Technical-scientific education as a consequence to global competition
In the face of an accelerated technological revolution and industrial transformation, China is taking a strategical step in education. Recently, the Ministry of Education and six another institutions issued a paper entitled Opinion on Strengthening method education in primary and secondary schools. Commenting on this initiative, Chen Bai wrote for the 21jingji.com portal, which indicates that a fresh approach to discipline teaching is not only a programming issue — it is the foundation of future technological sovereignty.
From ‘technique’ to technological Thinking
Chen Bai emphasizes that modern technical-scientific education must not be limited to conveying dry facts or improving manual skills. Instead, it should make General technological ability to analyse, question and create under uncertainty. It is crucial that students experience the full process of investigation — from hypothesis to experimentation to failure analysis and optimization of solutions.
Humanism as an antidote for “soulless technology”
One of the most crucial messages of Chen Bai’s article is the necessity Deep integration of discipline into humanities. Without this synthesis, method education risks closing down in "technology for technology" — without ethical reflection, social work or knowing of the historical context. As Chen Bai notes, the future belongs to those who can “Look to the stars” and at the same time “stand on the ground”.
Needham's dilemma and a fresh model of education
The author besides refers to the celebrated “needham dilemma”: “Since the ancient Chinese made a crucial contribution to the improvement of planet technology, why did the technological and industrial revolution not take place in China in modern times?” The answer, as Chen Bai says, lies not in the deficiency of technology but in the deficiency of lasting cultural ecosystemwho supports curiosity, tolerates errors and rewards cooperation. specified an ecosystem cannot be created at once. It requires a systemic, multi-annual investment in education from an early age.
Practice, not perfection
At the heart of a fresh educational doctrine stands Practical actionBut not to make perfect prototypes. It's just that experienced the technological process fully, learning perseverance, critical reasoning and readiness to operate under unknown conditions — competences that will be crucial in future industries from artificial intelligence to space exploration.
The Future Begins present — In School Class
Chen Bai's conclusion is simple but deep: The longest and most solid consequence of civilization to technological uncertainty is to build an educational ecosystemwhere discipline is friendly, valuable and interdisciplinary. This is not just an chance for China — it is simply a universal lesson for all societies who want to be active creators of the future, not just its passive observers.
Technical and technological education should not be a collection of dry facts — it must be “warm” and awaken the sense of mission. Students should realize the complexities of the past of science, perseverance and sacrifice of scholars in order to make respect for discipline and a sense of social responsibility, as well as to consider the limits of ethical technology and its social importance.
Today, the classical model for the improvement of the advanced technology sector has fundamentally changed. He's not resisting anymore. on a linear breakthrough within a single discipline, but on systemic innovation resulting from intense interdisciplinaryness and deep integration. Future industries — whether it be artificial intelligence, biotechnology or space exploration — compete present not only in method terms, but above all in terms of originality of thought, breakthroughs in basic logic and the construction of technology ethics.
