Group 1 - The Ministry of Education has launched a "Double Thousand" plan to enhance college students' employability by establishing 1,000 micro-specialties or professional course clusters and 1,000 vocational training courses nationwide [2] - Micro-specialties differ from traditional majors and are designed to provide a set of core courses around specific academic fields or core competencies, allowing students to broaden their knowledge and improve their employability [2][3] - The implementation of micro-specialties allows for greater flexibility in course content and teaching methods, addressing issues such as narrow traditional majors and outdated course settings, thus promoting interdisciplinary talent development [2][3] Group 2 - Micro-specialty courses can be adjusted based on market demand and interdisciplinary needs, with shorter training periods, making them easier to implement alongside traditional majors [3] - There are challenges in ensuring broader student participation in micro-specialties and maintaining course quality, which requires universities to clarify their educational positioning and avoid turning micro-specialties into mere exam preparation courses [3][4] - The initiative is part of a broader effort to reform and innovate higher education, aiming to integrate cross-disciplinary course modules into all professional curricula, thereby enhancing students' learning interests and employability [4]
