Many colleges and universities across the country have successively announced their opening to the public, which has attracted wide attention from urban migrant workers. The reporter of "Workers**" found that "taking children to campus" has become a popular activity for migrant workers in the city during the winter vacation, and various interesting campus activities and educational resources have also been loved by children.
Grandpa, my sister and I went to college! On February 20, Ji Ran took her daughter to pay New Year's greetings to the elders in her hometown, and the child excitedly talked about the experience during the winter vacation. After leaving Beijing for four years, Ji Ran returned to Minquan County, Shangqiu, Henan Province to take care of her twin daughters, and she always had a thought in her heart: "I want to take my children again and come to the university in Beijing to have a look." ”
Just before the winter vacation of 2023, Peking University, Renmin University of Chinese, Beijing University of Foreign Chinese, Zhejiang University, Wuhan University and many other universities have opened to the public one after another. The reporter of "Workers**" found that this has received widespread attention from urban migrant workers: whether they are working in the city in stages or have already gained a firm foothold in the city, these migrant workers are looking forward to bringing their children to the university campus.
Visiting colleges and universities has become a popular activity during the winter vacation.
January 27 was a Saturday and there were a lot of people in the morning, especially parents and children. Ji Ran clearly remembers that on the day she took her children to Peking University, there was a long queue outside the school gate to visit the school, and Ji Ran's family also took a group photo at the school gate.
Ji Ran was a left-behind child in his childhood, and his parents were busy working hard for the children in the scaffolding of high-rise buildings in the city all year round. In the past ten years since graduating from junior high school, Ji Ran has worked in Kunshan, Shenzhen, Beijing and other places. When the children reach the literacy school grade, Ji Ran chooses to return to her hometown to accompany them to learn and grow.
At the beginning of this year, when she learned that her husband was going to stay in Beijing to work during the Spring Festival, the idea of taking her children to Beijing for the Spring Festival became stronger and stronger. "At that time, many prestigious universities announced that they would open their campuses to the public, which was just a good time to take their children to visit and open their eyes with the educational atmosphere and resources of the university. Before leaving for Beijing, Ji Ran studied the university visit strategy early, and left immediately after the child's final exam.
I made an appointment to visit Fudan University, it's close! Li Peng, who has been in Shanghai for nearly 20 years, has also included a visit to the university in his children's winter vacation plan. Over the years, he has no special goals and requirements for his children's education, but he has become more and more aware of the importance of broadening his horizons, and visiting university campuses is the most intuitive way for him to do so.
It is important for universities to be open to the public, especially to migrant workers and their children. Zheng Linyi, a distinguished associate researcher at the China Rural Development Research Institute of Zhejiang University, said that the open university campus has made "entering the university" no longer stay in the "dream" and "thought" of migrant workers and their children in the city.
Campus activities are popular with migrant children.
Weiming Lake and Boya Tower are the first stops that Ji Ran takes the children to visit. "There are a lot of people skating on the lake. Ji Ran recalled that she rented an ice car for her two daughters, and later pulled up a "train" with other tourists: "The ice car was connected and skated together, like a train, and there were people shouting '121' slogans." ”
Looking at the smiling faces of her daughters, Ji Ran felt a little trance, the quaint Boya Tower and the snow-white Weiming Lake complemented each other, and the young figure played freely on the vast ice, this was the day she had been looking forward to for a long time when she went to school, and now it has become a reality in the children, "It's so good! She sighed.
You're here to visit, right? When Ji Ran left the ice rink with his daughter, an old man who was walking around the corner stopped them and recommended a "good place" - the biological herbarium, "There are many animal and plant specimens in it." ”
Peacocks, butterflies, red-crowned cranes, ......The children were dazzled by the variety of animal and plant specimens, "and they lay in front of the glass of the display case and kept asking me, 'What is this?'" Ji Ran said with a smile, in fact, he couldn't answer, but fortunately, there was a text introduction at the bottom of the display cabinet and *** Nini also compared the specimens with the chickens, ducks and geese in their hometown, dancing on the ground, but happy. ”
The school's spoonful pool, Mingde Building, etc., have become popular check-in spots. A student at the School of Journalism at Chinese University told reporters that since January this year, he and his classmates have obviously felt that there have been more tourists on campus.
The reporter noticed that "openness" has become a key word for more and more colleges and universities recently. In order to give better play to the educational function, many colleges and universities have also begun to work the tour routes and content. For example, Tsinghua University has launched a free official study tour, planning a number of tours and interpretation routes, and telling campus scenery and historical stories for visitors to the campus; Zhejiang University announced as early as March 15 last year that it would open its campus to the whole society; The Chinese University of China has opened the on-campus museum for free, and visitors can visit the campus directly after making an appointment.
Explore the public value of campus openness.
Knowing that many colleges and universities have begun to open to the public, Yabin, who has been working in Zhengzhou for 10 years, took his children to visit Tsinghua University during the winter vacation. In his opinion, the significance of this visit is to let children take this opportunity to explore the majors they want to study, what they want to do, and the people they want to become when they grow up.
In this regard, Zheng Linyi also said that on the one hand, it can motivate the enthusiasm and strength of migrant workers to invest in their children's education, help their children grow into talents, and realize intergenerational mobility and class jumping, on the other hand, it will help children establish the belief of diligent study and pursuit of new knowledge, and "realize the ideal of life to change destiny with knowledge".
The opening of colleges and universities to the public has sent a positive and good signal. Chu Zhaohui, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Education Sciences, believes that universities should be open to the public, and society should also have an open mind about this. He suggested that colleges and universities can arrange more activities that meet the needs of the children of migrant workers in the city according to their actual situation, so as to realize the orderly opening of campuses.
The basic bottom line of university opening should be a limited and inclusive openness, and its basic bottom line is not to interfere with the normal teaching, scientific research and living order of teachers and students, and the core essence is the two-way development and common growth of the university and society. Zheng also mentioned that universities have public attributes, and their opening requires the joint efforts of all sectors of society.
Before leaving the campus, Ji Ran bought postcards and badges from Peking University for the children, "The daughters are going to take souvenirs back to their hometown, hoping that one day, they can return here with the badges." ”
