Promote the Educational Power Through the Demographic Dividend:the Logic and Path of University Education Reform in the Aging Era
Population is the foundation of education,and education affects population reproduction.The two restrict each other and circulate forward.In 2019,the higher education gross enrollment rate exceeded 50%in China and has continued to rise in recent years.At the same time,the proportion of the elderly population continues to increase,and the popularization of higher education coincides with the aging of the population structure.As the birth rate drops sharply and newborns fall below the number of college enrollments,higher education will not only be entirely popularized,but will also face severe challenges such as a sudden drop in student sources,resource mismatch,and structural imbalance.Guided by the two national strategies of"actively responding to population aging"and strengthening the country through education,Chinese universities must reflect on the meritocracy trap of the current education system,clarify the development logic from demographic dividend to talent dividend,and clarify the value of higher education in the new era.Thus,it is essential to build a multi-dimensional collaborative education system,a scientific and long-term mechanism for cultivating top-notch innovative talents,a dynamically integrated application skills talent training model,and a lifelong development learning platform for siluer age talents.And ultimately,the strategic goal of building an educational power through talent dividends will be achieved.
