Why do universities need to offer good labor courses
2025-10-10
Washing vegetables, selecting vegetables, cutting vegetables, stir frying vegetables... Learning cooking from the cafeteria master, or showing off one's skills and sharing one's hometown cuisine with classmates, has become a topic of great interest among students at Chongqing University. In recent years, many universities have placed labor education and various practical courses in a more important position, innovating forms and being close to life, and offering many "internet famous courses" that are highly sought after by students. China has been offering labor education courses since primary school, and college students have already acquired basic labor skills. Why should universities continue to carry out labor education? As the fundamental way of human practice, labor not only creates value, but also enables self-development, which is a lifelong learning course. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized the integration of labor education into the entire process of talent cultivation, connecting all stages of primary, secondary, and tertiary education, as well as families, schools, and all aspects of society. As a university, we must shoulder the responsibility and mission of labor education, provide sufficient and good labor courses, and lay a solid foundation for the growth and development of young students. Labor education is not only about imparting life skills, but also closely related to production practice. Based on their own disciplinary characteristics and curriculum system, universities should establish a training model that integrates professional theory and labor practice to enhance students' practical abilities. Chongqing University fully leverages its engineering advantages, deepens the integration of industry and education, implements the "Top Enterprise" project, and integrates real problems and needs from practice into professional teaching and labor education. By solving practical problems, students gain knowledge, practice skills, and enhance their overall abilities, which helps to strengthen their competitiveness in the job market in the future. Labor education not only enhances practical abilities, but also has the effect of cultivating morality, consolidating the heart, and forging the soul. During winter and summer vacations, various practical activities such as returning home, assisting agriculture, and conducting research are also important components of labor education. Participating in these activities helps cultivate students' love for their hometown and motherland, as well as cultivate their sense of responsibility and sense of responsibility. While organizing students to participate in traditional agricultural assistance activities, Chongqing University encourages them to live stream on short video platforms to help fellow villagers sell goods. This not only enhances students' new skills, but also ignites their enthusiasm for dedicating themselves to rural areas and public welfare. The School of Physics at Chongqing University is building a Physics Exploration Science and Technology Museum, allowing college students to participate in the entire process of content explanation, exhibition hall maintenance, and exhibit design, and cultivating public awareness and dedication in participating in public welfare science popularization. To do a good job in labor education, we must make good use of the social classroom and open up a vast world for students. Creating a labor atmosphere in campus culture can subtly shape students' behavior and character. Chongqing University carried out various forms of labor practice activities such as "Public Welfare Labor Month", "Campus Concentrated Practice Day", "Cooking Contest" and other forms of labor practice activities in combination with time nodes such as Lei Feng Memorial Day, Arbor Day, Labor Day, and International Volunteer Day, to explore and publicize the model worker around teachers and students, especially the deeds of ordinary workers who silently contribute, and establish the glory of labor and create great cultural trends in the campus. Integrating labor education comprehensively into campus cultural construction, creating a strong atmosphere of advocating labor, can effectively guide students to respect and love labor from the depths of their hearts, and enhance their feelings towards the working people. All happiness in the world needs to be created through hard work. Today, with the widespread application of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, the value of labor education has not weakened, but has become more prominent. Closely centering on the fundamental task of building morality and cultivating talents, colleges and universities can better cultivate new people of the era with all-round development of morality, intelligence, physique, beauty and innovation, and better provide talent support for Chinese path to modernization.
