive quality.
Secondly, such a reform is also conducive to the all-round development of students. By merging multiple single majors into broad majors, students can gain a more comprehensive understanding of the knowledge in various fields and broaden their horizons. At the same time, the teaching of major majors also pays more attention to cultivating students' practical ability and innovative spirit, which is conducive to students' future career development to better adapt to the needs of society.
However, the reform has not been without its challenges. In the midst of this turmoil, we have also seen the worries and doubts of some students and parents about the reform. They are concerned that the reforms will affect students' employment prospects and development space. I think we should look at this rationally. Reform is a long-term process that cannot be achieved overnight. In the process of reform, we will inevitably encounter some difficulties and challenges. However, as long as we strengthen our confidence and forge ahead bravely, we will certainly be able to overcome these difficulties and achieve better development of education.
At the same time, we should also recognize that education reform requires the joint participation and efforts of the whole society. **Schools, parents, students and other parties should actively participate in the education reform and jointly contribute to the development of education. Only in this way can we push forward the education reform and cultivate more outstanding talents for the future of the country.
In closing, I would like to say that education reform is a long and complex process. In this process, we may encounter various difficulties and challenges. However, as long as we strengthen our confidence, maintain rationality, and work together, we will certainly be able to overcome these difficulties and achieve better development of education. Let's look forward to Tsinghua University's more brilliant achievements in the future education reform.
