Chapter 138 The much-anticipated Keio Shonan Campus
Korean universities have set clear goals to train managers who will be the directors of the Asian headquarters of global companies and leaders who will work in international organizations.But what about Japanese universities?
Recently, there was such a piece of news that because of the strong international competitiveness of the University of Tokyo, 15 large companies such as Toyota, Mitsubishi, and Tokyo UFJ Bank decided to donate part of their proceeds to the University of Tokyo and use this part of the fund as a fund from all over the world. scholarship for outstanding international students.
When I heard the news, I was like "now it's finally time to start doing this".The scholarship itself is good, but what I want to say is, before that, is Japan ready to attract international students with education courses and career plans after graduation?
It can be said that the current Japanese university education can never cultivate international talents.What's more, Japan's current universities do not implement leadership education, focus on theory, and do not have the awareness of vocational training for students.
Recently, there has finally been an awakening. Waseda University established the International Quality College and started teaching in English; Ritsumeikan University actively accepted international students from Asia and established the International College.However, the actual situation is still not as good as that of Chinese and Korean universities.
To learn from the world, and then to go to the world, to cultivate talents with this goal - people with such a clear direction are.
After reading Fukuzawa's "Outline of Civilization", you will know how globalized he is.Read "Encouraging Learning" again, and you will know that Fukuzawa will grow up every time he goes abroad, and there are also times when he is very impatient.
Not only Fukuzawa, but the leaders of the Meiji era clearly saw Japan's shortcomings.In order to make up for this deficiency, they recruited a large number of talents from abroad and created universities in imitation of the West.
It didn't take long, though, for Japan to want to do everything itself, building an "introverted empire" that had nothing left after WWII.Therefore, Japan after the war had to go back to the original point, recruit foreign talents, introduce foreign technology, and cooperate with foreign countries.
For a long time, Japan has made progress while learning from foreign countries, but why is it not doing so now?It is really incomprehensible, why have the lessons of history been forgotten?
When Keio University established the Shonan Fujisawa campus and set up the School of Comprehensive Policy and the School of Environmental Information, the lessons of history played a role. At least at that time they had a clear goal of "cultivating Japan's Bill Gates".
It is correct to set such a clear goal, but recently it seems that this school has become a pure "top school", and there is no such thing as hiring excellent professors from all over the world, thoroughly implementing English education, or planning a one-year study abroad program. Plans wait for such a bold move.Although there seem to be some authoritative professors in the IT field, there have been no Japanese who can lead the IT field in business.
Even so, the special treatment that companies give to graduates of the Fujisawa campus may be regarded as a major success for Keio's "career."
