Chapter 171: Qin Yu's plan to subvert tradition! (Fourth Update!) Ask for a subscription! )

This is not to blame for the reluctance to reform education in China. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Changing and overturning an idea or thing takes time to slowly change.

For example, Qin Yu once saw a report on the Internet!

British and American universities also have entrance exams, such as the United States has the SAT for undergraduate admission, and the United Kingdom has an A-level test. When they admit college students, they also value grades in the last years of high school. However, no university will make such a rule: you will be admitted to the test with a score of less, and you will be eliminated if you score less. There is no such thing as a competition for high scores among universities.

There is a consensus among educators in the United Kingdom and the United States that a student's future success is not determined solely by test scores, but on a person's future achievements are more determined by motivation, passion, perseverance, imagination and other qualities, but these abilities cannot be tested by exams. Therefore, American universities often set the admission range of the unified examination score very broadly, and some universities simply do not make any hard and fast rules, do not draw the admission score line, and the unified examination score is only used as a reference item among many criteria. Candidates have a chance of being admitted as long as they have enough evidence to prove that they are excellent. Moreover, each university has its own independently formulated admission criteria, and the government has no right to interfere.

In order to judge the quality of applicants, American universities adopt a variety of criteria, in addition to test scores, letters of recommendation from secondary school teachers, proof of social practice activities, etc. Some well-known universities in the world also interview each new student to understand the comprehensive quality of the new student.

Each candidate must write a "courtship letter" to the school they are applying to

In the U.S., regardless of the level of college, applicants are required to submit a "Statement of Study" stating the motivation and rationale for the application and how they plan to study. This "statement of study" is an important basis for admission to American universities. In doing so, the university is showing an attitude: you have to understand me before I choose you.

Education in the United States is well developed, which is prominently reflected in personalized education. Each university has its own characteristics and its own strengths. This "study statement" is equivalent to a "courtship letter" from the applicant to the university, from which the university administrator can judge whether the applicant is sincere, how much he knows about them, and whether the applicant's expectations are in line with the university's conditions. Otherwise, no matter how good the applicant is, the university will not admit him. This is a responsible attitude, a happy marriage must be a good match between men and women, and only when the expectations of students are in line with the conditions of the university, there will be a harmonious campus atmosphere and good motivation for learning.

At present, the application of Chinese universities does not require candidates to write this kind of "study statement", and many students fill in the application according to the reputation of the university, and many students just try their luck, and the choice of school has a great blindness. When the university side is admitted, it only looks at the score, as long as the score meets the demarcated standard, it will be admitted regardless of 3721, and nothing else.

In this way, the "feelings" between the university and the students are naturally very estranged, and they don't understand each other. Many new students regret their choice of university after entering the school. If applicants are required to write such a "study statement" in future college admissions, there will be fewer regrets or disappointments.

American universities strive for outstanding students with a "gentleman's contract spirit"

The admission system of European and American universities is different from that of China, a student can apply to multiple universities at the same time, and can also get admission letters from multiple universities at the same time. As a result, it often happens that a good applicant will receive offers and generous scholarships from multiple reputed universities at the same time. In this case, the way for American universities to compete for the best students is to do everything they can to let the applicant know, "You are good, I care about you." ”

One point that deserves the attention of Chinese university administrators is that American universities strive for outstanding students, not to say how good they are or what brilliant achievements they have, and not to belittle other institutions. Don't put up a family tree, don't tear each other down, this is probably a kind of "gentleman's contract spirit" of competition.

Stanford University has a "non-cooperative" approach to university rankings

University rankings in the United Kingdom and the United States are all made by unofficial news media or educational and research institutions, and most of them are commercial in nature.

In the 80s of the last century, Stanford University became famous, and was named the top university in the United States by Newsweek three times, and also won two Nobel Prizes at the same time. In 1996, Stanford dropped out of the top five for two consecutive years. Some people in the school began to talk about it, and students and their families also wrote to the school to question whether there was something wrong with the management at that time.

President Casper, who was the president at the time, believed that the annual university rankings were essentially a numbers game, that the quality of a university was stable over a long period of time, and that many aspects of a university could not be reflected in numbers. Therefore, Stanford neither accepts nor values these rankings, and implements a "non-cooperative" policy for various ranking agencies in the society, and does not appoint special personnel to collect and sort out data for the use of ranking agencies. He emphasized that Stanford's top priority is to nurture students and produce scientific research results, and that all of the university's management revolves around this mission.

As a result, 20 years have passed since then, and in the past three years, five Nobel Prizes and one Fields Medal have been added to Stanford's faculty.

Facts have proved that this kind of foreign university education concept can better stimulate the development space of young people compared with the traditional education concept of Chinese universities.

Although in terms of exams, Chinese people are really not afraid of anyone, but there are still some gaps between them and foreign countries in some aspects.

Qin Yu's large-scale recruitment plan this time is to prepare for his next plan.

"A new plan to cultivate scientific and technological talents!"

New science and technology, new knowledge, completely subverting the traditional concept of science and technology, a new structure for the cultivation of scientific and technological talents slowly sprouted in Qin Yu's heart.

If you want to make Huayu Technology's products become water and electricity in human life, science and technology are on the one hand, and the cultivation of human resources is also a very important technology on the one hand.

Qin Yu alone will definitely not be able to complete it alone, even if there is a team of several people in Dai Xiang, it is far from enough.

If he wants to subvert the traditional status quo of science and technology, Qin Yu needs a group of organized and powerful talent teams.

This team will use the platform of Huayu Technology Company to promote the development of modern technology.

The next technological revolution will be a revolution in which Qin Yu completely overthrows the current status quo of science and technology and establishes a new scientific and technological network and framework.

For this long-term purpose, Qin Yu must start preparing now. (To be continued.) )
