On the Necessity of Integrating the “Current Affairs and Policies” Course into Higher Education in the Context of Globalization

文章以全球化为背景，探讨“时事与政策”课程融入高等教育的多方面情况。全球化自新航路开辟后逐步形成，其具有经济一体化、信息即时传播、文化融合与冲突、国际问题显著、人才流动国际化等特征，给高等教育带来机遇与挑战。时事是全球多领域大事，政策是行动指南，二者关联紧密。该课程融入高等教育契合人才培养目标，可培养学生综合能力与素养；适应社会发展需求，帮助学生把握新兴产业与国际合作机遇；提升教育质量与内涵，丰富课程、优化结构并培养批判性思维，对我国高等教育发展意义重大，利于推动国家现代化建设，并在全球彰显影响力。
Against the backdrop of globalization, this paper explores various aspects of integrating the “Current Affairs and Policies” course into higher education. Since the opening of the New Maritime Routes, globalization has gradually taken shape, characterized by economic integration, instant information dissemination, cultural integration and conflicts, prominent international issues, and the internationalization of talent flow. It has brought both opportunities and challenges to higher education. Current affairs refer to major events in multiple global fields, while policies are action guidelines, and the two are closely related. The integration of this course into higher education aligns with the goal of talent cultivation, helping to develop students’ comprehensive abilities and qualities. It also meets the needs of social development, enabling students to seize opportunities in emerging industries and international cooperation. Moreover, it enhances the quality and connotation of education, enriches courses, optimizes the curriculum structure, and cultivates critical thinking. In conclusion, this integration is of great significance for the development of China’s higher education and is conducive to promoting the country’s modernization drive and demonstrating its influence globally.
