Chapter 113 What should be taught are the "three artifacts" and leadership

This kind of national university that has lost its basic role should have been reformed or abolished, but due to the resistance of the bureaucrats, the local national university has been put on the brand of "independent administrative legal person" and continues to exist without changing the medicine. Although it is an independent legal person, the national university cannot support itself financially.In fact, due to the declining birth rate and the departure of students, every national school is very difficult to operate, and if it continues like this, it will collapse sooner or later.When it is about to collapse, these universities may ask the state for subsidies on the grounds that "private schools all have grants, and our independent legal person also needs grants."

However, this is not allowed.I think it is time to abolish local national universities that no longer exist, and tell them, "If you want to stay as a private university, please keep working hard. If you don't have students, don't do it." How, then, can Japanese universities be preserved?How can we recruit students? The key lies in what I just said, to seriously teach students "how to make a living". To achieve this goal, there must be talents who can teach the corresponding knowledge, and it is necessary to carry out the world's most high-end education. I have said before that there are "three artifacts" in this "way of making a living", that is "English", "finance" and "IT" (including the theory and problem-solving methods).Students must polish these three artifacts to shine in their college days.

Therefore, if a university does not have these three abilities to cultivate students at the same time, there is no meaning for its existence. If there is an additional point, it is "leadership". In the European Union, where countries, ethnic groups, and languages ​​are integrated, only graduates from prestigious universities cannot be hired. The job interview starts with the question "Do you have any special experience that is not listed on your resume?" What you need to evaluate at this time is your leadership, such as becoming the leader in the second year after joining the Boy Scouts, serving as the minister of the baseball department and raising funds, making proposals and practices for NPOs (non-profit organizations), etc. leadership.In addition to qualification certificates and other things, you also need to tell 5 stories that can reflect your leadership ability (happened before you are 22 years old), otherwise you will not be hired by a famous European company.As the saying goes, the world is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change. People with leadership qualifications can do some "extraordinary" things in various aspects when they are young. These things often deviate from the track designed for them by their parents and schools in advance.

Leadership skills are highly valued in many global corporations. However, except for some companies, most companies in Japan recruit fresh graduates by "grabbing eyebrows and beards", and the scale is also very large, and then train the hired graduates within the company.Therefore, a new employee who graduated from a first-class university will calmly say to everyone, "I am a person with no characteristics, but I am confident that I can get along well with everyone", and the company also welcomes this.Then, through internal training, the company trains them into people who can complete their own work.

This "predetermined harmony" is the biggest flaw in Japanese education, and an educational system that cultivates talents with the "three artifacts" and leadership abilities should be established without hesitation.
