With the two sessions approaching in 2022, high-quality education has become a hot topic of concern for the representatives and members of the two sessions and the people. Education is not only related to the healthy growth of individuals, but also related to the progress of society, the prosperity of the country and the future of the nation. What is good education? How many levels can a good education be understood? Focusing on high-quality education, Shi Zhongying, Dean of the Institute of education of Tsinghua University and educator, gave his own views. During the two sessions in 2021, Tang jiangpeng, then member of the National Committee of the Chinese people's Political Consultative Conference and President of Xishan senior high school in Jiangsu Province, answered the question of what is good education in his speech at the "committee channel". He believes that good education is to cultivate lifelong athletes, responsibility bearers, problem solvers and elegant people. President Tang's answer aroused repercussions in the educational circles. So what is good education? In the history of educational thought, countless educators and thinkers have given their own answers. For example, Plato said in the Republic that an educated person is a person whose mind turns. Using zoological metaphor to express this thought is that our mind turns from low to high, from false to true, and from darkness to light, If a person's heart focuses on the high place, the real place and the bright place, he has received a real education and a good education. Dewey believes that education is life, education is growth, and education is the transformation of experience. He firmly opposes the separation of education and life, and believes that education is to improve the ability of actors to constantly adapt to the environment. "University", one of the four ancient Chinese books, mentions that "the way of university is to be virtuous, to be friendly to the people and to be good." Good education means the promotion of personal morality, the harmony of social relations and the realization of the ideal state system. Tao Xingzhi believes that thousands of teachers teach people to seek truth, and thousands of students learn to be real people. Education is to cultivate people's vitality. In my opinion, good education should return to the essence of education, improve the quality and value of life, promote the harmonious development of one's body and mind, and give them the ability to serve the society. Although the standards of good education are different in different times and different societies, I think some connotations may be consensus. How to understand good education? I think a good education includes four levels of understanding: first, a good education must be a suitable education, a complete education, an enabling education, and an education that points to the cultivation of students' sound personality. What is suitable education? Philosophically speaking, everyone is unique. In this world, we can't find two identical leaves, let alone two identical people, and two people who are completely identical in cognition, emotion and values. Therefore, teaching students according to their aptitude is the core and the highest requirement of education, and it is also the most essential definition of educational equity. Complete education, not one-sided education and split education. In the 1980s, a Japanese expert on children's education, Inoue Shen, wrote a book entitled "spiritual and moral sentiment - Japanese who ignore the education of their other half", which deeply criticized the harm caused by Japanese examinations to teenagers and the impact on society, After retirement, Harry Lewis, President of Harvard College, wrote a very famous book called excellence without soul, which deeply criticized the elite universities represented by Harvard University for catering to the needs of business and forgetting the purpose of education for several years. Therefore, education should be a complete education, which should cultivate complete people, rather than one-sided and split people. Education should be an enabling education. Teaching is to avoid teaching. Education is realized through self-education. It is necessary to cultivate students' independent consciousness and free spirit as the basic goal of education. Finally, education should point to the cultivation of students' complete personality, which is the first level. Talk about good education from the perspective of the relationship between education and human development. Second, education should promote the improvement of public life. Man is a social animal. According to Marx's definition, the essence of man is the sum of all social relations in its practical sense. Therefore, if you want to know a person, you should know his social relations. Human problems also reflect the problems existing in social relations. To promote human development and social progress is inseparable, so in this sense, the care of educational value cannot be limited to personal growth and personal future. Education must take the promotion of social unity, social cooperation, social trust and social justice as the goal of education. Therefore, the child in the eyes of educators is not just him, They are also future members of society. Third, good education is to promote the free and all-round development of all the people. We are a socialist country and taking the people as the center is the value basis of our development. Therefore, our education is not for a few people. Our education is for all the people. We should run an education satisfactory to the people. Even if we want to cultivate elites, these elites are also the elites of the people. Their core mission is to serve the people, Not just for their personal future and glory. Fourth, cultivate global citizens. In 2021, the world population has reached 7.8 billion. I think everyone in every corner of the earth has the right to enjoy peaceful development, fairness, justice, democracy and freedom, but it is not easy to realize such a beautiful ideal. Mankind is facing many common challenges, such as disease, poverty, climate change, prejudice of values, old grudges of history and so on. We human beings have a common future, so a good education must surpass individualism, narrow nationalism and a broader vision of value. We should cultivate children's global citizenship from childhood, and today we should cultivate their ecological citizenship. Only when such citizens are born can we see the beauty and power of education. Education always contains hope. Education is a career facing the future, and the hope of mankind lies in mutual respect, trust, tolerance, unity and cooperation between mankind. In fact, these value principles are also suitable for daily interpersonal communication. If there is no respect, trust, unity, honesty and cooperation between people, I think the meaning and quality of our life will be greatly reduced. (Xinhua News Agency)
