This university offers a new course of home economics. Are there really any college students who will study this major?

Introduction: We often talk about studying in the United States, all of which are aimed at the familiar majors of CS, EE and Business. Because learning from these professional representatives is not only to earn face, but also to earn "Gigi Lai".

High salary, good employment and talents are synonymous with these majors, but there is one major that surprises everyone-housekeeping major.

On July 5, the Ministry of Education suddenly stated that in principle, at least one undergraduate college and several vocational colleges in each province should offer domestic service-related majors.

Domestic workers also need to graduate from undergraduate courses now? What is housekeeping?

1. The Ministry of Education wants to set up a home economics major in colleges and universities.

2065 438+09. 7. 5 Xie Li, Director of the Department of Vocational Education and Adult Education of the Ministry of Education, said: The Ministry of Education attaches great importance to the training of domestic service talents and will focus on improving the professional structure and expanding the training scale.

Guide and encourage colleges and universities to strengthen personnel training. In principle, at least one undergraduate college and several vocational colleges in each province offer domestic service-related majors.

Once the news was launched, a stone stirred up a thousand waves, which triggered a hot discussion among netizens:

Home economics major, many parents listen, isn't this a nanny? The more you live, the more you go backwards. Just graduate from junior high school. Why do you want to go to college?

Home economics focuses on practice. As long as college students go to work in Haidilao for three months every winter and summer vacation, they will be a good housekeeping after graduation.

Nannies will become more and more cultured in the future! I can also help children learn math and English.

You don't have to be in an undergraduate college, you can be in a higher vocational school or a secondary vocational school. To do well, in addition to basic theory, more is practice. It happens that vocational and technical colleges are accompanied by students with strong hands-on ability, and the school is also strict, so students' future employment prospects will be guaranteed.

However, there are also rational voices that domestic economics should be specialized.

It's weird. It's like thinking that a computer is a computer. If you study psychology, you can see through other people's psychology. If you study archaeology, you dig graves every day. Isn't it a trend to specialize in everything? Why is this not as good as others? There is indeed a difference between specialization and non-specialization.

According to CCTV 20 18, with the continuous improvement of people's living standards, more and more families have the financial strength to hire nannies, foster parents and new mothers, and there is indeed a hard demand in this regard. At present, domestic talents are very popular, and the gap is about 30 million.

The market is in short supply, and domestic workers have become sought-after "fragrant cakes". Take Yue Yue as an example. Some people earn 30 thousand a month, far exceeding some office white-collar workers.

However, on holidays such as the Spring Festival, even if the salary is raised, it may not be possible to find suitable domestic workers.

Even many undergraduates who have just graduated from college and entered the society are sighing that they have worked hard to get into college and become unemployed after graduation. Even if they find jobs, their wages are pitifully low, which is not enough for expenses.

So are you really a nanny after graduation as everyone understands? Do you just need more practice to master it?

2. Homemaking major misunderstood by Chinese people.

In 20 17, Zuckerberg, the famous head of Facebook, posted a job advertisement for a nanny who could speak Chinese, with an annual salary of 1 10000 to 13000 US dollars (about 840,000 RMB), with five days off for five-day classes, including full medical insurance, dental and eye care, and all technology companies.

Maria Boralo graduated from Nohrlander College, a British professional home economics school, and is a full-time nanny for Prince George, the son of Prince William and Princess Kate.

During 20 14, traveling with the little British prince George and his parents attracted the attention of the whole world. This super nanny, who is proficient in Taekwondo and can drive at high speed to avoid paparazzi in any weather, is the daughter of a wealthy Spanish businessman.

And her skills are not limited to these. She also studied sociology, psychology, child care, history, literature and education, and also learned domestic skills such as how to change curtain cloth into clothes, how to change diapers for babies, and how to cook delicious food.

In Britain, rich businessmen, celebrities, aristocrats and ordinary families are proud to have a graduate of Nohrlander College.

Nohrlander College, founded in 1892, is known as Harvard University in the field of nanny, and its motto has always been "Love Never Dies".

In the history of more than 100 years, * * * has trained more than 7,000 world-class nannies, because students who graduated from Nohrlander University never worry about unemployment. Besides being a nanny, I can also be qualified as a nursing home manager and a primary school teacher.

Maybe you will be surprised that a nanny can be so versatile?

Because the students of Nohrlander University not only need to study children's health courses, but also need to study many courses including psychology, history, philosophy, social sciences, literature and education, as well as emergency first aid, driving and escape in difficult situations and other protective measures.

And with the development of the times, courses such as self-defense, preventing children from being kidnapped, how to deal with the quarrel between the hostess and the baby, and how to prevent the hostess from sexual harassment have been opened.

Knowing this, do you still think that the major of housekeeping is just a simple mechanical job?

Dr. Dewey, a famous domestic expert, once said: "Compared with a large number of so-called social occupations with bright surfaces and empty contents, domestic economics is a more noble industry. For the United States, no other discipline is more important than the development of domestic science. "

At present, there are nearly a thousand universities in the United States with "Home Economics Departments", and many universities have also set up "Home Economics Colleges" to train graduate students and doctoral students majoring in home economics.

Among them, the famous Massachusetts Institute of Technology opened the major of "Home Economics".

3. The humble history of domestic development

Home economics first started at 1840, and the first monograph on home economics was published in the United States.

From 65438 to 0862, the American government formally passed legislation and provided funds to encourage schools at all levels of society to offer a wide range of home economics education courses, and colleges and universities also set up home economics departments.

At present, the United States has established a master's degree and a doctor's degree in home economics. Patriarchal system has been involved in society, economy, environment, resources, ecology and other aspects.

Home economics has developed into a huge discipline system and a set of academic research system.

/kloc-for more than 0/00 years, the United States has been supporting and attaching importance to the development of home economics education, forming a "development ladder" from preschool, primary school, middle school, various technical and community colleges to colleges, universities, graduate students and doctoral education, aiming at introducing students into the field of home economics education and laying a foundation for future home economics, on-the-job work or further study.

When it comes to the development of domestic economics, there is another topic that cannot be avoided-the Philippines.

The Philippines has always been famous for bananas and maids. Although most Filipino maids graduated from technical secondary schools, many of them are high flyers majoring in education, psychology and financial accounting. Some Filipino maids also hold the qualification certificates of nurses, doctors and teachers at the request of employers.

Most college graduates in the Philippines have to enter the pre-job training stage. Generally divided into skills training and language and culture training.

First of all, you need to receive a 2 16-hour skill training, which includes the use of daily household appliances, tailor's laundry and ironing, cleaning the room, cooking dishes suitable for employers' tastes, and taking care of the elderly and children.

Language and culture training includes Arabic, Hebrew, Mandarin Chinese, Cantonese, five English courses and other courses.

In China, due to various reasons, the development of home economics faces many difficulties, and the lack of home economics education makes quite a few people misunderstand home economics. Some people even think that the major of domestic economics is linked to domestic service companies, and senior domestic servants and foreign-related domestic workers naturally become the employment direction.
