What is the way out for the normal college? Netizens suggested the discussion of withdrawing and merging the Normal College!
Netizens proposed through the People's Daily Online leadership message board that a number of high school dropout training teachers in Hunan, Heilongjiang, and Shanxi provinces responded.
Hunan Province responded that the Provincial Department of Education actively responded to the new situation of fluctuations in the source of enrollment in colleges and universities, conducted a case study on the structure of colleges and universities in the province and the adjustment of the structure of disciplines and majors, and formulated the "Overall Implementation Plan for the Adjustment, Optimization and Reform of Higher Education Disciplines in Hunan Province". At the same time, it has optimized the supervision and guidance of provincial normal colleges, adjusted the professional structure, implemented non-academic training, and established a total of 35 non-academic training majors (for the record) in 8 normal colleges and universities including Hunan Preschool Normal College. In the next stage, the Hunan Provincial Department of Education will encourage and guide qualified normal colleges to adapt to social needs and changes in students, and explore the transformation and development path of resource integration.
Heilongjiang Province said:'Thank you for your concern and attention to the cause of education in Heilongjiang Province.
After all, how to develop normal colleges and universities, with the decline in the birth rate of the population, the expansion of colleges and universities, the implementation of the double reduction policy, the shortage of high-quality talents, normal colleges and universities are very important, so this problem must be considered, at present, the Ministry of Education and the Institute of Education and Science can not be cultivated, the development of normal higher vocational education has fallen into a passive dead end, or many provincial netizens put forward the proposal of revocation or merger of normal colleges, all provinces should fully consider these suggestions, as soon as possible to adjust the school degree and normal student training plan, Efforts should be made to make arrangements for the transfer of colleges and universities.
First of all, it is necessary to strengthen the training of universities for senior teachers and the educational colleges for training primary school teachers"Teachers"Qualification. The training of university teachers has two functions, one is to train university teachers and the other is to train primary school teachers, both of which are extremely important. If we want to strengthen basic education, the state has always emphasized the training of high-quality teachers and stable basic education teachers in education colleges and universities. Some time ago, we made great strides in the training of primary school teachers, which should make us generally satisfied. With the diversification of teaching subjects in universities and colleges of education, colleges of education and primary teacher training colleges need to be strengthened"Teacher training"rather than integrating the Faculty of Education into it"Faculty of Education"。At least 60% of teacher training courses should be:"Teacher training"Courses, instead of integrating the Faculty of Education, offer courses in medicine and agriculture.
Second, it is necessary to actively promote the reform of normal colleges. It is well known that the number of primary school teachers is generally stable. In view of the implementation of the double reduction policy, the reduction of the school-age population, the requirements for the quality of future teachers and the shortage of qualified teachers, it is necessary to plan the transformation of normal colleges with weak comprehensive strength as soon as possible, or optimize the direction and structure of running schools through merger. In some poor and backward areas with insufficient educational resources, the Ministry of Education can strongly support the transformation into universities to meet the needs of primary school teachers, or merge with other universities, but in the short term, it can reduce the number of teacher training majors and students internally, and eventually transform into comprehensive universities when the conditions are ripe. Regions with developed education and economy can now transform into polytechnics and applied universities, especially to cultivate applied talents.
Local ** cannot run a university for the sake of running a university. The contribution rate of normal colleges and technical colleges is relatively low, and some places run normal colleges and technical colleges only to run universities or fill vacancies in universities, which is irresponsible to students and society.
For example, there are 16 normal colleges in Hunan, but there is only one normal college in Hunan Normal University, and only 10 normal colleges. I don't know what is the purpose of establishing so many normal colleges in Hunan Province and other relevant provinces and cities. In my opinion, it is enough to run the four colleges and universities of Hunan Normal University, Hengyang Normal University, Hunan First Normal University and Changsha Normal University. Hunan Normal University mainly trains high school teachers, Hengyang Normal University trains high school teachers and a small number of high school teachers, Hunan First Normal University trains high school teachers, primary school teachers and a small number of high school teachers, Changsha Normal University trains primary school teachers and high school teachers, and Hunan First Normal University trains primary school teachers and high school teachers. A higher vocational college and at most two or three technical colleges for the training of preschool teachers will suffice, and the remaining ** teacher training colleges will be converted into technical colleges or upgraded to applied general education colleges.
