The university for the aged is the product of the times and the need to adapt to the aging society, build a lifelong learning society and a harmonious society. With the improvement of living and medical conditions, the pace of aging in China has accelerated, and China's population has entered an aging stage. Facing the aging society, the party, government and school leaders attach great importance to the work of the elderly.
Comrade Hu Jintao once profoundly pointed out that respecting the elderly means respecting the laws of life, social development and history. Over the years, the party and the government have been emphasizing the improvement of the scientific and cultural quality of the whole nation.
The report of the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China regards "forming a learning society with all-people learning and lifelong learning, and promoting people's all-round development" as one of the goals of building a well-off society in an all-round way, and the elderly should continue to achieve the goal of all-round development. University for the aged is an important means to achieve this goal and the most appropriate embodiment of "lifelong learning".
Extended data
Universities for the aged are geared to the elderly. But education for the aged is the youngest education. Therefore, there is still a lack of experience and theoretical summary in running universities for the elderly. We should constantly explore and conscientiously sum up to improve our understanding of the regularity of running universities for the elderly.
Universities for the aged should make full use of various conditions to help their old friends "increase their knowledge, enrich their lives, cultivate their sentiments and improve their health", so that the old people in Tsinghua can learn, have fun and do something.
Run a university for the aged, and engage in teaching and management. We must follow the same educational rules. The most important point is to give full play to the role of students as the main body of teaching. Teachers and managers should not only proceed from the reality of students, but also rely on students to run schools. ?
