Educational idea

General education and junior college education are just different choices of educational models, which are essentially caused by different understandings of "education".

General education focuses on "teaching" rather than "teaching", because there is no rigid division of majors in general education, and the choices it provides are diversified. Students gain freedom and natural growth through diversified choices. It can be said that general education is a kind of humanistic education, which transcends utility and practicality. The reason why we should follow the example of "scholars and thinkers in universities" is that they have the valuable qualities of independent personality and independent thinking, which is the ultimate pursuit of general education. Because education is not a production line in the workshop, it produces the same model and the same thinking. Is to develop and tap the potential and spiritual temperament of different individuals. Because general education is to "cultivate" real "people" rather than "products".
