在浙东宁波市西门望春桥畔,闪烁着一颗耀眼的校办企业新星——宁波文教科技器材厂。她的产品——“七色花”系列学生手工劳动制作材料在28个省走俏,受到1000多万小朋友的青睐,工厂的经济和社会效益日益增长。“办厂为教育,旨在育新人”,这是厂长徐万茂办厂的立足点,也是宁波文教科技器材厂能发展和崛起的秘诀。我国的基础教育历来只重书本知识的传授,而忽视劳动技能教育。然而,当时作为一位农民企业家,鄞县云洲乡校办竹编厂厂长的徐万茂,却从1981年就开始组织人员研制小学生手工制作材料。他认为,要提高我国学生的动手创造能力,就必须从中小学抓起。 At the Wangchun Bridge in Ximen, Ningbo, east of Zhejiang, there is a dazzling new star of the school-run enterprise, Ningbo Culture, Education and Technology Equipment Factory. Her products, the “Qihuahua” series of students’ manual labor production materials are popular in 28 provinces and are favored by more than 10 million children. The economic and social benefits of the factory are growing. “To set up a factory for education aims at cultivating new people.” This is the starting point for director Xu Wanmao to set up his factory and is also the secret of the development and rise of Ningbo Culture, Education and Technology Equipment Factory. The basic education in our country always focuses on the teaching of book knowledge, but neglects the labor skill education. However, at the time, as a farmer entrepreneur, Xu Wanmao, the director of the Zhubian Factory of Yunzhou Township, Jixian County, began organizing personnel to develop hand-made materials for primary school students since 1981. He believes that in order to improve the creative skills of our students, we must start from primary and secondary schools.
