On May 13, it was learned from the Sinopec News Office that recently, Sinopec's "Academicians into the Classroom" activity was held in Yuexi, Anhui Province, and He Mingyuan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, gave on-site lectures to Lianyun Petrochemical junior high school students, and more than 17,000 students from 31 schools in Yuexi County watched it online.
The event was hosted by Sinopec Corporation and undertaken by Sinopec Research Institute of Petrochemical Science and the National Key Laboratory of Petrochemical Molecular Transformation and Reaction Engineering. Academician He Mingyuan has long been engaged in the research of oil refining chemical process and catalytic materials. In the class, Academician He started from the major issues related to the future of human destiny, and explained in simple terms the importance of carbon energy to the development of human society and the mainland, and how to achieve the "double carbon" goal through "learning, questioning, thinking, discernment, and action". In addition, in this activity, teachers from the "sister" schools, Beijing No.101 PetroChina Branch and Lianyun Petrochemical Junior High School, also taught Chinese and mathematics courses to students around a curriculum theme through the method of "same class heterogeneity".
The activity of "Academicians in the Classroom" is a vivid practice of Sinopec to give full play to its scientific and technological advantages, explore practical education assistance and popularize science. The purpose of the activity is to stimulate students' interest in science and enhance their sense of innovation through close contact with academicians, so as to guide them to be academicians, to serve the country, and to make greater contributions to the country and hometown. Previously, the event successfully entered Luxi County, Hunan Province and was widely praised.
Yuexi County, Anhui Province is a national demonstration county for rural revitalization and a designated county for rural revitalization of Sinopec. Since the stage of rural revitalization, Sinopec has invested 18.12 million yuan in education assistance funds to help 7 petrochemical schools in pairs, so that the software and hardware of these schools, campus construction, characteristic creation, teacher training, etc., have been improved in an all-round way.
Supporting the will and wisdom should be supported to run the schools at the doorsteps of the peasants. Over the years, Sinopec has always attached great importance to education assistance, and during the period of poverty alleviation, Sinopec invested more than 300 million yuan to build nearly 300 schools to help children in mountainous areas go to school. Since the implementation of the Rural Revitalization Strategy, Sinopec has vigorously carried out collectivized three-dimensional education assistance, with the goal of running schools at the doorstep of farmers, and striving to ensure that children in poverty alleviation areas can enjoy better education. Since September 2021, Sinopec has selected 59 primary and secondary schools as key schools in 9 counties, ethnic minority areas in western China, and old revolutionary areas, and arranged for 65 directly affiliated units within the group to carry out paired assistance, so that rural children can go to school and learn well.
