Continuing education:
Continuing education is an educational activity for all members of society after school education, especially adult education. It is an important part of lifelong education system and an important way to improve national scientific and cultural quality and employment, entrepreneurship and innovation ability.
Continuing education provides opportunities for members of society to receive secondary and higher education and all kinds of training through multiple channels, and has made important contributions to China's transformation from a populous country to a country with large human resources.
Solution:
Raise awareness and innovate ideas. With the great progress of science and technology and economy, people's mode of production and lifestyle are undergoing profound changes. The future competition is the competition of strength, and the key of strength lies in science and technology, the key of science and technology lies in talents, and the cultivation of talents lies in education.
To prepare talents for the development of the new century through continuing education, it is necessary to put continuing education in a strategic position and make it play its role. We should further emancipate our minds, seek truth from facts, observe, think, study, understand and guide the practice of continuing education with scientific theory, development vision, advanced thinking and realistic attitude, find new ways to solve problems, create new achievements and open up new situations.
Optimize the curriculum and broaden the knowledge structure. In course design, we should implement the principle of applying what we have learned, give up the training of low-level skills and basic knowledge, design teaching content around the improvement of ability or pertinence, advocate interdisciplinary courses and courses reflecting the latest scientific and technological achievements, and realize the infiltration of arts and sciences, the integration of science and engineering, and the combination of foundation and due.
Let people who participate in continuing education feel that as long as they participate in the study, they will certainly gain something and benefit from it. Through continuing education, improve the overall quality of professional and technical personnel and enhance the contribution rate of science and technology.
Existing problems:
As a concept, the history of continuing education from its introduction to China to its initial development is very short. For a long time, due to the influence of traditional education concept, general education is more important than adult education (continuing education), and theoretical education is more important than skill education. Employers and enterprises in society pay attention to people's diplomas and academic qualifications, but ignore people's ability and internal quality, value people over people, and value immediate interests over long-term interests.
Willing to spend money on construction, unwilling to spend money on training people, holding the task of continuing education, or dismissive and perfunctory attitude. There is a lack of sufficient understanding of the importance and urgency of developing continuing education, and a good social atmosphere for receiving continuing education has not yet formed.
