600 undergraduate transformation, vocational education, higher education brewing big changes
near college graduation season, college employment has come to a restless time. This year, 7 million 270 thousand of the national college graduates, an increase of 280 thousand over last year, the employment situation of graduates is even more grim. After the Spring Festival, the bosses of many provinces across the country spent a couple of months struggling to cope with the shortage of skilled workers.
, however, the contrast between the "excess of college students" and the "severe lack of mechanic" and the two days of ice fire may be gradually terminated this year.
the reform direction of the State Ministry of education has been clear: in the 1200 schools of the national ordinary institutions of higher learning, there will be more than 600 vocational education, and the universities in the universities in transition account for 50% of the total number of colleges and universities. At the end of March, Lu Xin, Vice Minister of education at
, said that the core of China's solution to the structural contradiction of employment is education reform. The breakthrough of education reform is the modern vocational education system, which is trained by technical skills. In the future, China will take the construction of modern vocational education system as a breakthrough, the strategic adjustment of the educational structure, and this adjustment is concentrated in the high school and higher education stage.
it is reported that the reform and adjustment of the university is the focus of the more than 600 local undergraduate colleges and universities after the expansion of the college enrollment in 1999, which will lead to vocational education. At present, the Ministry of education has established an alliance with more than 150 local colleges and universities to sign up for the Ministry of education's transformation and reform.
office staff of the Ministry of education and adult education and the office of the Department of higher education of the Ministry of education of the State Ministry of education say that more details of the reform are not readily disclosed.
path
Lu Xin says, in the short term, the prominent contradiction is the contradiction between the difficult employment of college graduates and the shortage of technical and technical talents needed in the market. China graduates a large number of university students every year, and graduated 6 million 990 thousand last year, but the employment rate has only reached 77.4%. There is a relative shortage of skilled talents in the first tier of enterprises, and the shortage ratio is that the market needs two, and we can only provide one.
some undergraduate institutions of higher education will be converted into vocational education, which has been a move since last year and has entered the implementation stage. Xing Guanglu, vice president of the Qingdao Technical College, told the economic observer that the speech of Lu Xin, Vice Minister of the Ministry of education, was quite clear from the policy level. For the whole vocational education, the state should construct a new vocational education system as a typed education.
"transformation of vocational education through undergraduate education has achieved the construction of vocational education system from junior college to large undergraduate, or even graduate student and doctoral student. Secondly, this system exists, and students who have a clearer career tendency give them the channel to grow in the future. Third, China's current economic development requires a large number of students with higher vocational qualities cultivated through vocational education. Research talent can only reflect some of the needs of social development, and relatively speaking, it belongs to minority groups. Xing Guanglu said.
there are concerns in the industry that whether the transformation of Vocational Education in more than 600 undergraduate colleges will result in too much and too fast vocational education will lead to oversupply of vocational education. Xing Guanglu believes that China's transition to vocational education does not exist too fast. It is mainly about curriculum reform. Applied majors should be more practical and practical. On the whole, the central issue of this transformation is curriculum reform. Higher vocational education should strengthen professional quality and vocational skills and cultivate applied high skilled talents. In the past, China has overemphasized the types of vocational education. In fact, the word "occupation" permeates every aspect. At present, the emphasis on vocational education system should be very clear. In the curriculum system, vocational skills training should be given priority.
the current vocational education system, in existing models in the level of education, secondary vocational and vocational, has 32 consecutive reading, that is, secondary secondary vocational secondary school students, if further 2 years, can get a diploma; and higher vocational college graduates, further 2 years can obtain undergraduate diplomas. In addition, we can also choose the mode of 32 talent training, which is to complete the first half of the part, you can get the first half part of the certificate, enter the second half, the academic qualification can also get another certificate. It is not necessary to take part in the national college entrance examination. Through joint enrolment, self-taught examinations and upgraded examinations, schools can also be trained as masters or doctorates.
good days for vocational education have begun in recent years. There were 2940 graduates from Qingdao Technical College this year. As of 11 May 6th, 1257 people were formally employed, accounting for 43% of the total, and 1670 people were reached, accounting for 57% of the total. Many of the graduating students had their whereabouts several months in advance. Hotel management, chemical inspection, mechatronics, applied electronics, marketing are all popular subjects. Qingdao's big oil refineries, Haier, Hisense and Tsingtao have been recruiting schools for many years.
Xing Guanglu believes that in the future, the adjustment of undergraduate education to vocational education will not lead to oversupply. This is the decision of China's industrial demand. The trained people are no longer mere armchair men, but skilled ones. Vocational education no longer stands against traditional undergraduate education. The focus is not on the traditional undergraduate or the typed vocational education, but the essence is to set up the talent training mode according to the goal of talents. The training mode of vocational education pays more attention to the cultivation of professional quality and professional ability. The core of the future is the curriculum reform. In the transformation of
revolutionary
, higher education is regarded as a "revolutionary" adjustment. From the perspective of industrial demand, it is a great effort to vigorously develop vocational education and transform so many undergraduate institutions as a whole. Following closely is the change of personnel training mode, which eventually leads to the change of the whole consciousness of vocational education. This is revolutionary in the whole system, in people's consciousness and in the changing ranks of the future. In order to do this well, the state will also invest heavily in people, money and goods.
British network Touchplus information Corp and Chu Diansong, the chairman of HR partner, said that the transformation of Vocational Education in ordinary colleges and universities is the essence of the return to education. It will end the distorted pattern of the training of talents and the market, and let higher education do its original duty. After all, the research talent is only a small part of the demand, More technical skills are applied talents. This kind of change will also bring "talent bonus". "This is the necessity of the development of history, but there will be a hard way to go in the future, such as the teachers' team, the curriculum reform must have the implementation group, the theory and the practical ability, which is not a simple thing. Human consciousness can not be changed overnight. But if everything goes on, everything is possible. Coupled with the employment pressure is an objective existence, the original undergraduate students, it is because of the problem of teaching methods, resulting in difficult employment. This situation needs to be changed. In general, the transformation of higher education into vocational education has both challenges and opportunities. Xing Guanglu said.
the office of the Qingdao Municipal Education Bureau and the responsible person in charge of the High Education Office of the Qingdao Municipal Education Bureau said that the major direction of the reform of the State University has been determined, and the grass-roots education department is also waiting for the state's formal documents on the details of the transformation. At the moment, the relevant preparation is also being made.
