What do the elderly go to college for?

Why are so many elderly people rushing to attend colleges for the elderly?

1. Want to seek new knowledge. Nowadays, material life is becoming increasingly abundant, and the elderly's demand for spiritual culture is also getting stronger and stronger. The learning attitude of "live until you are old and learn", and the spirit of "an old man is brave but aims for a thousand miles" have inspired many old people to enter the classroom to learn painting, vocal music, photography, practice English, calligraphy, yoga... Recharge and refuel your life in your later years.

2. Want to fulfill old dreams. When they were young, they were either busy at work or worrying about food and drink for their family. Some people left behind their hobbies and interests, and it was inevitable that they would feel regretful. After retiring, I relieved myself of the burdens of career and family, picked up my past thoughts, and fulfilled my dream of becoming a painter and photographer in the classroom of the University for the Elderly.

3. Looking for sustenance. They were used to being busy in the past, but suddenly they are free. Many elderly people have lost their social circle. In addition, they live in two places with their children. It is inevitable that their lives will be monotonous and they will feel disappointed. After attending a senior college, a group of "old classmates" who have the same hobbies and speak the same language get together and accompany each other to make friends and re-establish a circle of friends, which gives their souls a place to rest.

It seems that senior universities can indeed meet the retirement needs of many people. The elderly are vying to go to school. We must face up to this desire, help the elderly get more opportunities for re-education, and be more considerate for them.

More efforts will be made in the supply of educational resources. Schools at all levels and types can try to open activity venues, libraries, etc. to organized elderly groups and invite the elderly into campus; community education may also be combined with elderly education to open up teaching content and teaching staff.

There are many interesting things about universities for the elderly

I have a friend who took his mother to register for a class at a university for the elderly last month.

Children: "Hey! Calligraphy class, this is good, it cultivates sentiments, sign up! There is also an electronic piano class. By the way, teacher, I suggest that your school open another advanced mathematics class.

”

My mother’s voice at the time: Are you a devil...

What can parents learn in a senior college? Of course it can’t be the language we learned when we were students. Mathematics/Biology/Politics and History, oh no, there are still English classes at senior universities, and the learning materials are quite user-friendly, super down-to-earth Chinese transliteration:

You look so beautiful
