Debate on "Professional Ethics or Professional Skills" (Positive)

Xinhuanet Zhejiang Channel 10 19, as the highlight of the 2004 China Master Principal Forum of the West Expo, how to create a "professional gray collar" that meets the market demand and how to promote the close cooperation between vocational education and enterprises has become the theme of this forum.

Don't underestimate any child.

There are several university professors in Shanghai. Their son didn't even get into an ordinary high school, so he went to a vocational high school and majored in pastry. The professor and his wife trained a baker! In the eyes of most people, this is definitely a shameful thing. The professor and his wife once thought so. However, this son who graduated from vocational high school won the first place in the Shanghai Light Industry Craft Cake Competition. When five-star hotels rushed to want him, even foreign hotels invited him, the professor and his wife who were annoyed that he had only attended vocational high school turned to be proud of their son.

At the forum, Lv Xingwei, a famous educator, used such an example to illustrate how important it is to change ideas in the process of vocational education facing the society. He said: "Everyone can be a talent, but' talent' has different levels and different fields. If everyone is an academician, the survival and development of our society will become a problem. So don't underestimate any child. " Similarly, Wang Wenjian, chairman of China Yu Shun Group Company, sincerely advocates that students and parents should change the concept that vocational education is the "last class education" and that only by going to college can they become talents. Tan Songhua, vice president of China Education Association, said that among the 70 million skilled workers in China, only 3.5% are senior technicians, while more than 40% are from western developed countries. What does our country rely on to improve its international competitiveness? We should start with the details and cultivate and improve the quality and ability of the people in a down-to-earth manner. In Germany, the direction of many schools is to "cultivate first-class labor force", which is worth learning and learning from.

School-enterprise cooperation to avoid "hollowing out" of vocational education

"On the one hand, it is difficult for college graduates to find jobs. On the other hand, there is an unprecedented shortage of skilled workers. The problem exposed by this huge contrast is that China's vocational and technical education is showing a' hollowing out' phenomenon! " Wang Wenjian, chairman of China Yu Shun Group Company, gave a speech that aroused enthusiastic response from many participants. Wang Wenjian said that the direct consequence of the shortage of skilled workers is that the company's labor costs and management costs have greatly increased. Over the years, although Yu Shun Group has actively cooperated with schools to train technicians, it is still difficult to meet the needs of the rapid development of enterprises.

It is the same view of many representatives to innovate the mode and concept of vocational education, take the road of school-enterprise cooperation and turn the school into an enterprise school. Professor Li Jin of shanghai second polytechnic university said that the combination of work and study is a major trend of education development in the world today. It is a good choice for the school to create market-oriented high-tech talents and combine work with study. Yu Zuguang, deputy director of the Institute of Vocational and Technical Education Center of the Ministry of Education, said that enterprises are customers of vocational colleges, major stakeholders and providers of off-campus educational resources. The characteristics of vocational education should be driven by the needs of enterprises, which provides an opportunity for the extensive cooperation between vocational education institutions and enterprises. Enterprises can cooperate to run schools independently, train professionals by order through school-enterprise cooperation, and build a training base between enterprises and vocational schools to realize the "zero distance" transition of students from school to enterprise.

Lu, chairman of the board of directors of Wanxiang Group, who attended the forum, also said that enterprises need professionals with practical experience and talents who can be used when they come out.

Professional ethics is more important than professional skills.

When asked about the gap between the current technical talents and the expectations of Wanxiang Group, Lu replied without hesitation: The gap lies in the sense of responsibility. In his view, students in China are worse than those in developed countries in terms of brain and wisdom, but there is still a gap in social responsibility and professional ethics, and they really need to learn.

While educating students to learn technical skills well, it has become the common aspiration of business and education people attending the meeting to call for cultivating students' sense of social responsibility and professional ethics.

"Professional ethics is not only not stealing or robbing, but also including' contract consciousness'." Jimmy Wan, the general manager of Jilin Chuanwangfu Group, who came from afar, said with deep experience that it is difficult for students to enter the enterprise stably, and they often quit after less than one year. In his eyes, the ideal "gray collar" must first abide by the contract. Once a contractual relationship is formed with an enterprise, it cannot be easily broken. Secondly, you must have professional skills and be healthy.

"Students should be honest. In the final analysis, we must have both ability and political integrity. " Lv Xingwei said earnestly. The skills learned are different, but people's quality is the most basic similarity in all walks of life. At the same time, vocational education is in line with the market, and the cultivation of humanistic spirit must not be biased.
