Core Viewpoint - The recent adjustments in higher education professional settings reflect a strong alignment with national strategic needs and market demands, indicating a proactive response from the education system to the evolving economic landscape [1][2]. Group 1: Professional Adjustments - A total of 3,424 professional points were newly added, revoked, or adjusted in the 2024 academic year, with 29 new majors introduced, marking an unprecedented level of adjustment [1]. - The Ministry of Education has established a "green channel" for the setting of "strategically needed majors," facilitating the rapid establishment of programs in key areas [1][2]. Group 2: Strategic and Market Orientation - New majors such as Low Altitude Technology and Engineering directly respond to national strategies like the development of general aviation and low-altitude economy, while others like Carbon Neutrality Science and Engineering align with the dual carbon goals [2]. - The explosive growth of artificial intelligence-related majors, with 41 new programs added in "Double First-Class" universities over the past five years, highlights the close connection between professional settings and job market demands, as evidenced by a 33.4% year-on-year increase in job seekers in the AI sector for spring 2025 [2]. Group 3: Impact on Traditional Majors - Some traditional liberal arts majors have been revoked due to a disconnect with market demand, but structural optimization is being pursued, as seen with the introduction of programs like "Computational Finance" and "Big Data Management and Applications" [3]. - The wave of professional adjustments is expected to blur disciplinary boundaries, leading to a demand for a more inclusive and flexible interdisciplinary talent cultivation system [3]. Group 4: Adaptation Challenges - Higher education institutions need to clarify their educational positioning and avoid blindly following trends in professional settings, focusing instead on their strengths and unique characteristics [4]. - Students and their families should establish a rational decision-making framework, prioritizing personal interests, abilities, and career planning over the pursuit of currently popular majors [4].
