Unique talent will be cherished. Yuanfudao set up a 100 million yuan fund to excavate talented young people.
Today, the world is facing great changes that have not happened in a century, and the fourth Industrial Revolution is roaring along, which brings many opportunities as well as challenges. Artificial intelligence, big data, quantum computing, the Internet of things, nanotechnology, blockchain, and so on, have changed the definition of national development resources and driving force in all aspects. In the era of great changes, it is time for Chinese young people to stand up and answer "Qian Xuesen's question".
Liu Jia, chairman of the Professional Committee of gifted talents of the China Talent Research Association and head of the Department of Psychology of Tsinghua University, said that it is urgent to increase the exploration and training of "gifted teenagers" and to establish a supporting mechanism. Because we need key talents who can really promote the progress of the whole society and civilization, the cultivation of these talents must be promoted jointly by the whole society, including the strength of the people.
Since 2009, the Ministry of Education has successively implemented the Talent Program for Middle School students, the Foundation Plan and the Top-notch Student training Plan for basic disciplines to launch the national strategic action for training top-notch students in basic disciplines. at present, relying on 288 training bases for top-notch students in basic disciplines in 77 high-level universities, the Ministry of Education has attracted more than 30,000 outstanding students to join the basic disciplines, forming a "echelon network" of top-notch talents in basic disciplines.
In addition to top-level design, social resources are also being introduced in the exploration and training of super-talented teenagers. At present, Yuanfudao is also helping to cultivate top-notch innovative talents. Yuanfudao has set up a competition Qiangji center to inspire talented teenagers to guide a new generation of teenagers. Here, children's interests are respected and critical and creative thinking is being stimulated.
Zhu Bin, director of the Qiangji Center, has led Yuanfudao's students to achieve very excellent results in international competitions in mathematics, physics, biology, and other international competitions. He has been the coach of the national team of the International Biological Olympiad for nine years in a row, and his team has won the first place in the world six times. The trainees who have received coaching have won a total of 29 gold medals and 3 silvers.
At the same time, the head of Yuanfudao Institute of Education recently announced a strategic cooperation with the gifted Professional Committee of the China Talent Research Association: the two sides will jointly conduct in-depth research and exploration on brain science and gifted children in the future. In order to discover talented young people more accurately and quickly, the gifted Talent Professional Committee of the China Talent Research Association will launch the "gifted Children Test system" in the future. Yuanfudao will provide technical services and platforms for the system.
In addition to reaching strategic cooperation with the gifted professional committee of the China Talent Research Association, Yuanfudao will also invest 100 million yuan to set up a "Youth Scientific Exploration Fund" to work with partners to help train top-notch national innovative talents. In the future, Yuanfudao will continue to explore ways and means that can contribute to the training of potential young people, relying on her own advantages in science and technology and teachers, and link more internal and external resources through the "Youth Science Exploration Fund" to help train top-notch innovative talents in China.
At the scene of the cooperation ceremony, Yuanfudao distributed the "fund" reward to the three champion students for the first time, expressing his encouragement in cash and his determination to continue to invest in the training of talented young people in the future. I hope to encourage more talented young people to participate in scientific research, and at the same time attract more non-governmental forces to join in the cause of cultivating talents in society.
The new era has opened, and the future belongs to the enthusiastic and far-sighted young people. Talented teenagers are seen as only the first step. In the future, their lives will be respected and guided, and their unique talents will be cherished. Zhu Bin, director of the Yuanfudao Center, said: "We will continue to invest in enriching science education resources, promote innovation in AI and science education models, build a science education practice platform for young people, and let more young people who are interested in subject research enjoy matching educational resources."
