"City of Education" and "City of Innovation" are both good construction targets. But the first thing to do is to build the university town into a "city of life" or a "city of happiness". It has been ten years since the university town was built, which has played an important role in promoting Guangdong's higher education and made great contributions to Guangdong's economic and social development. However, in the past ten years, the university town has also been "spit" countless times, mainly because of supporting problems. Although the university town is euphemistically called "city", it lacks the basic elements of "city", only the school is left, and even some basic elements of the school are lacking.
For example, from the perspective of education, the more opportunities for communication between teachers and students, the better the training of students. But in the university town, the relationship between teachers and students is simplified to a certain extent as the relationship between classes. The teacher came to the university town not far from Wan Li for class, and left in a hurry after class. For the university town, the teacher is just a passer-by, not a host. Students have no chance to communicate with teachers in depth. This was the case at the beginning of the university town. 10 years later, although the situation has improved, the enthusiasm of teachers to live and work in the university town is still not high. The reason is the matching problem.
In terms of housing, there is nothing suitable for teachers to live in except the revolving houses built in colleges and universities. There are several commercial buildings, but the price is 30,000 to 40,000, which teachers can't afford, especially the "green pepper". There is also the problem of children's enrollment. The children of faculty and staff in the university and university town campus where I work have to go to kindergartens and primary and secondary schools at the school headquarters, and it takes 40 minutes to drive one way. There are also traffic problems, commercial facilities and cultural facilities. And there are many unsatisfactory places. Teachers are unhappy in the university town, and only students will suffer.
Obviously, the new plan has noticed these problems, and many measures are targeted. After the implementation, it will definitely improve the "happy living" index of the university town. However, I have also noticed some issues that faculty members care about, at least not mentioned in the news, such as the enrollment and nursery of faculty members' children. Is it necessary to continue to let these children embark on a distant road to study from kindergarten?
The government has been pursuing some grand goals from beginning to end, such as improving education level, scientific and technological innovation and so on. This is of course understandable, but while pursuing these grand goals, can we also pay attention to some "subtle" problems, that is, pay attention to the personal lives of teachers and students who carry these grand goals? In this regard, the university town has a profound lesson. I hope this story will not be repeated here.
