🎓 China Replaces Humanities Programs with AI Majors
As part of a large-scale restructuring of higher education, China has closed or suspended 12,200 undergraduate programs. Instead of humanities and management disciplines, the state is introducing more than 10,200 new programs in the fields of AI, robotics, and semiconductor engineering to combat unemployment and achieve technological sovereignty.
🌍 State management of education is becoming a tool for direct human capital planning to meet the needs of Industry 4.0, accelerating innovation in critical sectors.
👤 The reform is radically changing the structure of the labor market, prioritizing engineering and AI skills over classical humanities education.
