He graduated from a prestigious school and loved private education. The New Oriental Education Technology Group, led by him, has set up 58 schools and more than 700 learning centers in 49 cities across the country, becoming the first private educational institution listed on the main board of new york in Chinese mainland. He is Yu, chairman and president of New Oriental Education Technology Group.
Yesterday morning, at the celebration of the 10th anniversary of Beijing New Oriental Foreign Language School in Yangzhou, our reporter had an exclusive interview with him.
Talk about Yangzhou
An educational city that respects teachers and values education.
10 years ago, when Beijing New Oriental Foreign Language School Yangzhou Branch settled in Yangzhou, there was still a wasteland around the school; 10 years later, the school has made great progress in Yangzhou, and the surrounding area of the school has become a new hot spot of urban development.
Schools have been established in 49 cities across the country, but they have deep feelings for Yangzhou. "Yangzhou is a highly educated city. The atmosphere of respecting teachers and attaching importance to teaching is very strong. The people attach importance to education, and many government leaders have feelings for and know more about education. This makes me very moved. " He said: "In the course of Yangzhou 10, Beijing New Oriental Foreign Language School Yangzhou Branch has made great progress, which also shows that Yangzhou has a good school environment." In the future, there will be a new plan for the development of Yangzhou New Oriental based on the city center, but it is more important to improve the teaching quality. "
On private education
Committed to improving students' lifelong competitiveness
As the leader of the largest private education institution in China, Yu is very clear about the direction of cultivating talents in private education, which is to improve students' lifelong competitiveness.
"For example, domestic high school graduates admitted to Peking University, Tsinghua, Harvard and Yale can not only be solved by scores, but also improve students' lifelong competitiveness. Education is actually for children's lifelong competitiveness, not only for good grades, but also for character and personality, so they should be open-minded and positive. "
Yu also admitted that the college entrance examination has brought great pressure to private education. "Schools must let students get high marks and cultivate quality hand in hand."
On Family Education
Cultivate children's independence and team spirit
What suggestions do you have for the current family education?
"First of all, we must cultivate children's independence, not only the ability to think independently, but also the independence of personality." Yu said that it is also important to cultivate children's team spirit. He said that many children are easy to compare with others. When you get older, you will also show a poor sense of cooperation, and even some extreme situations will occur. To this end, parents should cultivate their children's cooperative spirit from an early age, know how to make concessions, learn to share, and learn to survive in a team.
On "Chinese Partner"
There is indeed a new oriental entrepreneurial story.
At present, the film "Chinese Partner" has attracted many people's attention. The film tells the entrepreneurial process of three founders of New Dream, a foreign language education institution. Some people say that Huang Xiaoming's prototype is based on. Based on his image in a popular movie, Yu said: "I have seen this movie, which contains elements of inspiration, struggle and entrepreneurship, and it does include the entrepreneurial story of New Oriental. But the producer didn't communicate with me, and I didn't participate. "
Regarding putting the entrepreneurial experience of New Oriental on the big screen, Yu said, "I don't support or oppose it. To be exact, this film has nothing to do with me. " .
