Posted by admin on June 1, 2010 2 comments

This year’s U.S. college admission has already been finalized, the universities were also announced its own record low admission rate (students admitted and the proportion of all applicants). Harvard won the ringleader of the remains, the acceptance rate decreased from 7% last year, 0.1 percentage points, only 6.9%, which means that 100 students had very good years, only less than seven lucky children to enter Harvard.

   Follow the footsteps of Harvard were Stanford University, Yale University and Princeton University, they are less than 9% acceptance rate. These schools, only Yale University had the number of applicants this year, less than 0.5% of the reduction, other schools are growing dramatically. In recent years, the number of applicants in China were to multiply the top universities in the United States to increase the acceptance rate is very important reason for reduced year by year. Each school admissions in each country are essentially fixed, in China each year for those of  add  also directly create internal applications intensifying competition, I am sure that in these schools in China, the absolute admission rate of the data is more cruel than the following!

Note: The number of people in mainland China, taking China refers only to pure background, does not include other country of nationality or, in other countries, the Chinese high school students. Admission statistics on the number of Chinese students from different schools between the internal statistics, and can not guarantee completely accurate, but can generally understand the situation of the school enrollment in China.

Foreign principal dialogue: first-class university when will “Made in China”

Posted by admin on May 4, 2010 Comments Off

Chinese universities from world-class universities in the end there is much difference? At Yale, Oxford, Cambridge, Stanford University them abroad top the eyes of most Chinese universities need to change that? How to answer, “Qian of the question,” Raise High to college? Held yesterday in Nanjing Foreign University Presidents Forum, from 11 countries and regions, 20 world-renowned university presidents, and university presidents gather together 121 domestic. Reporters interviewed the five famous university president, asking them to feel the pulse of China’s universities, “prick”, a number of principal prior agreement that can be done, the Chinese University of absolute world-class universities, but also take some time, the earliest estimates need 20 years.

World-class university with three main criteria: First, are engaged in research work in internationally renowned art professor; Second, a large number of human civilization and socio-economic development affect the results; three is to train a large number of great contributions to human civilization to the excellent students.

World-class university must have the four “first class”: a decade has served as president of Harvard University’s Professor Lu Dengting On the concept of leading universities, with four “first class” to be outlined: first-class facilities, first-class faculty, excellent students , first-class evaluation.

“World-class university” of course one with all the halo, but the “first-class university,” a unique social prestige and academic reputation, require long-term development, accumulation, and culture, not be done overnight, but not drilling. School compared to schools such as Oxford, for hundreds of years, Chinese universities also require long-term accumulation. Development of higher education should be the first dedicated to research results into productivity, and to develop “marketable” talent, for the social and economic development, to overcome impulsive mentality, the mentality of utilitarian, pragmatic, step by step.

Comparison between the Chinese and foreign universities: Chinese University and foreign universities in the end there is a large gap between what

Teaching methods

China:

Curriculum in order to lecture-style based, while the group discussions very little.

China is a rote pattern of teaching, students always passive listener, the recipient, they focus on the mastery of knowledge points, do not develop independent and critical thinking ability.

West: Oxford, Cambridge mentor system, require students to conduct their own argument, debate. The American model is that some interactive discussion, or a small class, they will challenge each other, rather than blindly accept the instructor’s point of view.

Learning

China:

Students lack of independent thinking and creative thinking, lack the courage to challenge academic authority.

West: self-study, self-motivation and challenge teachers to challenge the authority

Professional choice

China:

College students the time premature choice of profession, the lack of interdisciplinary breadth

West: the United States in the first two years of undergraduate students will try a variety of disciplines, and then will choose a major subject. Because the contact by multiple disciplines, have different perspectives, so that they have the ability to creative ways to solve new problems.

Quality Construction

China:

University pay more attention to the expansion of the number of students at the expense of quality construction

West: emphasis on quality construction

Premier Wen said: “Some of the University of utilitarian, everything, and money linked to, this is a terrible problem.” He also pointed out that: “a good university, is to have its own unique soul, which is independent thinking, free expression. Thousand side, stereotyped, not a world class university. universities must have autonomy in running. “listening to the speeches, he said to everyone:” We must be determined to accelerate the construction of world-class university. “slight pause about Premier Wen raised voice, tone, said firmly: “China must be able to appear world-class university.”

China to build first-class university?

College has always been seen as carrying the spirit of innovation to. In recent years, top universities are striving for world-class research university. By 2008, China became the world’s largest Ph.D. granting countries. However, innovation in comparison with some foreign universities, we must do more to change and improve. University of innovation and innovation education system needs changed? Experts and scholars to their own experience and thinking gives some analysis.

University of Cambridge

School Motto: Cambridge – the ideal place to learn knowledge

17 to 18 a full two centuries, Cambridge no longer able to build a new college. But the history of Cambridge University the most important change is the status of natural science. Back in the late 16th century, the British Natural materialism and the true ancestor of modern experimental Bacon, first studying at Trinity College, Cambridge, and then established his own laboratory, and later served as Minister of the Royal Schools of education should be taught advocate encyclopedic knowledge, constraints thinking against scholasticism, advocate the use of rational thinking to organize experience in materials, opposed to follow.

School Motto and China are similar to large schools of Western thought embodied in the Institute focused on the pursuit of truth and serve the community on these two points, but the deeper colors thicker than the Chinese. This is precisely the lack of Chinese College training places, which also reflects on the collective Chinese Universities Deviation.
