3 Why lifelong education is essential in this day and age

The times are developing rapidly, if you don't study again after graduating from school, so that a few years will be eliminated by the times, only all people in the society continue to learn, and at any time you want to learn can have a place to learn, to ensure that your knowledge follows the pace of the times, so as to gain a foothold in society, our country's education is developing in the direction of lifelong education, for example, in addition to school education, there are many training courses, and enterprises will also improve the place for employees to continue learning, These are signs of the maturity of the lifelong education system.

Trends in the development of the modern education system:

1) Strengthen pre-school education and pay attention to the connection with primary education;

2) Strengthen the universalization of compulsory education and extend the period of compulsory education;

3) general education and vocational education are developing in the direction of mutual penetration;

4) the types of higher education are becoming increasingly diverse;

5) the boundary between academic and non-academic education is gradually blurred;

6) The education system is conducive to international exchange.

With the rapid development of the times, the world of science and technology, knowledge is constantly innovating, and we must keep up with the pace of the times. In order to develop, it is necessary to pay attention not only to the exemption of tuition and miscellaneous fees, but also to all aspects of education.

First of all, knowledge is changing and constantly improving. Only by continuous learning can we update the latest level of knowledge.

Secondly, because of our own development needs, we must accept newer knowledge in order to adapt to the times.

Furthermore, it is necessary to keep pace with the times. Moreover, after people are in society, their needs are targeted, and these pertinences cannot be understood and known when they are in school before.

For example, if a person majored in engineering in school, but did not engage in such work after work, but engaged in statistical work, then he can only do a better job by learning statistics knowledge...

The purpose of lifelong education is to learn to survive. Survivability is the most basic human need. Education is the ladder of human progress, and staged education can provide the educated with the knowledge they need at the moment, and lifelong education advocates providing the best education at the moment when everyone needs knowledge and skills most.

The president of Youshu once said that everyone can enjoy the good life brought by lifelong education. The times are constantly evolving, and only lifelong education is the fast train to catch up with the times, so that we can learn to survive and create a better life.

The founder of Youshu once said: Lifelong education is a process of continuous learning and continuous improvement of oneself, and the use of growth to combat anxiety and uncertainty in life.

This may be the meaning of lifelong education.

Because on the road of feeling beautiful, throbbing, romantic, sunny, sad and realizing, we will encounter all kinds of new challenges and tests, and only by crossing this test can you see the next stage of wonderful. In order to have the ability to cross the past, we need to master knowledge and practical methods, so reading, attending classes, and studying are all ways for us to increase our skills and withstand the tests of life.

Historically, the case of Nokia, the former mobile phone giant, was attacked by smartphones, telling us a truth, "when the times abandon you, you will not say goodbye". What this sentence reveals is that the changes of the times are often unexpected. As ordinary people, we may not feel very strongly about risks and changes, but it is precisely because we do not have the ability to predict risks in advance, and when risks do come, we will see so many people who are unemployed, have a difficult life, and have no ability to fight back.

Lifelong learning is the secret we use to increase knowledge, anticipate risks, and improve resistance, and as ordinary people, lifelong learning can make our lives a little more stable.

Once, by chance, I met Youshu, and in Youshu, I started my life stage of reading and taking classes, and I learned about lifelong growth mindset here, which made me understand that lifelong learning is a state.

At the 5th anniversary reading conference of Youshu, I listened to the speech of Lei Wentao, the founder of Youshu, and had the following thoughts:

I think the most important thing is to help you think correctly and to help you better perceive the things around you through lifelong education.

The true value that lifelong education conveys to you is not only knowledge, but also consciousness of consciousness: awareness of the true nature of things, awareness of the ordinary and extraordinary hidden around us. how not to be a walking dead and unconscious while experiencing a comfortable, affluent, respectable adult life; how not to be enslaved by the brain, not to be enslaved by self-centeredness; You don't think you're a completely unique master, and you're not caught up in a cycle of day after day, year after year.

Day after day, year after year in adult life, it is unimaginably difficult to stay aware and active. This just validates the old saying:

Live and learn.

Lifelong education is the sum total of the various types of education that people receive at all stages of their lives. It includes all stages and modalities of the education system, both school education and social education; There is both formal and non-formal education. We advocate the provision of the necessary knowledge and skills in the best possible way at the moment of everyone's need.

The idea of lifelong education has become the guiding principle of education reform in many countries, and lifelong nature is the biggest feature of lifelong education. It breaks through the framework of formal school, regards education as a continuous learning process in an individual's life, and is the sum total of various trainings that people receive in their life, and realizes the unity of the entire educational process from preschool to old age. It includes both formal and non-formal education.

It encompasses all stages and forms of the education system. The universal nature of lifelong education means that all people receiving lifelong education include all people, regardless of gender, age, age, poverty, race and gender. Dabey, a UNESCO education researcher in Hamburg, proposed that lifelong education has the characteristics of democratization, and opposes the use of educational knowledge in the service of the so-called elites, so that the general population with multiple abilities can have equal access to educational opportunities.

In fact, everyone in today's society must learn to survive, and to learn to survive is inseparable from lifelong education, because survival and development is the mainstream of the times, and survival must be able to learn, which is a new topic put forward by modern society for everyone. Extensiveness Lifelong education includes both family education, school education, and social education. It encompasses all phases of man, so to speak, and is education at all times, in all places, on all occasions and in all aspects.

Lifelong education has expanded the world of learning and injected new vitality into the entire educational undertaking. Flexibility and practicality Modern lifelong flexibility is manifested in the fact that anyone who needs to learn can receive any form of education anytime, anywhere. The when, where, what, and how of learning is up to the individual.

People can choose the most suitable study for themselves according to their characteristics and needs.

The development trends of the modern education system are:

1) Strengthen pre-school education and pay attention to the connection with primary education; Many countries have integrated pre-primary education into their national education systems and have attached importance to articulation to primary education.

2) Strengthen universal compulsory education and extend the length of compulsory education. At the end of the 19th century, some countries in Europe and the United States began to implement compulsory primary education and gradually extended the period of compulsory education. More than 2 3 countries in the world now have a compulsory education system of 9 years or more.

3) general education and vocational education are developing in the direction of mutual penetration; General education is mainly a school education with the purpose of advancing to higher education and basic scientific knowledge as the main teaching content; Vocational education is a school education that aims at employment and focuses on the knowledge and skills of engaging in a certain occupation or productive labor. After World War II, there was a trend towards the professionalization of general education and the generalization of vocational education.

4) the types of higher education are becoming increasingly diverse; With the richness and diversification of social life and the popularization of higher education, the traditional single university based on academic standards has gradually changed. There are also various forms and contents, as well as the purpose of admission and assessment methods.

5) the boundary between academic and non-academic education is gradually blurred; With the transformation of one-time education to lifelong education, the degree of obtaining a diploma for the purpose of education is gradually decreasing, the purpose of supplementing knowledge and enriching life through education is getting stronger and stronger, the degree of social education is getting higher and higher, and the boundary between academic education and non-academic education is gradually diluted.

6) The education system is conducive to international exchange. The development of transportation and communication technology has made the world shrinking, and international cultural exchanges are becoming more and more important and realistic, which requires the education systems of various countries to be conducive to international exchanges and increase the interoperability of academic systems, degrees, credits, etc.
