Difficult college students can adopt more humane measures such as' eat first, pay later '
2024-10-08
Classmate, if you are currently facing difficulties, you can come to this window to eat first and pay when the economic situation improves. I am willing to take care of you for your parents and believe that everything will be okay. Let's work together! "In early September, a warm notice was posted outside a cafeteria on the campus of Anqing Normal University. According to the China Youth Daily, on September 26, a student took the notice of Anqing Teachers' Canteen and sent it to the Tiktok platform. Once released, it was praised by netizens. A comment with nearly 40000 likes said, "A good school doesn't need to be promoted, students will promote it themselves." A netizen left a comment saying, "I think a good university should not be limited to scientific research level and teaching level of teachers, but also have enough humanistic care." "We won't let any student go to class hungry," said Liao Bingbing, the person in charge of catering at the Longhu cafeteria of the school, when talking about why it provides "food first, pay later" service. 'Eat first, pay later' is not about paying after finishing the meal, but about keeping accounts first and paying later when you have money. The school cafeteria has set up a dedicated window to provide students with temporary difficulties with a "eat first, pay later" dining green channel. Although it is only a small measure, it makes students feel warm. The unanimous praise from students and public opinion indicates that universities should pursue humane management and provide more humanistic care. In recent years, universities have implemented many humane practices in helping the needy and assisting students. For example, using big data to analyze the consumption situation of students in school canteens, screening out poor students with low consumption, and "quietly" giving them money for their meal cards. This not only protects the privacy of impoverished students, but also enables precise assistance in a "silent" manner, receiving praise from students and public opinion. 'Eat first, pay later' is aimed at students who have temporary difficulties. Each student's family has different economic conditions, and the assistance and assistance measures in universities are also diverse. For students with sudden family changes and temporary difficulties, universities will provide certain subsidies. However, applying for subsidies requires certain procedures and time. For students who encounter temporary difficulties, if there are more flexible measures, they will receive more timely assistance. Some students may indeed fall into the dilemma of having no money in their meal cards for meals. Some are due to the family not providing living expenses in a timely manner, while others are due to other expenses that have squeezed out living expenses... In the past, when faced with such situations, some students would borrow money from their classmates to recharge, while others would just "eat and starve". The school cafeteria has launched a thoughtful service of "eat first, pay later", so that all students no longer worry about not having money in their meal cards and not being able to eat. Of course, some people are also concerned that the "eat first, pay later" policy may make some students "accustomed" to eating in the cafeteria, "giving IOUs" and "taking credit", and using the living expenses given by parents for other expenses, which is not conducive to cultivating students' good consumption habits. In this regard, school canteens may further improve the management of "eat first, pay later", such as conducting statistics on students' "eat first, pay later" situations, whether it is occasional "eat first, pay later" or frequent, long-term "eat first, pay later". For students who frequently and long-term "eat first, pay later", it is necessary to further understand their family's financial situation. If the "eat first, pay later" policy is due to financial difficulties in the family, the school should provide them with financial assistance and waive the outstanding meal expenses; If it is due to students' lack of financial planning and excessive consumption or overconsumption in other aspects, it is necessary to strengthen financial education for students and guide them to consume reasonably. From this perspective, "eat first, pay later" is not only a humane service provided by schools to students, but also a "window" for financial education for students. The management and service of students in universities should be based on educating students, achieving both management and service oriented education. (New Society)
