"The 60 to 75-year-old people are still very energetic, and the demand for going to the university for the elderly is also very strong, but the university for the elderly is almost 'difficult to find', I don't know if the relevant units can launch more schools and courses to meet the needs of elderly friends?" In today's online consultation activities for members, Zhu Hong, a member of the Standing Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, connected with the Municipal Education Commission and put forward this issue that she has always been very concerned about.
Zhu Hong said that there are some newly retired friends around her, who have been paying for their families and work all their lives, and only after retirement will they have time to pick up hobbies such as playing the piano and painting to improve themselves and realize a dream of their own. But now many projects that do practical things for the elderly, such as long-term care insurance and embedded pension, are aimed at some elderly people with declining physical function. "Young and old" are in a beautiful stage of life, and there are fewer projects suitable for them, which is worth paying attention to.
In Zhu Hong's view, the proportion of the elderly in Shanghai is very high, but the physical condition of the elderly is different, the needs are also different, she said: "When the government does practical things, in addition to considering the elderly, can it also consider these young elderly people, they can also contribute to society." Just now the Education Commission also answered very well, the demand for universities for the elderly is so strong, perhaps we can use social forces to do more things, such as opening the idle classrooms and facilities in primary and secondary schools to the elderly. Old people can not only dance square dance, but also play the piano, draw some paintings, be happy and fulfilling themselves, and also close the distance with young people. ”
