Cultivation of university talents in the era of “Chinese Dream”

——Interview with Wang Ling, Secretary of the Party Committee of w88 casino

"University": Hello, Secretary Wang! Talent cultivation is the most fundamental function of universities and the most important content of the connotative development of universities. In your opinion, in today's pursuit of improving the quality of higher education, from what perspective and height should we have a profound understanding of talent cultivation in universities?

Secretary Wang Ling (hereinafter referred to as Secretary Wang):I believe that we must look beyond education to look at education, and we cannot just talk about education, otherwise we will inevitably become narrow-minded. China has now entered a very important period of development. The Chinese Dream proposed by General Secretary Xi Jinping not long ago is particularly important for how to view university talent w88 mobile.

The Chinese dream is the dream of a strong country, the prosperity of the country, the rejuvenation of the nation, and the happiness of the people. The emergence of the Chinese Dream is not accidental, but the process and result of historical evolution. The realization of the Chinese Dream can be roughly divided into two centuries. The first one is1840—19499584_96171949—20509676_9756

170Over the years, China has been closer to the goal of the Chinese Dream than at any time in history. The realization of the Chinese Dream is close at hand, but the closer it is to the goal, the greater the difficulties and challenges. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out in his speech: "A person who travels a hundred miles is half a mile十”, if the last ten percent cannot be achieved, even if ninety percent is completed, the success will eventually fall short, and the efforts of generations of the Chinese nation will be in vain.

The Chinese Dream is oriented to the future. The baton of history will be handed over to today's young people. Their quality and quality are very important to the realization of the Chinese Dream. Therefore, we must think about the quality of higher education and the talent w88 mobile of universities from the perspective of historical development and the realization of the Chinese Dream.

"University": As we get closer to the "Chinese Dream", does it mean that the connotation of talent w88 mobile in universities will undergo some changes?

Secretary Wang:There will inevitably be changes, either the scope will be expanded, or the focus will be highlighted, etc. In order to realize the Chinese Dream, university education is very important to enable the next generation to become a generation that is independent, responsible and able to work hard. The ancients said: "Talent is the endowment of virtue; virtue is the endowment of talent." Morality governs people's knowledge, talents and performance. The more talented people are, the more they need to have higher moral standards. Only those who are talented and moral can become the elite of this society. Morality can be divided into three levels: one is code of conduct, the other is spiritual realm, and the third is ideals and beliefs. The three are integral to each other and are indispensable,Irreplaceable. Responsibility is the first quality possessed by talents and the outline of various qualities of talents. The cultivation of students' responsibility, integrity and will is the most basic aspect of talent cultivation.

Moreover, this generation must be trained within the larger framework of globalization, and they must understand their responsibilities and missions from the perspective of China's rise rather than from the perspective of finding a job in a microscopic way. Today's young people have no problem in accumulating knowledge, but there are no examination standards or testing standards for their accumulation of sense of responsibility and morality. Universities should not only impart subject knowledge to young people, but also integrate the cultivation of a sense of responsibility and morality into the entire talent w88 mobile system.

"University": The teaching or accumulation of knowledge still has discipline norms to follow, but emotions such as responsibility and moral sense seem to be difficult to cultivate and manifest in a solid way. How to solve this problem?

Secretary Wang:The cultivation of talents by universities is by no means limited to classrooms in visible space and subject areas that can follow logic. On the contrary, in the era of network information, the space and time for talent growth far exceed the "solidified" forms such as classrooms and textbooks that we are familiar with. The second and third classrooms have gradually shown their important role and value in talent cultivation.

Over the years, the w88 casino has attached great importance to using the second and third classrooms to cultivate students' sense of responsibility, mission and global vision, integrating knowledge learning and moral establishment, because talent cultivation is not just a matter of imparting knowledge, it also includes the development of students' moral quality. To this end, the w88 casino has designed the "Action Framework for Quality Development of College Students" at the undergraduate level. Focusing on the w88 casino's talent training goals, it has set up ten platforms including thought leadership, general education, international training, campus culture, community activities, practical education, academic research, volunteer service, employment and entrepreneurship, and elite growth. Correspondingly, certain credit requirements are also put forward for students. They can choose activities suitable for them on these platforms according to their needs, and get exercise and growth from them. In terms of postgraduate training, the w88 casino adopts a tutor responsibility system, which requires tutors to strengthen the cultivation and strengthening of their professional ethics in the process of guiding graduate students. In addition, the w88 casino has set up social research topics around hot issues in China's social development, such as landless farmers, left-behind children, etc. that have appeared in the current urbanization process. Graduate students are encouraged to form teams to apply. At the same time, the w88 casino provides a large amount of funds as support every year, and conducts inspections through expert reviews, reports and defenses, etc. Many students have begun to carry out their master's and doctoral thesis research around these issues that focus on social reality, and the results have been very good.

"University": In your opinion, how should university education view the relationship between "morality" and "talent" in talent cultivation?

Secretary Wang:In the cultivation of university talents, "morality" and "talent" are actually the two wheels of a car. One is indispensable. The two wheels must run at the same time for the car to run. If I have to distinguish between equals, I still think it is important to cultivate "people", especially the "virtue" of this person. Because "morality" can make up for "talent", but "talent" cannot make up for "morality".

Historically, our higher education pays special attention to the cultivation of “talents” during a certain period, that is, it emphasizes the cultivation of subject knowledge. Today, when my country's higher education develops connotatively and emphasizes improving the quality of talent w88 mobile, university education must return to and be positioned at cultivating "people" and cultivating complete people with both ability and political integrity and all-round development. In the near future, today's young people are likely to play an important role on a larger world stage or become influential figures. In this sense, it is necessary to emphasize the cultivation of "people" rather than just the cultivation of "talents." I believe that the realization of the Chinese Dream first requires talented and virtuous people who have dreams and the courage to take on responsibilities, rather than talented and ungrateful people.

"University": In order to cultivate talents who can realize the "Chinese Dream", what adjustments should be made to the university's talent w88 mobile?

Secretary Wang:As teachers and administrators, we will soon withdraw from the stage of history, but the college students now in w88 casino will be the generation that will truly sprint to realize the Chinese dream in the future, and it is also the time to2020The backbone of realizing a moderately prosperous society in 2016. Therefore, students must be taught in accordance with their aptitude according to their sense of responsibility and mission, intelligence level, hobbies, and adaptability to cultivate various talents who can realize the "Chinese Dream".

Take the w88 casino as an example. It is a multi-disciplinary financial and foreign language university characterized by its advantageous majors such as international economics and w88, law (international economic law), finance, business administration, foreign languages ​​(business foreign language), etc. Its talent training is positioned to cultivate high-level industry talents in the fields of economics, w88 and commerce. From a global perspective, economic globalization has led to earth-shaking changes in w88 patterns. First, w88 boundaries have broadened, and second, w88 has gone beyond the original import and export to include a series of issues such as intellectual property, investment, logistics, insurance, and law. Therefore, this puts forward higher requirements for workers engaged in w88, and our education requires our students to cultivate all-round knowledge and abilities. Judging from the domestic situation, our country has surpassed Japan and become the world's second largest economy after the United States. The country has proposed that "innovation is the soul of the nation" and must take the path of becoming a powerful country through innovation.

In this general environment, the w88 casino has reformed its talent training model and divided talents into three major categories for training: the first category is top-notch talents, accounting for approximately2-3%Many of them master two or three foreign languages, and their training goal is to be leaders in disciplines and industries. The second category is elite talents, that is, people who have ideas, opinions, and creativity in the fields of economics, w88, and finance, and can become team leaders. The third category is professional general talents. This type of talents is mainly employment-oriented. For example, after graduation, they directly go to work in an accounting firm and become a good player in the accounting industry. In this way, we coordinate the diverse and differentiated needs of society and individuals in the talent training process.

"University": No matter what type of talent, comprehensive ability is a necessary ability. How to concretize abstract comprehensive abilities in w88 mobile?

Secretary Wang:When talking about anything, especially from the perspective of education, it cannot be abstract. We need to combine the w88 casino’s talent training goals and training characteristics to specify the ability goals that students should have. I believe that the comprehensive ability of college students should also be specific, including at least the following aspects: first, the ability to communicate and express, second, the ability to solve problems, third, the ability to adapt and innovate, fourth, the ability to work in a team, fifth, the ability to plan and organize, and sixth, the ability to self-management.

Ability is not abstract. For example, teamwork ability requires first of all to be able to define the relationship between team members and find one's own position in the team; secondly, to be able to cooperate with others by complementing each other's strengths; and thirdly, to communicate and collaborate with people of different views, beliefs, and cultural backgrounds. Another example is communication and expression skills, which can be refined into being good at listening and understanding, being able to explain clearly through written, oral and other forms, and being able to quickly judge the other party's intentions and grasp the key points. Once these abilities are refined and clear ability goals are formed, it will be easier to formulate corresponding talent w88 mobile ideas.

Around these specific goals, schools can design diverse and flexible learning links in many ways. For example, through the form of a football team, students’ teamwork skills are trained to help them learn how to identify their personal position in the organization and how to communicate and cooperate with other members. By playing bridge, students are encouraged to understand how to make decisions. Many of our students have rarely made decisions on their own since they were young, and their parents make decisions for them. Therefore, in college, this important lesson must be made up.

A w88 casino director said, I would rather have80Not even for thoughtful students100Students who can only take exams. Because those who are good at taking exams cannot comprehensively deal with practical problems after they leave w88 casino. In other words, how to handle, judge and respond when faced with problems cannot be cultivated and screened through examination methods. Therefore, there is a special need for university education to lay a better foundation for students' comprehensive abilities.

"University": In the cultivation of comprehensive abilities, what role do you think general courses can play?

Secretary Wang:General courses are crucial to human growth. In practice, they should be consistent with the w88 casino’s talent training goals and serve the all-round development of people. Universities should break down and refine their talent training goals and formulate specific training standards. General education is then designed and delivered according to these standards.

At the w88 casino, we require students to take art courses. On the one hand, it is to convey cultural knowledge and cultivate students' sentiments; on the other hand, it is to expand students' thinking and horizons. For example, we offer a series of general education courses such as Western music history, Chinese folk music appreciation, sculpture appreciation and practice, and calligraphy appreciation and practice. The teachers who undertake these courses are all well-known professors or artists hired from outside the w88 casino. These professionals can explain their experience and understanding in artistic practice deeply and thoroughly, and can analyze and explain from the level of civilization and culture instead of staying at the level of technique. In this way, students learn not only knowledge, but also an understanding of different civilizations and cultures, which can well serve the cultivation of talents' comprehensive abilities.

A dean of the Academy of Fine Arts once asked during a visit to the w88 casino why it allowed students to learn painting. In fact, we believe that learning painting can give students a sense of layout and color, and enrich students' imagination, which is crucial for future practitioners in the foreign w88 and financial industries. For example, if they want to design financial derivatives, in fact they need to have an artistic sense and a sense of beauty. The so-called harmony is an aesthetic balance. By learning these, students can also experience the art of being a person and doing things. Schools must not offer general courses for the sake of offering general courses. General education courses must serve the all-round development of people, enabling students to become better and more comprehensive high-level talents who can stand on the international stage.

"University": Compared with comprehensive universities, what are the advantages of industry-specific universities in terms of talent w88 mobile?

Secretary Wang:The advantage of industry-specific universities lies mainly in market demand. As long as there is market demand, human demand, and industry demand, then it must be sustainable. In addition, industry-specific universities have generally maintained close exchanges with industries and enterprises for decades, and have always maintained contact through cross-cooperation through multiple channels. Therefore, industry-specific universities can track and adjust at any time the changes in market demand for talents. For example, the w88 casino opens a certain proportion of new courses and eliminates some unsuitable old courses every year based on market changes and feedback from employers to ensure that the w88 casino's talent training work can meet market demand.

"University": So, how can industry-specific universities leverage industry and corporate resources to improve the quality of talent w88 mobile?

Secretary Wang:Talent w88 mobile and serving the society are the basic functions of universities. Industry-specific universities are "born and developed by industries" and have a natural connection with the industry. Therefore, they should actively strengthen their connections with central and local industry departments and enterprises, pay close attention to the development trends of the industry, timely adjust the professional and talent w88 mobile structure, and provide effective talent support for the development of the industry.

The w88 casino carries out relevant work from three aspects. First, expand cooperation areas and build a joint platform.2010At the end of the year, the w88 casino has realized the cooperation between the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Commerce, taking serving the cause of foreign w88 as its own responsibility, actively developing intellectual resources for the Ministry of Commerce, and cultivating various talents to meet the needs of the Ministry of Commerce in a targeted manner through various methods such as curriculum, internships, volunteer services, and cadre training.

Secondly, carry out w88 casino-enterprise cooperation and innovate training mechanisms. For example, the w88 casino co-founded the "People's Livelihood Class" with Minsheng Bank, and cooperated with Citibank to organize "Financial Practice Training Class". Targeted training is provided to students through tailor-made course content, and on-campus teaching and off-campus internships are combined to form financial practical training.

Third, deepen vocational training and strengthen professional skills. For example, the w88 casino has conducted extensive exploration in the aspect of "combining academic education with vocational qualification certification", introducing the content of vocational qualification education into corresponding academic education courses in different levels and modules, and improving the professional direction and curriculum system,Integrate academic education and qualification education organically, and integrate vocational education into professional w88 mobile plans.

In addition, the w88 casino also hires experts from industries and enterprises to serve as practical tutors for students, leading students to enter the mainstream and onto the big stage. For example, the English Simultaneous Interpretation major has established direct ties with the State Council, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Commerce, translation companies, and translation associations, and hired department directors, senior translators, senior editors, senior partners of law firms, and well-known scholars as student practice instructors. This will not only make talent training more grounded, but also help students get better employment.

"University": What do you think of the industry (speciality) and comprehensiveness of industry-specific universities in talent w88 mobile?

Secretary Wang:In this era, even industry-specific universities emphasize comprehensiveness over specialization in talent cultivation.20century50In the 1990s, the w88 mobile of talents in industrial colleges was particularly specialized, and the industry was very prominent, but entering90After the 1990s, its industry characteristics were diluted with the reform of higher education as a whole. Now, we have re-emphasized the industry characteristics of talent w88 mobile, but this is based on its comprehensiveness. In this process, it is an upward spiral path, that is to say, even if it returns to professionalism, it is no longer the original meaning. This era has put forward higher requirements for it, and its connotation has risen.

"University": However, industry or professionalism and comprehensiveness are often regarded as opposing concepts. Will there be conflicts between the two in the practice of talent w88 mobile?

Secretary Wang:In fact, there is no contradiction between professionalism and comprehensiveness. The reason is that it is the demand of an era, which exists objectively and is not based on personal will. If a university wants to develop forward, it must meet the objective needs of the times. A few years ago, someone argued with me that my view at that time was that the comprehensive development path of industry-specific universities was the trend, and I still think so now.

In the context of economic globalization, industry division of labor has become increasingly detailed and specialized. This requires that industry-specific universities must be professional in talent training, especially in technical talent training. For example, students must be able to use computers, speak English, etc. But the emphasis on specialization is only at the technical level. Once it reaches the strategic level of talent cultivation, what universities must emphasize is comprehensiveness. This comprehensiveness has transformed the w88 casino into intersecting disciplines to form subject groups around the needs of industry and industry. By integrating various resources, it serves the cultivation of high-level talents in the industry. In fact, the industry we are talking about today is no longer a very narrow major. Instead, it starts from a major and diverges outwards, interconnecting and intersecting with multiple disciplines to form a comprehensive network. This is an inevitable trend brought about by the development of the current era of economic globalization. It is also the demand for people of the era that drives our university education to move forward. We must pay attention to comprehensiveness and emphasize the all-round development of people in the training of professional talents.

This is a requirement for the development of the university itself, because if the university wants to make the talents it cultivates truly useful to society, it must constantly interact with society, understand social needs, and constantly adjust and innovate talent w88 mobile methods according to the new situation. This is also the process in which the university as an organization continues to learn, improve, and innovate.

"University": In order to cultivate talents who shoulder the important task of the "Chinese Dream", what are the difficulties in the current university reform?

Secretary Wang:System and mechanism are the difficulties. Many reforms now are restricted by institutional mechanisms. On the one hand, it requires institutional innovation, and on the other hand, it "tied up" all people. Under such circumstances, it is difficult for universities to do so. Therefore, we must leave room for university reforms, including curriculum and teaching reforms.

The most important prerequisite for the reform of the system and mechanism is the updating of concepts. Both teaching and courses should be more contemporary and keep up with the development of the times. When I visited and inspected abroad, I saw that advanced teaching technology can already explain many complex scientific issues in a visual, dynamic, three-dimensional and interactive way. It is conceivable that in such teaching, students' knowledge cognition and thinking establishment are also three-dimensional and multi-dimensional. In contrast, our teaching is often still at the level of two-dimensional thinking. I think it’s not that Chinese universities don’t have the conditions to do this, but that old ideas limit people.

"University": What do you think of judging a high w88 casinoWhat are the standards for a horizontal industry-specific university?

Secretary Wang:It should play a guiding role in the development of the industry. A high-level industry-specific university should be a think tank and a cradle for the growth of industry talents. Whether in terms of the concept of talent w88 mobile or the strategy of subject development, we can lead the development of the industry and even society. Whether this university can be called a world-class or high-level university is determined by its social influence and competitiveness, which is not only reflected in its role in promoting the development of the industry, but also in its contribution to the realization of the Chinese Dream.

"University": Thank you for accepting our interview!
