Netizens suggested that the normal colleges and universities should be withdrawn, where will they go in the future?
The proposal put forward by some netizens on the Internet message board to merge the universities and ordinary universities of Hunan, Heilongjiang and Shanxi provinces has now been officially adopted by Hunan and Heilongjiang provinces.
Hunan Province said that in order to cope with the new situation brought about by the changes in the source of students in the development of higher education, the Provincial Department of Education conducted a special investigation on the design of disciplines and majors in colleges and universities in the province, and formed the "Implementation Plan for the Adjustment and Optimization of Discipline Majors in Ordinary Colleges and Universities in Hunan Province". At the same time, supervise and guide the province's normal colleges to optimize the professional structure, do a good job in the training of non-normal professionals, up to now, there have been 8 normal colleges (Hunan Provincial Preschool Normal School) set up (for the record) 35 non-normal majors (for the record). In the next stage, the Provincial Department of Education will guide qualified normal colleges to explore the road of transformation and development through resource integration and other ways according to social needs and changes in the source of students.
Heilongjiang Province replied: Thank you for your concern and attention to the education work in Heilongjiang Province, and the relevant departments are studying and solving it.
Higher normal education, how to develop, in the case of declining birth population, expansion of colleges and universities, the implementation of the double reduction policy, and the shortage of high-quality talents, the development of normal colleges and universities is an important issue that needs to be considered, but at present, the Ministry of Education has clearly stipulated that normal colleges can not be normalized, normal colleges and secondary schools are in a passive situation, and the competent departments of education should review the situation in the future series of college construction. This also concerns higher education and basic education. Netizens expressed their opinions on the abolition of normal colleges in several provinces. All provinces should fully listen to their opinions, strive to adjust the direction of running normal colleges as soon as possible, take timely measures to transform normal colleges, and make plans in advance.
First of all, it is necessary to strengthen the normal colleges"Teacher"Attribute. Teacher education"It has the dual task of training teachers in basic education and education teachers, and both are indispensable. In order to strengthen basic education, it is also necessary for normal colleges and universities to train a contingent of high-quality teachers and form a stable group of basic teacher education. At present, great achievements have been made in the construction of the teaching staff of basic education in China, and it can be said that the requirements have been basically met. In view of the diversified development of comprehensive university education majors and normal college education majors, there is an urgent need to strengthen high-level normal colleges and university-level normal colleges"Teacher education"attributes, and not of high-level pedagogical colleges"Teacher education"Attribute. (to.)"Teacher education"As the main line, at least 60% of teacher education degree programs should be integrated, and degree programs such as medicine and agriculture should be abolished).
2) Promote the positive transformation of normal colleges. As we all know, the basic education teacher team is basically stable, but due to the implementation of the double decline policy, the decline of the school-age population, the demand for teacher education, the shortage of high-quality talents and other factors, the overall strength of the normal colleges should plan for transformation as soon as possible, or through mergers and other ways to optimize the direction and structure of running schools. In some poor and backward areas with scarce educational resources, they can be transformed into colleges and universities with the strong support of the province to meet the demand for teachers for basic education, or they can be merged with other universities, but reduce the number of teacher education majors and short-term enrollment plans, and transform into comprehensive universities as appropriate. The education and economically developed regions are currently in a strong position for transformation and development, especially into polytechnics, technical universities and applied universities, in order to train professional and qualified personnel.
It is true that there is relatively little investment in teacher training schools, but in some places there is a frenzied effort to build higher normal schools in order to enter universities or fill gaps in universities.
In Hunan Province alone, there are 16 normal colleges, of which Hunan Normal University is the only high-level normal college, and there are 10 specialized normal colleges. I don't know what Hunan Province and the cities concerned think. In my opinion, at present, there should be a Hunan Normal University, a Hengyang Normal College, a Hunan No. 1 Normal School, and a Changsha Normal College, a high school with Hunan Normal University as the main body, a junior high school with Hengyang Normal University as the main body, a high school with Changsha Normal University as the main body, a high school affiliated to Hunan Normal University as a key high school, a Hengyang Normal College as a key middle school, Changsha Normal College as a key high school, a high school affiliated to Hunan Normal University as a key middle school, Hengyang Normal College as a key middle school, and Changsha Normal College as a key primary school. A maximum of 2-3 preschool teacher training colleges are set up, and the remaining 8-9 teacher training colleges are set up. All colleges and universities are transformed into higher vocational schools or general application-oriented colleges.
