"At present, there are great difficulties in cultivating senior technical talents in application-oriented undergraduates, and there are not many 'double first-class' universities that currently recruit counterpart higher vocational undergraduates, and the number of enrollment plans arranged is also very small, so it is difficult to attract outstanding junior high school students to choose to study in vocational high schools or secondary vocational schools. Tuo Qingming said.
On the occasion of the two sessions of the National People's Congress, Tuo Qingming, a deputy to the National People's Congress, the dean of the Sichuan Ya'an Education Examination Institute, and the principal of Yucheng District No. 2 Middle School, told The Paper that for this reason, he brought suggestions on increasing the enrollment of "double first-class" universities in the two sessions this year.
Tuo Qingming pointed out that with the rapid development of science and technology, China's industrial development needs a large number of skilled workers who understand cutting-edge science. Standing at the height of the overall situation, the country has formulated a strategic layout for cultivating craftsmen from major countries and promoting the development of the manufacturing industry. At present, the shortage of senior technicians in China has reached more than 20 million, and the contradiction between the supply and demand of senior technicians is still very prominent.
Tuo Qingming said that the country is paying more and more attention to vocational education, but the society has a vague understanding of the positioning of higher vocational and applied undergraduates and the relationship between the two, which directly affects the high-quality development of the modern vocational education system and higher education system.
At present, there is great difficulty in cultivating senior technical talents in application-oriented undergraduates, and there are still teaching facilities that are not advanced enough, teachers are weak, internship opportunities and internship environment are limited for students, and the ability to connect with the world's cutting-edge technology is insufficient. At the same time, according to the survey, there is a fact and trend that the quality of the source of counterpart higher vocational undergraduates and the number of "double first-class" universities enrolling counterpart higher vocational undergraduates have both declined.
To this end, Tuo Qingming suggested that the Ministry of Education clearly require all provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions to increase the enrollment plan of "double first-class" universities to recruit counterpart higher vocational undergraduates; The education departments of cities, prefectures, counties and districts have increased the publicity and promotion of higher vocational undergraduates, especially to publicize the prospects and outlets of "double first-class" universities to high-quality junior high school students, and control the source of students from the exit; The "double first-class" universities should be appropriately inclined to the corresponding higher vocational undergraduates, and at the same time, the research on the training and selection mode of higher vocational undergraduates should be strengthened, so as to attract more high-quality junior high school students to study in vocational high schools and secondary vocational schools and be successfully admitted to high-quality colleges and universities, so as to achieve the "combination of strong and strong" and lay a solid foundation for cultivating craftsmen of great powers.
