What kind of education does elite education mean? A little more detailed
Superior education, the recognized standard of higher education: elite education is called when the enrollment rate of school-age population is below 15%, and mass education is called when the enrollment rate is above 15% to below 45%. Elite education is the way of selection. Elite education especially emphasizes the intelligence and foundation of the educated, and the proportion of people who have the opportunity to receive the so-called elite education is very small; Elite education is not simply to cultivate "exam-oriented" talents through examination results, but to measure the training objectives by improving students' comprehensive quality. The advantages of British education are undeniable. You can at least learn to think in some ways, and you can also establish some interpersonal relationships needed to start a career in the future, and get a rich life or other rewards envied by the world. Elite has become a scarce resource in society, and elite education is becoming one of the hottest words at present. From some universities listing golf as an elective course for students to parents scrambling to send their children to various etiquette training classes, all these actions outline people's imagined elite life.

If we only understand the "elite" from the superficial demeanor and lifestyle, elite education will become the pursuit of material fashion and trends, and universities seem to have a tendency to become beauty institutions or etiquette schools. In fact, elite training has nothing to do with elite skills training, such as playing golf. Elite consciousness is first of all social responsibility, humanistic spirit and scientific quality, and then the cultivation of personality temperament. Our university has put the cart before the horse in elite education.

Yale University, 170 1, has cultivated a large number of influential figures in the history of the United States and even the world for 300 years, and is even known as the "cradle of the president". When the president of Yale was asked how to cultivate elite talents, he did not talk too much about the significance of Yale's hardware facilities in the process of cultivating elite students, but talked about student associations. He pointed out that Yale students organized 250 clubs themselves. Because students graduate every year, some of these 250 clubs change their leaders every year. Yale University has more than 654.38 million students. In this way, 20% of Yale students have the opportunity to become the president of a club. He believes that students will cultivate all kinds of useful abilities in their own clubs. In fact, these clubs are actually a laboratory for cultivating leadership, and many important abilities such as cooperation ability, hands-on operation ability, persuasion and mobilization ability are cultivated in these club activities. President Yale's talk about American Ivy League is undoubtedly more enlightening for some of our principals who talk about insufficient government investment and pay attention to the introduction of advanced foreign hardware and equipment. From this point of view, the noblest accomplishment of students does not necessarily require excessive teaching costs, but educational ideas, such as a kind smile, appropriate language, teamwork spirit, organizational ability and so on. Can be obtained through classroom and life education.
