Gong Ke, male, Han nationality, Chinese nationality, born in June 1955, native of Xiangtan, Hunan, professor, doctoral supervisor, former vice president of Tsinghua University, former president of Tianjin University, former president of Nankai University, world President, Federation of Engineering Organizations. Foreign academician of the Russian Academy of Aerospace Sciences.
Gong Ke is mainly engaged in research on micro-cell personal mobile communications, digital TV transmission standards, etc., presided over the development of Tsinghua-1 micro satellite, and is engaged in research on satellite communication systems such as deep space communications. As of In March 2017, Gong Ke published more than 100 academic papers.
In March 2012, Gong Ke wrote an article in "China Education News" saying: Talent training is more important than selection. If selecting talents is to select good seeds, and letting good seeds grow better is the real task of universities. The top priority for universities is not how to select talents, or what kind of talents to select, but to explore a set of talent training methods that conform to laws.
When Gong Ke served as the president of Tianjin University, he devoted himself to exploring the creation of "new engineering" and vigorously promoted the "excellent engineer" training program; after taking up his new position at Nankai University in early 2011, he devoted himself to "being fair, capable, and changing with each passing day." The school motto is quite insightful. He said: Universities should be "education-oriented". "The students we train must have the feeling of 'the world is for the public' and the ability to 'serve the society.'" He feels that this seems to be the same as the school. Rankings and subject evaluations seem to have nothing to do with each other, but long-term persistence will form the school's "soft power."
My daughter is an undergraduate student of Nankai Law School who enrolled in 2012 and graduated in 2016. When my daughter first started school, she was in the Yingshuido campus. Later, I returned to the main campus during my junior year, and moved to the new campus in Jinnan during my senior year. Every year I go to Nankai to see my daughter, so I have witnessed the changes in Nankai. I have even more admiration for Principal Gong Ke. So I think it is a pity for Nankai that Principal Gong Ke leaves Nankai, but the history of Nankai will remember Gong Ke’s name, and the students of Nankai will also remember this principal who told the truth and did practical things, just like every Nankai student They will always remember the school motto of "Be fair and capable, and make progress with each passing day".
Famous scholar and educator
An educator with his own clear ideas and advocating the purpose of public education will have a profound impact on Nankai. However, many concepts are subject to difficulties in institutional implementation.
