Abstract:

With the changing primary contradictions in China, the importance of the third distribution is increasingly highlighted, posing urgent requirements for the high-quality development of charity. However, from the current state of the charity industry, existing talent quantity, value concepts, capabilities, professional certification, and institutional guarantees are all unable to meet the industry’s developmental needs. Therefore, the sustainable development of charity requires support from charity education. Universities should seize the opportunity of China’s new liberal arts construction and establish a disciplinary system for charity education. Specific approaches include defining the fundamental scope of the discipline, establishing a cross-disciplinary professional curriculum, building a localized knowledge system, assembling a more diverse teaching faculty, creating practical training bases, and advocating for relevant professional certifications and policy support. Through these measures, the development of charity education in China can be further improved and the charity sector can move towards higher quality development.

Key words: charity education, discipline system, curriculum design, talent cultivation
