Kuo, President of City University of Hong Kong: Mainland basic computer education is useless

Mainland China Computer Education is perhaps useless. "Kuo, hands folded, fingers twisted tight, giving a long sigh, told reporters," China should not only become the Institute, but rather to Intel, Microsoft to access and learn. "

September 8, who have both the American Academy of Engineering, the title of foreign academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, is the president of the City University of Hong Kong International Electrical and Electronics Engineers Lifetime Achievement Award winner, sigh with computer education in the Chinese Mainland.

A review of education in the United States, China, Hong Kong, Looking forward to the Mainland, Kuo, said, "Learning should adhere to the principle of education, the Chinese saying" Learning "Mainland students only the achievements attaches great importance to, I do not know How to find a road belonging to mainland students.

"Learning", Kuo, consider themselves to adhere to the two decades of theory and educational philosophy. November 2008, Way Kuo said in a speech at the inauguration of the City University of Hong Kong, about sixty years ago, the United States, a prominent educator Hutchins said: freedom is to explore, discuss, teach in the University. Without which Yan memory. Six decades the world situation changes, recently CityU's educational mission is to "respond to the needs of society, and to provide professional education and research.

Computer News: university in the United States has done for many years professor, is also a professor at City University of Hong mainland education is said to no stranger, you see how computer education in Mainland China?

Guo bit: whether it is in the United States, Hong Kong, I have respected a concept, it is the old Chinese saying "Learning". It is not too deep understanding of view, Mainland computer education in addition to the emphasis on achievements and has been completely outdated language programming, left me with the impression that is "not very practical" a serious point to say, it is useless.

Why? Mainland enterprises friends often tell me, Mainland students of the Department of Computer Science, Let's talk about the C + + language theory and technology to a set but there is much difference, but the actual work requirements, and even less innovation. Some company CEOs privately told me, do not like computer science graduate student, useless because recruiting, the school learned far too far away from the social requirements, which is computer science graduate students in recent years, many can not find work reasons.
