How to build education on the basis of cultural self-confidence and closely combine majors?

Universities pay more and more attention to education. The Thirteenth Five-Year Plan for National Education Development also puts forward the idea of "exploring the way of combining general education with professional education and promoting modular general education". How to take the road of general education in China?

Qiu Yong: Mei Yiqi, an old president in the history of Tsinghua, wrote an article "A Solution for Universities" at 194 1 after ten years as president of Tsinghua, which clearly put forward the idea of general education and professional integration, but general education is the foundation and professional education is the purpose. 1944, Mr. Liang Sicheng gave a speech in Tsinghua, and the title of the report was "Half a Man's Time". He proposed that the separation of arts and sciences would lead to one-sided development of people. Only those who have technology without humanistic thinking are hollow people, and those who have humanistic literacy without factual technology are marginal people. 1952, Tsinghua became an engineering school, focusing on professional education. In this case, President Jiang Nanxiang proposed "both professional and popular". These all-round educational ideas have had a far-reaching impact on the growth of many students in Tsinghua. In my opinion, general education is a kind of idea, but it is also a kind of practice at present, which is the focus and focus of Tsinghua's education and teaching reform. It should be considered together with all educational and teaching reforms.

Luo Jun: First-class universities should cultivate first-class talents. We need to think about a question: Why is our university still a long way from the world-class universities? While we were thinking, some experts came to a conclusion that university education in China may be especially suitable for a student with 70 or 80 marks, but we have no special measures for stupid students with 90 marks or above, but I feel that general education can play this role. Genius in the true sense is not cultivated in universities. It is a blessing to have a genius in the university, and his growth lies in the environment that the university gives him. Therefore, we should attach importance to general education and make those students with poor talents learn better through reform.
