Chapter 348: Building Momentum and the Problem of Higher Education
As we all know, China's rapid economic development in the past 20 years has not only greatly increased the country's fiscal revenue level, but also provided the necessary conditions for promoting the development of education. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Compared with less than 300 billion yuan a year ago, the level and scale of domestic education spending have begun to increase significantly since 2,000 years ago. Not only has the proportion of GDP increased from more than 2.0 percent to more than 4 percent now, but the scale of investment in education has also increased from just over 200 billion yuan to 3.8 trillion yuan today, an unprecedented figure of huge financial investment, an increase of more than 10 times. In terms of investment, it is second only to the United States and the second largest education country in the world.
However, this does not mean that the level of education in China is very high, on the contrary, limited by the huge population, the per capita public education expenditure in China is only about 50 US dollars, not to mention compared with the United States, the United Kingdom, and other developed countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom, where public education expenditure reaches thousands of US dollars, even among many underdeveloped countries, China's education investment ratio is also in a low position.
Especially in higher education.
Although in terms of numbers, China has surpassed the United States as early as 08 years to become the world's largest country in higher education, and the number of college students in general higher education exceeds 20 million, but this is all in the effect of squeezing the quality of education and teaching conditions.
As long as the students enrolled before the start of large-scale infrastructure construction in 09, they should know that except for the last few years, after the gradual relaxation of education financial funds, everyone's life has been much better, and many people should have experienced what college life was like before this.
Many public school students live in old dormitories that haven't been changed for decades. Not to mention the wind and water leakage, it is also easy to have insects and rat plagues, and there are basically six to eight people, crammed into a small bedroom. But the most important thing is that most of the dormitories are limited by conditions, there is no air conditioning, no matter whether it is cold or hot, they can only rely on the natural wind and the human body itself to regulate their own temperature, and only when they can't stand it, the school will open the library or gymnasium for students to hide. Its style is so hard and simple that if you let those guys who live in the beautiful environment and comfortable conditions of the developed country stay for a while, it will definitely rebel.
It's also thanks to those public intellectuals and big V who still have the face to put chicken soup for the soul, emphasizing the efforts of foreign students, I'm afraid that the parties themselves will come, and when they see such a scene, they can probably only hide their faces in shame and run away, shouting, don't hurt me!
In the past 10 years since the beginning of the new century, more and more domestic students have gone abroad for further study, and countless foreign friends have fully felt the fear of being dominated by this kind of academic hegemony. After experiencing the hardships of hell, the enthusiasm and motivation that erupted from the international students from China when they entered a place with a better environment and teaching conditions were simply despairing.
It is conceivable that even the most basic accommodation conditions for students are not guaranteed, and more investment is needed in related project funds and laboratory equipment.
Many student tutors who have engaged in research and experiments should have had such an experience, and their so-called experimental reference specifications are completely translated word by word through the Internet, and there are no formal teaching materials before specific teaching experiments.
It's not that colleges and universities don't want to improve these things, but there is only so much education funding, and compared with the less important living enjoyment and basic conditions, they can only invest precious and tight education funds in more critical experimental equipment.
However, even so, compared to the number of domestic colleges and universities, there is still a large enrollment population, and it is not difficult to predict how much specific funds can be left for the laboratories of each school.
In terms of the statistics of the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Science and Technology before the large-scale investment in recent years, many well-known universities have not met sufficient requirements in terms of the quality conditions of relevant disciplines and laboratories.
Considering the huge role that higher education can play in the development of national strategic science and technology, although the ZF high-level has also carried out relevant reforms, using the method of education industrialization to supplement the lack of funds, and dividing the list of national key laboratories, concentrating limited resources, and increasing the investment in all aspects of conditions, funds and equipment, compared with the tens of millions of college students in China, there are still faster and faster industrialization requirements, which is still a drop in the bucket.
Therefore, the investment plan he came up with this time has unsurprisingly entered the sight of the relevant ZF senior leaders in charge of this aspect and major domestic universities.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is the best way to solve the problem of tight funding, improve the quality of teaching, and make universal higher education accessible to more people under the current conditions.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please take a look at the information we sent earlier. The main topic of discussion at the forum was the specific role of holographic image technology and VR devices in the application of teaching at the university and postgraduate levels. ”
"That's right, just like those described in the data, compared with the relevant technology applications in China that are still in the initial stage of exploration, major foreign companies, universities and well-known laboratories have been ahead of us. As early as 15 years, the Japanese have used 3D projection technology that can be displayed in 360 degrees, and the image of a virtual singer has been expressed in three dimensions, and won the love of tens of millions of people around the world, fascinated by this almost dreamlike perfect "Hatsune Miku doll" image.
Not only that, some foreign companies have also developed related technologies to the point of naked-eye enhancement.
The last video of a whale leaping out of the sea at a basketball stadium in Boston was arguably the most successful marketing model in history. Not only did the audience at that time be shocked, but they were also thrilled by such a realistic picture effect. Moreover, after the video was released, it became a global hit as soon as it was uploaded, and it was spread everywhere by viewers, which not only directly made Magic Leap the darling and focus of attention of the media, and received $560 million in excess financing from Google, but also indirectly contributed to the popularity of various VR wearable playback devices.
Recently, scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) announced that they have overcome a major technical hurdle in holographic projection, which can make the cost of related camera projection equipment cheaper.
Clearly, a technological revolution is taking shape in holograms, and it will not only change the way we all take it for granted, but will also affect our most important systems of knowledge inheritance. In an environment where you can see the most realistic experimental operation experience from zero distance, the barrier of material conditions can no longer become a privilege that only a few people can grasp, and the important knowledge and experience that play a huge role in the development of civilization and society will gradually become the right that most people should enjoy. ”
