《English Translation》黄刚: 小花, have you heard? Recently, many undergraduate majors that don't align with societal development, like advertising and music, have been canceled, while 1,673 new programs urgently needed by the country have been added.
陈花: Really? That sounds like a big change. Why were these majors canceled? Will it have a significant impact on students?
黄刚: The Ministry of Education says it’s to make the major offerings better align with societal needs. Some low-employment, industry-disconnected majors, like publishing and editing, are gradually being phased out. Meanwhile, fields like artificial intelligence and the digital economy are growing rapidly.
陈花: Hmm, it sounds like it's meant to balance talent supply and demand. But what about students currently enrolled in the canceled majors? Aren’t they worried about their future?
黄刚: Some are indeed feeling the pressure. For instance, an advertising student joked about being a 'disciple of a closing discipline' and is concerned about job prospects. But others have started interning early, improving their skills, and focusing on more practical career plans.
陈花: This could be seen as an opportunity in a crisis. Students can connect with market demands earlier. But doesn’t this also place higher demands on teachers?
黄刚: Yes, teachers need to adapt to these changes as well, updating their knowledge and possibly teaching new courses. Essentially, this 'reshuffling' is about making education more market-oriented so universities can produce talent that truly meets societal needs.
陈花: That makes sense. Adjustments in universities are necessary. But I think balancing major cancellations with managing students' psychological pressure will require more effort from the education authorities and schools.
黄刚: Exactly. The rise and fall of majors isn’t the end but the beginning of a new plan. As Confucius said, 'Teach according to the student’s aptitude.' Education should help students find their own suitable path.
