1761 The Importance of Education

It is rare for someone to be interested in Chinese culture, and Cui Zhengyuan is also very happy. His eyes wandered and asked, "Which one do you want to hear?" ”

Or the student, "Tell me why China is developing so much, okay?" ”

Cui Zhengyuan shrugged his eyebrows and deliberately pretended to sigh. "Ouch, what do you mean? Even if you talk about the last year, you can't tell you everything. Talk to your principal, pay me a salary, and let me be a teacher. ”

Everyone was amused, thinking that there was a teacher like Cui Zhengyuan, it seemed that it was not bad.

As a result, many students really shouted "yes", and it is worth noting that most of them are still girls.

"My salary is very expensive." Cui Zhengyuan demonstratively picked the corner of his eye at Professor Shen Taifeng.

Professor Shen Taifeng was very embarrassed, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and made a gesture of refusal. Looking at his expression, it is obvious that he is too expensive to afford.

This interaction between the old and the young showed what they had never seen before, and enlivened the hearts of the audience.

The atmosphere eased for a while, and Cui Zhengyuan solemnly answered the students' questions.

"In fact, with the rise of China, there are already a lot of people who are studying the factors of their success. There are various theories in this, and I believe everyone will more or less accept some of them. So here today, I'm going to talk about some parts that I understand myself that you haven't touched on yet. As for whether it is right or wrong, it is up to everyone to discern. ”

Listening to his exclusive insights, everyone became serious. There are even quite a few people who have their notes ready. He looked even more serious than he did in class.

Every successful person will definitely have something unique about it. And it's these uniqueness that make them unique.

Other things like diligence, talent, background, talent, etc., are actually relatively popular and common arguments.

Everyone is tired of hearing these things, and it is difficult to resonate with them.

On the contrary, it is something unique that belongs to Choi Jung-won. Perhaps it will be able to give these students who are eager to succeed in the future some different perspectives.

Cui Zhengyuan said seriously: "What I want to say is the role of education in the growth of a country and a nation. ”

As soon as these words came out, the originally quiet atmosphere in the audience instantly turned on, and the uproar was in the ears.

No one thought that Cui Zhengyuan would talk about the topic of education, and it was also China's education.

In the minds of many people, they don't really agree with Chinese education. Especially among the college students here, there are many more who hold this view.

In particular, China's examination-oriented education system has been criticized endlessly.

Even in the rankings of the world's most prestigious universities, it is difficult for China to compete with the world's top universities.

They just couldn't figure it out. Why does Cui Zhengyuan advocate Chinese education?

In the face of overwhelming doubts, Cui Zhengyuan did not rush to explain his views, but asked rhetorically: "You say that China's education is not good, while Western education is even better." So why is the economy in the West so bad now, while China is getting better and better? As we all know, the level of education will determine the quality of the people. The level of the national quality is also an important competitiveness of a country. If we look at the state in relation to education, who can arbitrarily comment that China's education is not good? ”

Here he was. You can openly debate with others about the merits of Chinese education. In his previous life, Cui Zhengyuan did not understand the relationship between the dialectical relationship and the change of public opinion in the outside world until many years later.

In fact, China is just beginning to integrate into the world. When receiving the impact of foreign ideas, the arguments criticizing exam-oriented education have always been loud.

Experts, the media, public opinion, and those who have gone out and come back have all come up with all kinds of arguments to show that China's education is inferior to that of Western countries.

At that time. This argument is so mainstream that there have always been calls for reforming examination-oriented education and making a leap forward in education.

However, after a great deal of development, the exchanges between China and the world have become more and more frequent. This argument is far less intense than it used to be.

In the process of more Sino-foreign exchanges, many people suddenly found that although the education system is different, in many cases, in the process of comparison between students at the same stage, Chinese students are not inferior, on the contrary, they also lose the face of those students who have received Western education.

Because there are living examples in front of us, more people realize that China's exam-oriented education is not necessarily so bad.

In Cui Zhengyuan's view, China's education system is more appropriate to call cramming education rather than test-oriented education.

Because exam-oriented education is a term that came later, not the birth of the education system with this definition.

On the contrary, it is precisely after many years of implementation of the education system that many people feel the disadvantages of it and give such a seemingly narrow definition.

As in China, the Western model of education is more appropriate than a liberal education.

Some cents and leading the way party have come up with a name that beautifies Western education called suzhì education, which makes people feel that Western things are superior to others when they hear it, and it is far from being comparable to China's examination-oriented education.

It seems that under that kind of education system, the people who are born are all highly educated, highly educated, highly educated, and highly talented.

As everyone knows, the West is not so good. There are actually more failures in that education model than in China.

Western education pays more attention to the cultivation of geniuses.

In other words, when a person shows outstanding talent in a certain aspect, then he will be like a fish in water under this education system, and eventually grow into a great person.

This is also the reason why the West has always given birth to so many great scientific educators, writers, musicians and elites in the IT industry, leading achievements in industrial technology and high-end technology in science and technology.

However, this kind of education is tantamount to giving up the cultivation of ordinary people. Many people have achieved it, and even done nothing.

China's education, which may not be strong enough in cultivating geniuses, can produce a large number of blue-collar talents who may not be obscure but are indispensable in social production.

These people may not be so dazzling when taken out individually, but when put together, the huge energy generated will be very amazing.

At the national level, it is clear that a very small number of geniuses are certainly not as effective as a large number of practical ordinary talents.

Individual outstanding geniuses cannot play a role in improving the overall strength of a country.

For example, in the history of Poland, Copernicus, Marie Curie, and Chopin were each star-studded geniuses. However, due to the lack of overall education standards, Poland, along with South Korea, has become one of the most miserable countries in history.

Compared with Poland, Germany next door pays more attention to the cultivation of basic talents, and as a result, it has an innumerable number of industrial personnel who can create productivity.

With the addition of a few geniuses, Germany has always been one of the most powerful countries on the European continent and has always been at the forefront of the world.

From the perspective of national leaders, it is clear that this kind of education system, which focuses more on the cultivation of basic talents, has greater benefits.

Cui Zhengyuan said so much freely, which also made the audience below feel empowered, and the sound of brushing and brushing records was endless.

But what they don't know is that, despite Choi's introduction, it is not the root cause of the education problem he mentioned.

After the explanation here was over, he changed his mind and began to get to the point.

"What I just said is a way of education that we can see and touch. For a country and a nation, the factor of education hidden in the bones is actually the key to its survival, growth, development, and even its re-emergence after encountering setbacks. ”

At this point, even many knowledgeable professors began to be cautious.

Before getting into the main topic, Cui Zhengyuan gave another stark example. "Everyone has learned history, and I believe that even if you don't like it, you still know a little bit about the history of your country. Here, if we look at the difference between China and South Korea in terms of history teaching in high schools, we may be able to feel the special features of Chinese education. ”

Many people followed his words and began to think back to the content of the high school history they had studied. But obviously, even though everyone wants to break their heads, they can't grasp the essentials.

Cui Zhengyuan took the initiative to speak. "From the very beginning, in our history books, a great deal of space has been devoted to the long history of our nation. From the beginning, Danjun Joseon, Mizi Joseon, Weishi Joseon, Samhan tribe, Silla, Baekje, Goryeo, and Joseon have been in the present. In the long history, our nation has had many great people and done many things that we admire. Are you very proud when you see these stories? ”

Many in the audience couldn't help but nod their heads in agreement.

Everyone will have a strong and inseparable sense of identity with their own nation, and naturally have a sense of honor for the proud deeds of their own nation, both past and present.

Cui Zhengyuan continued: "I paid attention to the history questions of this year's college entrance examination, and many of them are about the glorious deeds of our ancestors. ”

Many of you have just said goodbye to the college entrance examination, and many of you can even recall the content of your exams. Hearing Cui Zhengyuan mention it, many people showed a look of reminiscence.

Indeed, as he said, in order to reflect the national pride of the Republic of Korea, the Korean government has always spared no effort to publicize and educate the advanced deeds in history.

But it is clear that Choi Jung-won's presentation of South Korea's history education methods is only to pave the way for the next part of China. And by this time, his tone was also a lot deeper. (To be continued......)
