With a childhood dream, Xu Ma Zhuang applied for the navigation technology major of Yan 'an Vocational and Technical College. In 20 13, this young man in Yan' an mountain area became an official sailor. "I have been to more than 30 countries and seen different cultures and landscapes. Now I am working as three pairs on the boat, and my monthly income is more than 1 10,000, which is equivalent to my parents' income from farming for half a year. " When he became a sailor, Xu Mazhuang not only broadened his horizons and increased his knowledge, but also improved his life at home.
From the loess high slope to the blue sea and blue sky, behind Xu Mazhuang's sailing dream, it is inseparable from the in-depth promotion of precision poverty alleviation in western navigation education. In recent years, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council have attached great importance to vocational education in rural areas, ethnic areas and poverty-stricken areas, and regarded vocational education as a "first move" to speed up the development of old areas and do a good job in poverty alleviation and development, so that everyone has the opportunity to shine in life.
"One point is deployed and nine points are implemented." With the joint efforts of all walks of life, China Maritime Western Seafarer Training Base adheres to the concept of "nurturing the sea with wisdom", effectively connects maritime specialty with poverty alleviation, promotes the change of employment concept by spreading maritime culture, and explores a characteristic road of the old maritime poverty alleviation area by improving vocational education level and comprehensive employment skills, helping more and more western youths realize their sailing dreams.
In August 2007, coordinated by Tianjin Maritime Safety Administration, it signed a letter of intent for cooperation with Yan 'an Old District Construction Promotion Association and Yan 'an Vocational and Technical College, and selected Yan 'an Vocational and Technical College as the training base for seafarers in the west.

Sow a seed and let modern marine culture take root in the Loess Plateau.
"'What is a sailor' and' Is sailing dangerous'? In recent years, we have answered these questions for Yanan locals. Inland people are too strange to the ocean, and sailing is like another world. "Gao, dean of Yan 'an Vocational and Technical College, told People's Daily reporter that at the beginning of the establishment of the seaman training base, enrollment was once difficult because the people in the west were unfamiliar with the ocean.
How to sow the seeds of modern marine culture in this arid yellow land? After consultation with Tianjin Maritime Safety Administration, Yan 'an Vocational and Technical College launched a series of spring ploughing plans: holding lectures on shipping knowledge, seminars on seafarers' development, and publicizing maritime culture by means of news media and internet propaganda; Widely mobilize graduates to tell nautical stories with real events and personal feelings; Use activities such as "World Seafarer's Day" and "China Navigation Day" to popularize navigation and marine knowledge; Organize teachers and students to go deep into the countryside to introduce seafarers' occupations to potential students and their parents, so that all sectors of society can have a sense of identity with the ocean and seafarers' occupations.
Nowadays, the seamen's training base in the west has become the land with the strongest "seafood" on the yellow land. The school has set up three majors: navigation technology, marine engineering technology and international cruise crew management, with a total of 1047 students and 55 graduates. The enrollment situation has improved year by year, with 202 students enrolled in 20 16 and 228 students enrolled this year. The enrollment scope has also expanded from Shaanxi Province to Shanxi, Jiangxi, Gansu, Ningxia, Sichuan, Chongqing and other places. At the same time, every year the school holds a sailing day, many shipping companies come here to recruit people, and the school also sends many students to participate in sailing seminars all over the country.
Ma Kuijun, secretary of the Party Committee of Tianjin Maritime College, recalled that when he first came to Yan 'an to sign a teaching agreement 10 years ago, some locals told him that he was not optimistic about the project. "We have never seen the sea in our life. When we think of the sea, we think of fear. We want to run a seaman's school, which is so far away from the sea that no one will apply. "
Now, the influence of the school is gradually increasing, and the enrollment situation is getting better and better. Ma Kuijun believes that this change is more due to the local people's awareness of maritime civilization. "Since the establishment of the Western Seafarer Training Base 10, it has achieved success step by step, which is not only reflected in the scale development, but also in the number of graduates and employment income. More importantly, it has brought a broad, inclusive, rich, modern, tolerant and energetic marine cultural connotation to this yellow land, so that the children here can see the wonderful outside world. "
"More and more seafarers in the west bring the Loess Plateau culture to the coast and the world, and at the same time bring marine culture and marine culture back to their hometown. In this process, they are not only changing themselves, but more importantly, they have influenced their relatives and friends and brought them a blue ocean dream. " Hu Wei, deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Maritime Safety Administration of the Ministry of Transport, believes that the Western Seafarer Training Project is a bridge that integrates blue marine culture, marine culture, loess high slope culture and inland culture.
Zhang Shuangxi Biao, inspector of the Maritime Safety Administration of the Ministry of Transport, also believes that the construction of the seamen's training base in the west has enabled these old children to master the "golden key" that can determine their future destiny and give them professional honor, dignity and confidence in the future.
It is understood that in order to build a crew that meets the national strategic needs and adapts to China's shipping development, the Ministry of Transport has issued the China Crew Development Plan (20 16-2020), which puts forward a series of policies and measures to promote the crew's professional development, continuously improves the crew's development environment, and uses various means to promote the crew's culture and enhance their professional attraction.
"When I applied for the navigation major, my neighbors couldn't figure it out. You can't go to the seaside on yellow soil. Now neighbors also want their children to go out and see the outside world. " Now the neighbors have seen the changes in Xu Mazhuang's thoughts and income since he became a sailor, and his concept has also changed. Xu Ma Zhuang's future goal is to be promoted to captain. He intends to share more sailing experience with more western children, hoping to help them guide the way.
Connect a bridge and open a new channel for the old revolutionary base areas to get rid of poverty and become rich.
Xu Mazhuang lives in Liqu Village, Panlong Town, Baota District, Yan 'an City. His parents planted more than 20 acres of land and raised several sheep, earning about 20 thousand a year.
"In the past, the family was poor, and there were many brothers and sisters in the family, which cost a lot. The money earned by parents in a year is basically spent. " 20 14 years, in the first year after becoming a sailor, Xu Mazhuang earned more than 6,000 yuan a month. He took out his savings for one year to repair the house at home. Now, with the increase of sailing experience, Xu Mazhuang earns 1000 yuan a month, and he also lends his brother 70,000 yuan to buy a new house. Xu Mazhuang proudly said: "The income now is very good for my children in this mountain. It can help families improve their lives and make parents not have to work so hard. "
Unlike Xumazhuang, Duan left Dashan Village, Zhidan County, Yan 'an City, and boarded an international ocean-going ship by attending a short-term crew skills training course. 20 12, Duan boarded the ship from India for the first time. "In the first year, I worked as a crew member on international routes for more than 9 months and got back 80,000 yuan for my family. In addition to repairing the house, I also bought new furniture and appliances for my family. "
According to statistics, the per capita disposable income of rural residents in Yan 'an is 20 10568 yuan, while the monthly income of ordinary crew members reaches 5,000 to 10000 yuan, and the annual income of senior crew members reaches several hundred thousand yuan. "A family with a crew member can drive one or even two families out of poverty." Li Ruizhi, president of Yan 'an Old District Construction Promotion Association, told the reporter that the training program for seafarers in the west not only provided new ways for youth employment in the old district, but also opened up new channels for people in the old district to get rid of poverty and become rich.
In recent years, various social forces have participated extensively, and precise poverty alleviation in the old revolutionary base areas has been carried out in the process of promoting the development of seafarers in the west. By promoting the change of professional concept, the accurate connection between vocational skills education and employment has been realized, and the "trinity" poverty alleviation and development working mechanism of education poverty alleviation, culture poverty alleviation and employment poverty alleviation has been gradually formed.
In the process of implementation, Tianjin Maritime Safety Administration, Yan 'an Municipal Government, Yan 'an Old Promotion Association, Yan 'an Vocational and Technical College and other parties sent research teams to the front line for investigation and investigation. Especially in the enrollment season, the research team and the enrollment team will go to poor villagers' homes to understand their thoughts, introduce seafarers' occupations, reduce their tuition and fees, and subsidize part of their living expenses.
2065438+September 2005, with the promotion of Tianjin Maritime Safety Administration, relevant departments of Yan 'an jointly issued the Notice on Implementing Precise Poverty Alleviation and Further Promoting Seafarer Training. Through the combination of poverty alleviation subsidies, enterprise assistance and tuition fee reduction, relying on the western seafarers training base, we vigorously carried out poverty alleviation training, opened up new channels for precise poverty alleviation, and took the lead in getting rid of poverty in Yan' an revolutionary old area. At present, nearly 100 sailors and mechanics have been trained, and all of them have been employed on board.
On April 20 16, Tianjin Maritime Safety Administration held a symposium on serving Yan 'an precision poverty alleviation, studied and implemented the "peer-to-peer" precision poverty alleviation work plan for crew education and training, and coordinated the shipping enterprises in the jurisdiction to sign contracts with all the students of the precision poverty alleviation sailor training class of Yan 'an Vocational and Technical College. In July this year, Tianjin Maritime Safety Administration helped Yan 'an Vocational and Technical College to carry out a new round of assistance with curriculum construction as the main content. It is planned to complete the transplantation and reconstruction of advanced navigation teaching concepts and experiences in 3-4 years.
At present, 60 students from poor families have set up their files and set up their cards in the western seaman training base. Gao said that in the next step, the western seafarers training base will adhere to the combination of enrollment and poverty alleviation to ensure the source of students in the base; Combine financial aid with poverty alleviation policies to ensure the completion of studies; Combine employment with poverty alleviation to ensure poverty alleviation as scheduled.
Helping the poor first helps the ambition, and helping the ambition will help the wisdom. Li Guoxiang, director of Tianjin Maritime Safety Administration, said, "Facts have proved that seafarers' profession has improved the overall quality and development potential while helping the whole family to get rid of poverty quickly, and has effectively explored a convenient way for the people in the old liberated areas to get rid of poverty. "
Draw concentric circles and let education help western children achieve brilliant lives.
Ada is a teacher in Yan 'an Vocational and Technical College. In the second half of 20 16, she came to Yan 'an from Tianjin Maritime College to teach the course of Cruise Tourism Marketing to the students of the first international cruise crew class in the western region. She deeply felt that the students here have unique sincerity and kindness, as well as a longing for the future and occasional clumsiness.
"Have you ever seen the sea? Have you ever seen a cruise ship? " This is the first question Ada asked the students in class. Ada told reporters that the cruise industry is still a new industry in China, and even in coastal cities, the awareness is not very high. "The students have never seen the sea or a cruise ship. In addition to imparting knowledge and skills, teachers are more about igniting their dreams, inspiring them to struggle, opening a window for them, and slowly moistening the marine culture in their hearts, thus generating enthusiasm and courage to show their fight against the sea. "
In class, Ada shared her experiences and experiences on the cruise with students, interspersed with some interactions from time to time, and gave students some tasks to let them actually experience and feel. She said to the students, "I'll take you to see the world now. I hope that one day when you get on the boat, you can share the world with me on the round-the-world route." Ada thinks this is the greatest happiness of being a teacher.
In recent years, many teaching teachers like Ada have taken the trouble to come to Yan 'an. They introduced the advanced navigation teaching concept of eastern universities into the old liberated areas, helped improve the quality of navigation education in the west, helped students here to establish their aspirations and courage, and improved their comprehensive vocational skills.
It is understood that since 20 12, 28 professors and experts from 7 teaching colleges across the country have been sent to Yan' an to teach under the coordination and promotion of Tianjin Maritime Safety Administration. Gao said gratefully, "At that time, there was a serious shortage of navigation teachers in the base. These teaching teachers came to Yan 'an, not only to teach students professional knowledge, but also to help bring out a group of local professional teachers, which provided a solid teacher guarantee for the construction and development of the base. "
"From the beginning, I helped students and lectured, and later I paid more attention to hematopoietic teaching, helped the base to train teachers, and helped local teachers improve their teaching level and practical training ability." Ma Kuijun believes that the biggest change in the teaching process in recent years is the change from "blood transfusion" to "hematopoiesis", which has largely solved the fundamental problem of improving the sustainable development of teaching level in the base.
Employment is the most concerned thing for students and parents. In order to solve the problem of limited employment channels for students, Tianjin Maritime Safety Administration organizes enterprises to build a platform for seafarers' employment in the west, and organizes shipping enterprises and institutions under its jurisdiction to participate in the "double election meeting" for maritime graduates of Yan 'an Vocational and Technical College every year, providing enough jobs and sufficient choice opportunities, and the employment rate reaches 100%.
Nowadays, with the strong support of the government, schools, industries, enterprises and other sectors of society, the training base for seafarers in the west has been significantly improved in terms of personnel training, training base construction, quality system construction, curriculum construction, and teacher team construction. Yan 'an Vocational and Technical College has become the first college in northwest China to obtain the qualification of crew training approved by the Maritime Safety Administration of the Ministry of Transport, and has the qualification of inland river crew training. The total construction area of teaching and training places is more than 65,438+0,000 square meters. It consists of five training bases: navigation, marine engineering, cruising, textual research and water safety, and has more than 30 training rooms. The passing rate of students' professional examinations has been continuously improved, and many students have also won grand prizes in national and Shaanxi vocational college skill competitions.
Many political parties unite and work together. In the interview, the reporter deeply felt that the strong growth of the seaman training base in the west has condensed the common support of social forces. They regard selfless dedication as the value beacon of this era, illuminating the road for children in the west to achieve brilliant lives.
Don't forget your initiative and move on. At present, the training of seafarers in the west has made good progress, from preaching, teaching, solving doubts to employment, forming an effective system and mechanism, and exploring a road out of poverty with the characteristics of maritime vocational education.
In the future, there is still a long way to go for seafarers' training in the west. Party Secretary Yang and Minister Li of the Ministry of Transport attach great importance to traffic poverty alleviation, poverty alleviation and crew training in the western region. Yang pointed out that the construction of seamen's training base in western China has achieved hard-won results, which will be summarized as part of the poverty alleviation work of the Ministry of Transport, and will continue to push forward, form a joint force with all sectors of society, support the local authorities to continuously improve the function of "hematopoiesis", and help more western children realize their dream of becoming rich by sailing. ?
