The magnificent turn of life-abandon the real crisis behind the technical School of Peking University

A "Abandon Peking University to read the technical School" News was the media continues to be sizzling. The protagonist of the event is called Hao. 3 years ago, he dropped out of Peking University and transferred to the Beijing Institute of Industrial Mechanics. Recently, when he took the oath on behalf of the contestants at the opening ceremony of the final of the National Numerical Control Skills contest, the media reported a sensation.

In an era of respect for personal choice of career and life, Hao left Peking University to join technical colleges and universities, is his freedom and rights, this is understandable.

But this is Beida. A prominent position in the Chinese education sector of the well-known institutions, in people's traditional impression, where the elite gathered, belong to the academic city, the training of high-end talent is its mission, that is, if a technical school students ambitious, after the tenacious struggle finally into Beijing appears to be logical, on the contrary, it was surprised.

Similar news about Peking University has appeared many times. Prior to this, the university graduates Lu Guoxuan, Chan to join in selling meat business has set off a big discussion about the concept of career choice.

But the current discussion of Hao is worth exploring.

Under the baton of exam-oriented education, most Chinese children have no choice but to study hard, to cope with endless homework and exams, and to lock the ultimate goal to famous universities such as Tsinghua University.

Hao is the winner of this national brutal PK. In 2008, Hao more than 660 high points, he is the top 5 science in Qinghai Province. When he tried to make his first important decision in life according to his interest, he was unanimously opposed by his family and teacher. Hands-on ability, love machinery he wanted to apply for the University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, but the elders think such a high score does not apply for Tsinghua Beida is simply a waste.

Hao compromised. After entering Peking University, he found he had no interest in theory or scholarship. He has in audit, transfer, Escape is not solve the problem, Hao began to play the "Abacus". After struggling to convince his parents, he made a decision that was considered insane--2011 winter, Hao from Haidian District to Chaoyang District, from Peking University to Beijing Industrial Technician College, began a new beginning of life.

The flame of Hao interest was ignited in this ordinary technical school. Soon, once the University of weariness of Youth Hao became a technical school leaders.

In the university campus of China, I do not know how many like Hao such a unique talent of the students, can not be opened in accordance with their wishes to life voyage, just in accordance with the so-called reputation of the university, the status of the pros and cons, according to the social so-called popular professional cognition, bury their hobbies and expertise, to mix a seriously devalued the diploma Really go to the workplace just suddenly found hot has become cold, but they need to reset the goal of life, even because of the lack of actual work experience and practical ability of the employing unit rejected.

It's time to make a profound change to the educational idea, the way of educating and the curriculum design of Chinese universities.

It must be pointed out that the other hot topic of the incident is the contrast between Peking University and the technical School. Hao the news because of his unprecedented reversal. This shows that even if China's economic restructuring and upgrading of the urgent need for high-quality skilled workers, and vigorously develop vocational education has become an important goal of educational restructuring, but the education sector and even the whole society is not really ready for this-regardless of the concept or system.

The employment pressure in colleges and universities is increasingly grim today, there is a magical paradox: a large number of students are increasingly unable to find professional to the right position, and many employers on the application of the lack of talent anxious to get angry.

The 21st Century Education Research Institute published the "2014 Education Blue Book" shows that the initial employment rate of higher vocational colleges in China is 78.1%, higher than "211" and "985"; salary, the average starting salary of higher vocational students 3291 yuan, "211" university 3157 Yuan, Higher vocational students also have slightly higher degrees than those in key universities.

Hao once regrets: "I think China is relatively lack of knowledge and skills of complex talents, like Germany many skilled workers are highly educated, and China's skilled workers are basically not high." "More than Germany, Japanese manufacturing has been able to cross the world for many years, a key factor is the development of its vocational education, coupled with enterprises to promote fine industry must be the" Craftsman spirit ", a large number of outstanding people dare to down-to-earth, every part of the world best as their own glory. Many of our famous schools, in addition to the theory of light practical, but also long-term ambition of the elite thinking, leading to a large number of graduates to become ambitious but unable to solve specific problems of the dreamer.

China's high-speed rail, with its own intellectual property rights, is moving into the world. But in the North Vehicle group of the Tangshan vehicle manufacturing Company after mastering the core technology, but found that China has no skilled workers to complete the welding of more than 50,000 solder joints, then send someone to Germany Siemens to receive training, each staff training fee of up to 6 million yuan.

This case is more illustrative of the meaning and value of the Hao event. Combined with the whole network of Yu Lanxiang Technical School "learning excavator technology which strong" ridicule, a strong, high employment rate of private technical schools difficult course also clearly floating in front of people.

Come on, China's skills education. Come on, China's education reform.
