W: Professor Wang, let’s look at a different issue. How do you comment on the current phenomenon because of the fees they pay?
M: Well, once you accept students on financial grounds, one wonders whether you have to pass them as well. But this development in education is one that we have to contend with. Yet, if we are concerned about maintaining standards, what we can do is to concentrate on improving the quality of education.
W: Yes, you’re right. A university is judged by the quality of education it offers. Professor Wang, let’s turn to the future. What type of graduates, in your view, do universities of the future need to produce, if they are to remain relevant?
M: I think their graduates must be able to shift from one profession to another, because they are trained in a very independent way. If you can do that, you raise the level of the flexibility of the mind. Today’s rapid changes in technology demand this adaptability. And you see the best universities in the world are already trying to guarantee that their students will be technically trained, but will be the kind of people that can adapt to any change in situation.
W: I guess many people would agree with you on that point. University education should focus on both personal and professional development of students. But still some might believe there is a definite place for education in a broader sense—that is, in personal intellectual development.
M: No doubt about that. We need people who will think about the future, about the past, and also people who will think about society. If a society doesn’t have philosophers, or people who think about the value of life, it’s a very sad society indeed.
W: Professor Wang, my last question: do you see any common ground in education between your generation and the young generation now?
M: Adapting to new challenges is perhaps the true cornerstone of our generation’s legacy to education. And the future of education in a country rests not so much on the construction of better buildings, labs, etc., but in the development of an ever-adaptable mind.
W: That’s true. The essence of education is the education of the mind. Okay, thank you very much, Professor Wang, for talking to us on the show about the changing trends in education.
M: You’re welcome.
