Entering Shanghai Aviation Service School, students dressed in neat and standardized professional attire, maintained a dignified and natural demeanor, and smiled with confidence and sincerity, creating beautiful campus scenery.
On June 6th, the Etiquette Hall of Shanghai Aviation Service School was officially unveiled, marking a new stage in the school's distinctive etiquette education. At the ceremony, Wu Eryu, the national model worker and the winner of the National May Day Labor Medal, sent a message to the children of the aviation school: "Good etiquette is not only an essential quality of the aviation service industry, but also can improve their own quality."
For many years, Shanghai Aviation Service School has established the educational goals of "form, heart, and character" based on the professional ethics, norms, and job requirements of modern aviation enterprises. It is committed to cultivating quasi civil aviation personnel with "etiquette" in service. Over the years, etiquette education has become a resounding business card of "three education".
Etiquette education has become a compulsory course for students
The first grade emphasizes the training of image temperament, which meets the requirements of "courteous manners, generous posture, boys standing tall, girls graceful"; the second grade focuses on mentality and character training to build a sunny, confident, cheerful and warm-hearted waiter quality; the third grade emphasizes the cultivation of personality and spirit, and sets up the sense of gratitude and fraternity to return to the society, so that graduates know how to serve the society, repay their parents, and be grateful to the school. In the aviation service school, etiquette education has been written into the curriculum and become a "compulsory course" for all majors, and the first to third grades have their own emphasis, thus building a long-term mechanism of etiquette education. The school also has a special etiquette studio and a special etiquette teaching team, and Wu Eryu is invited to set up "Shanghai Aviation Service School Wueryu Service Law training Base". Drawing on the experience of "smile Service Law", "Family Service Law" and "Emergency treatment Law" created by Wu Eryu, the school has developed and published many school-based teaching materials, such as "Etiquette Handbook", "Service Etiquette" and so on. While the leading and guiding role of model workers helps schools to improve their students' temperament, campus culture is also taking shape quietly.
When students graduate and leave the campus, they have a brand new look: elegant, courteous, humble, and wise. Employers are also very satisfied: the graduates here are polite, understand etiquette, and have a seamless connection between campus education and employment standards. Wu Eryu said, "In recent years, I have been a judge of the 'Starlight Plan' vocational college skills competition and have found that the gap between the etiquette norms exhibited by children and the 'standards' we need for employment, whether it is hairstyle norms, clothing standards, or interpersonal skills, has become smaller and smaller."
Wang Fengjuan, Secretary of the Party Branch and President of Shanghai Aviation Service School, introduced that the school has been carrying out etiquette education for more than 20 years. From the initial creation of basic courses to the higher requirements of aviation enterprises for talents in the new era, it has opened professional classrooms such as social group courses and campus festivals, as well as tea art training rooms and coffee culture experience rooms. Multiple measures have been taken to empower students with strong skills, focus on individual development, and polish the "business card" of etiquette education.
The flower of etiquette bears the fruit of moral education
Ge Tiantian is a 17th generation graduate of the school. During his time at school, he served as the president of the Cultural Society and a model of etiquette. After obtaining the flight attendant major at Shanghai University of Engineering and Technology, Ge Tiantian joined the Shanghai Cabin Department of China Eastern Airlines. Just one year after taking office, he has been selected as a member of the China Eastern Airlines Lingyan Brand Demonstration Group, a member of the important guarantee chartered flight crew, a member of the ingenious cabin talent pool, a chief steward, and a exemplary individual in the service work of China Eastern Airlines Group in 2022, successfully ensuring the delivery ceremony of the world's first domestic large aircraft of C919 and the guidance of important guests in front of the C919 commercial first flight platform. The school etiquette hall has officially opened, and Ge Tiantian specially returned to his alma mater to participate in activities. She was grateful for the etiquette learning at the school, saying, "I am particularly grateful for my growth at the aviation school and the training I gained from participating in etiquette education activities, which allowed me to find employment smoothly and laid a solid foundation for my future development."
Etiquette education has entered the classroom and curriculum, achieving fruitful results: the school has participated in the etiquette service of the Shanghai Two Sessions for 17 consecutive years; As the only vocational school team participating in the Yangtze River Delta Etiquette Competition, it has won second prize or above for eight consecutive years.
More than 20 years of etiquette education have also become an effective means of moral education in schools. While enhancing personal qualities, it also establishes a civilized and upward school atmosphere for the school. The school has become the only vocational school in Pudong New Area that has been awarded the title of "City Civilized Campus", maintaining a record of zero criminal offenses and zero safety accidents for so many years.
"Etiquette education is a business card of our school, and we hope that students who hold this card can confidently and generously step out of the school gate and become talents welcomed by enterprises and society," said Wang Fengjuan.
