全國唯一小龍蝦專業首批招生86人
A vocational school in Hubei Province is now offering the country's first degree in "crayfish studies" to train students in an important local industry.
日前,湖北省一所職業學校開設了國內首個“小龍蝦”專業,以此在這項當地最重要的產業上培訓學生。Jianghan Art Vocational College's "School of Crawfish" in Qianjiang has so far enrolled 86 students for three crawfish-related courses, the Beijing News reported.
據《新京報》報道,潛江市江漢藝術職業學院“龍蝦學院”目前已招收了86名學生,進行三個龍蝦相關的課程學習。Starting September 1, the two-year programs promise coursework in crawfish farming, cooking, marketing and catering management, as well as job placement.
從9月1日開始,這項爲期兩年的項目承諾進行小龍蝦養殖、烹飪、市場營銷和餐飲管理方面的職業培訓以及就業安置。
"The crawfish industry is ... worth billions of yuan, but we are yet to see an institution specializing in training," Xia Zhongzhi, a recruitment officer at the college, told the paper.
該校招生部工作人員夏忠志向該報透露:“小龍蝦產業價值數十億,但是至今還沒有一家專業從事培訓的機構。”The major didn't seem to make the grade among netizens. "The students will soon regret their decision," wrote Sina Weibo user "minzhugg."
不過,這個專業似乎在網友當中不太受認可。新浪微博用戶“minzhugg”寫道:“這些學生很快就會後悔自己的決定。”The sentiment was echoed by Chu Zhaohui, a researcher at the National Institute of Education Sciences. "We need to evaluate carefully whether it's necessary for the industry before creating a new major," Chu told the newspaper.
國家教育科學研究院研究員儲朝暉也贊同這個觀點。他在接受《新京報》採訪時表示:“在開設這個新專業前,我們應當詳細評估它對於這個產業來說是否必要。”Valued at 146.6 billion yuan ($21.58 billion), the industry employs over 5 million people, according to data from the Ministry of Agriculture released in June, Caixin reported.
據財新網報道,根據農業部6月份公佈的數據顯示,小龍蝦產業當前價值約爲1466億元(約合215.8億美元),爲500萬人提供了就業崗位。
