It was reported on December 4 that on December 3, Ma Yun attended the world education forum held in Paris at the invitation of the organization for economic cooperation and development and delivered a speech at the forum. In his speech, he said that the real diploma is a struggle in life.
Ma Yun said that we should change the 'KPI' of education and reform the examination. If the examination is the only 'KPI', education will not be the right direction. I have asked senior high school students from China what are your interests and goals? I just want to go to university, but I don't know what to do.
He also said that the university can not guarantee that you will have a job. Recruiting people in Alibaba does not depend on whether you graduate from Harvard or MIT, but whether you are willing to learn and create. As for the diploma of a famous school, Ma Yun said that it was just the receipt of tuition fees; and the real diploma was earned by oneself in his own life and proved when he was 60 or 70 years old.
At the same time, Ma Yun also said that in the future, teachers and students should learn together. There is no answer in the classroom and they should look for it from life. In the past, teachers know more, but future teachers do not necessarily know more than students. In the past, the classroom gives you the correct answer, but in the future there is no answer. We need to find the answer together.
In addition, Ma Yun once again appeared on the cover of Forbes magazine, and Forbes reporter Justin doebel wrote the cover article "Ma Yun outlines a grand vision for the public welfare foundation under its name".
The article points out that Alibaba started social welfare activities very early. Since 2006, Ali has provided funds and training for about 20000 mothers through the magic bean mother project. In 2010, it announced that it would spend 0.3% of its income on public welfare undertakings every year, and subsequently established Alibaba public welfare foundation.
Ma Yun, on the other hand, established the Mayun public welfare foundation in 2014, which has provided at least US $300 million for various public welfare activities. The foundation projects, from the protection of Xixi Wetland in Hangzhou to the African entrepreneurship foundation, are carrying out various activities at home and abroad.
