2. University for the Aged
The university for the aged is a classroom for the elderly to update their knowledge, a place for keeping fit and nourishing their hearts, a garden for happy entertainment, a platform for making friends and a base for intellectual development.
With the increase of the elderly population in China, universities for the elderly rose in many places in China in 1980s. 1973, the world's first university for the aged was established in France.
The university for the aged has a very flexible way of running a school, which includes centralized teaching in a fixed place and remote teaching. The teaching content of the university for the aged is very rich, mainly including health preservation, cooking, art and so on.
The role of universities for the aged:
1, promoting people's all-round development
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 government and school leaders attach great importance to the work of the elderly.
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".
2. Increase knowledge, enrich life, cultivate sentiment and promote health.
The university for the aged faces the elderly group, but the education for the elderly 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 can learn, have fun and be active in their old age.
