Shen Hu

What are the opportunities and difficulties for the development of continuing education in Wuhan University's "double first-class" universities? How to innovate the running mode of continuing education in "double first-class" universities? How to construct the characteristics of continuing education in "double first-class" universities? The people-oriented educational concept constructed under the framework of lifelong education is the direction of continuing education reform and development in the 2 1 century. Continuing education in colleges and universities is an important part of continuing education and plays an important role in building a lifelong education system.

Based on the present situation and development trend of continuing education in Chinese universities, this paper focuses on the basic ideas and strategies for the development of continuing education in Chinese universities, especially in comprehensive universities.

At present, the trend of economic globalization is constantly strengthening, information technology is developing rapidly, and the cycle of knowledge updating is shortening day by day.

In the modern and future social development, academic education in colleges and universities is no longer the end of learning, but a new starting point for continuing learning and lifelong learning, and continuing education in colleges and universities is also facing greater development space and opportunities.

Continuing education is the foundation of the success of knowledge economy and an important way to strengthen the cultivation and development of talents.

Continuing education accompanies a person's whole career.

The development of higher education in China from elite to mass is both a challenge and an opportunity for continuing education.

The continuing education potential of "double-first-class" colleges and universities is huge, which plays a guiding role in the development of continuing education in colleges and universities. "Double first-class": "First-class university, world-class discipline", referred to as "double first-class".

Therefore, it has become an important topic for continuing education managers and experts and scholars to study and discuss the development strategy and running ideas of continuing education in "double-first-class" universities, but this paper is biased only in this respect.

I. Development Opportunities and Dilemma of Continuing Education in "Double First-class" Colleges and Universities (I. Development Opportunities The popularization of higher education provides new development space for continuing education in colleges and universities, and also injects new vitality into the needs of continuing education in local colleges and universities.

1. The concept of building a "learning" society and lifelong education provides a theoretical basis for the development of continuing education in colleges and universities. Knowledge and information are the main capital to create wealth in 2 1 century. Human resources become the decisive factor of social development, and society provides different stages of needs, learning opportunities and conditions for individuals' survival and development.

Building a lifelong education system and a "learning society" is the goal of educational reform and development, the need of economic development and socialist modernization, and the means to promote social members to adapt to the requirements of the times and realize self-improvement.

Vigorously developing continuing education is an important way to realize lifelong education. With the development of economy, society, science and technology and the increase of social demand, continuing education will become the main body of lifelong education.

2. The level of institutionalization and legalization of continuing education has been gradually improved, and the continuing education in colleges and universities has a new development space. (Outline of Education Reform and Development in China) Continuing education is a new educational system that develops from traditional school education to lifelong education.

The Education Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates that education reform should be promoted, the coordinated development of all kinds of education at all levels should be promoted, and a lifelong education system should be established and improved. "The state practices a system of vocational education and a system of continuing education"; "Citizens enjoy appropriate forms of political, economic, cultural, scientific and technological and educational rights.

The report of the 16th and 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China also regards the development of continuing education, continuing education, "building a lifelong education system", "forming a learning society with lifelong learning for all and promoting the all-round development of people" as one of the goals of building a well-off society in an all-round way.

3. There is a strong market for low-end talents in colleges and universities to receive continuing education, which has become the driving force of the market demand for continuing education in colleges and universities. With technological innovation, the pace of internationalization is getting faster and faster. New industries and jobs are emerging one after another, and the job changes and flows of technical talents are becoming more and more frequent. It is impossible for a person to master all the knowledge needed for regular school work, and the workplace competition and work pressure of employees increase rapidly. We must constantly learn to adapt to social changes.

The popularity and recognition of university talents to the brand of comprehensive research universities and the growing demand for continuing education have become an important source for the development and enrichment of continuing education research in comprehensive research universities.

4. The regional economic and social development and the increasing demand for cadre education and training have given new connotations to the continuing education in colleges and universities. "Double-first-class" colleges and universities increasingly incorporate the service of regional economic and social development into an important measure of "standing on the ground", and their continuing education has played a role in serving the society and inheriting culture.

Based on local society, it is the wisdom highland of regional economic and social development, the base for exporting all kinds of talents for local economic construction, and the carrier for excavating regional characteristics and spreading local history and culture.

"Double-first-class" colleges and universities attach great importance to setting up corresponding disciplines, majors and courses according to the characteristics of local economy, society, industrial structure and cultural resources, and gradually become the center of local scientific and technological innovation, personnel training, information exchange and cultural radiation through provincial (city) running schools, school-enterprise cooperation and scientific and technological incubation.

Therefore, the local economy and society have great demand for the continuing education of "double first-class" universities, which have obvious advantages and outstanding reputation in the continuing education and training of local talents.

(2) Dilemma of institutional reform 1, school-running system and management system Constraints Under the school-running system, academic education is still the main body of continuing education in many "double-first-class" universities, which is also the advantage of continuing education in "double-first-class" universities.

However, due to the influence of full-time schooling, the academic education in continuing education still follows the management mode of planned economy in education management and school-running mechanism, and the training mode is outdated, and students' adaptability and adjustment ability to meet social needs are weak, and their social competitiveness is not strong.

Under the management system, the participation of many departments has brought vitality to the development of continuing education, because academic education involves various professional colleges in the school. At the same time, driven by interests, it has artificially triggered vicious competition in running schools, which has led to the politicized development of continuing education in comprehensive research universities, rising management costs, and then leading to continuing education running schools.

2. Shortage of specialized talents Due to historical reasons, the scale of continuing education in "double-first-class" universities is large, and the base of professional and technical personnel and management personnel sent by other professional colleges is large. In addition, in recent years, ordinary colleges and universities have strengthened the construction of professional teams, emphasized the promotion of teaching through scientific research, and introduced a large number of professional and technical personnel with high academic qualifications and higher vocational education, resulting in a huge number of continuing education institutions.

Some of these continuing education professionals and managers who have become monks halfway are engaged in changes in their occupations and posts, while others change quickly and quickly adapt to the requirements of new occupations and posts, but some of them are difficult to adapt to the requirements of continuing education after they are familiar with them.

At present, the construction of continuing education professional team in "double-first-class" universities has become an important subject of marketization and industrialization of continuing education.

3. The national education authorities pay attention to the "hidden dangers" of continuing education in "double-first-class" universities and form "invisible pressure". At present, the problems existing in the development of continuing education, such as inaccurate positioning, unclear thinking, lack of knowledge and insufficient clues, have attracted great attention and attention from the leaders of the national education authorities.

According to the needs of students, society, government and enterprises, especially the needs of society, the curriculum resources of continuing education are designed. These students should coordinate the development of full-time education and continuing education and straighten out the management system of political schools. Establish a resource endowment mechanism, integrate resources at different levels, improve the innovative quality management methods and mechanisms of continuing education, improve the respective supervision systems of the government and schools, improve the evaluation mechanism of colleges and universities, and increase the evaluation indicators of continuing education serving the society.

This series of important problems and topics are concerned by the education authorities, and they are also important topics to be solved urgently in the continuing education of "double-first-class" universities. Therefore, under the attention and concern of the leaders of the national education authorities, solving these problems will become the pressure and motivation for the development of continuing education in "double-first-class" universities.
