Today,
many
Chinese
universities
attach
great
importance
to
cultivating
innovation
awareness
and
entrepreneurship. Many prestigious universities
establish long-term relationships with a lot
of
companies.
These
companies
recruit
qualified
graduates
from
the
universities
on
a
regular
basis. What’s more, some alumni even
crea
te start-up funds to support
students in starting their
own
business. The presidents of some universities say
that doing business and studying are not in
conflict and that encouraging students
to set up businesses can help them put their
specialized
knowledge into practice and
raise their competitiveness.

人文学科也十分重要。
为培养全面发展的

博雅教育有利于培养想象力

Nowadays,
although
quite
a
large
number
of
Chinese
college
students
still
select
business
or
science and technology as
their major, more and more students realize that
humanities are also
essential.
In
order
to
cultivate
all-round
students,
some
top
universities
in
China
are
making
efforts to promote
liberal education. Liberal education provides a
general education curriculum
so
that
students
are
exposed
to
multiple
disciplines
and
develop
various
learning
strategies
in
addition
to
in-
depth
study
of
at
least
one
specialized
course.
A
liberal
education
helps
foster
imagination

critical
thinking
to
allow
students
to
better
adapt
to
an
increasingly
complex
labour market.
中国的父母历来重视孩子的教育。
他
们认为，
如果孩子做事时能得到大人适当的指导，
就会
更愿意完成复杂的工作，因此，
“手把手教”被视为教育孩子的最佳方式。
近年来，
受西方教育观念的影响，<

中国的父母开始注重培养孩子的独立性和创造力。
他们鼓
励孩子参加兴趣班学习绘画或音乐，希望孩子通过不断的学习和探索而获得全面的发展。
Chinese parents pay
a lot of attention to their children’s education.
They hold that children are
more
willing to accomplish complicated tasks if adults
can give them proper guidance. Therefore,
“teaching by giving
step
-by-
step directions” is
taken as the best way to educate children.
In recent
years, under the influence of Western ideas of
education, Chinese parents are beginning
to give more priority to fostering
independence and creativity in children. They
encourage their
children to attend
interest classes to learn painting or music. They
hope that their children will
become
all-round individuals by constantly learning and
exploring.
