“China is not a world-class university.” 12 On the evening, a guest of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, “the scientific spirit and practice of” former president of Peking University seminar, Xu Zhihong says Chinese Academy of Sciences (April 15, “the Yangtze River Daily”).
From the time I was in college, advocacy column on the close to “build a world-class university,” the slogan, then take a lot of college, I discovered that the consensus on this issue are surprisingly identical. Time flies, evaluation of higher education in China, we often hear, “achieved a historic leap” and other value judgments, how to, surprisingly, “no world-class universities?”
This sounded quite entangled people, but look at the past few years at various universities in China in the global list, in addition to the University of Hong Kong still has a place, the location of the mainland universities have become really quite “modest.”
Not long ago, American “Ivy League” universities of Yale, Richard Levin’s visit to London in the British media on China to “increase investment in education to build a world-class university” policy to comment Mr. Levin said very politely, but China will not only have the resources to achieve this goal, according to the current investment, China’s top universities in 25 years will be able to catch up with U.S. “Ivy League” schools and Cambridge, UK, Oxford and other world-renowned universities.
I think if the put these words 25 years ago may also apply; 25 years continue to be applicable, and it still a very controversial topic. Dr. Ding Xueliang had a very humorous Chinese university evaluation, “those good Chinese university canteen canteens with foreign universities than run was quite good. Most good university can not be compared with other countries, is leading way, a university management system. ”
These years, we like mad to get to “build a world-class universities,” but who also can not say whether we are far from world-class distance – This is like the East Shi vowed transfiguration “beautiful temperament,” but the real temperament In fact, beauty has never been majoring in the so-called “temperament” This thing.
Yale Harvard considered as a “world class” it? But people never say that they “first class” over and are never to the wall of the “first class” to motivate yourself. As for the world title of “first class”, just because others do the work of the sub better than that: For example, Professor of others concentrate on his scholarship, and others useful research results are clean, people have genuine talent of college students , people’s university spirit or independence and freedom, people’s educational system is dominated by academic … …
And our universities, all these years, because all busy building “world class” everywhere at once, on the “world class” standard of sperm through the quite, but instead from the “first class” farther and farther. This is like the Nobel and Oscar, winning is never more than for the purpose of award-winning works or characters, who claims to sprint or Ones in just a few into the lace.
Whether the British industrial revolution, or the Italian Renaissance, and even the rise of the American Century, have corroborated the importance of a strong state university. For us, even if true in order to “build a world-class university”, or start with qualified college start, the goals were concrete and practical, you know.
