The expansion of Shenzhen's colleges and universities has reached a turning pointWhy is it that in recent years, Shenzhen has vigorously built new universities, but some cooperative education projects have been terminated?Shenzhen is known as "the first-line economic industry, the third and fourth-line higher education", and there is a serious mismatch between the level of colleges and universities and the economic strength. At the policy level, a ban on cross-provincial and non-local schools has been prohibited, and the expansion of colleges and universities is facing stricter restrictions. However, although some new universities have been stopped, the momentum of Shenzhen and Suzhou's desperate efforts to build universities has not weakened, and a number of universities have been born in recent years.
The number of universities is no longer scarce, but how to bring in more high-quality universities?In the face of this problem, what are the improvements in the methods and policies that attract high-quality universities to the city?At first, why did Shenzhen vigorously build new universities but frequently encountered the termination of cooperative education projects?At the policy level, the ban on running schools across provinces and other places has led to stricter restrictions on the expansion of universities in Shenzhen and other places, and some university projects have been forced to run aground.
In the view of the Ministry of Education, there are many disadvantages of running schools across provinces and places, including dilution of the original high-quality educational resources brand of colleges and universities, the decline of school management level, and the difficulty of effective sharing of original teaching and research resources and campus cultural resources on campuses in different places. Therefore, as early as 2017, the Ministry of Education began to suspend cross-provincial and non-local schools, and recently made it clear that it will strictly control the non-local schools of colleges and universities. This measure is aimed at curbing the problems caused by the rapid expansion of universities across provinces, but it also brings some problems to some cities to introduce high-level universities.
Secondly, why can Shenzhen, Suzhou and other cities continue to build universities?Although the policy is strict, it still leaves a certain gap, such as the opening of branch campuses in the province and the encouragement of Hong Kong and Macao universities to open branch campuses in the Pearl River Delta. At the same time, some cities with financial resources can also build their own universities. These differences in policies provide some space for Shenzhen, Suzhou and other places to continue to build universities. However, the number of universities is no longer scarce, but the top universities are still insufficient. There are only more than 30 traditional 985 universities, and many provinces and cities do not even have a top university.
How to introduce more high-quality colleges and universities has become a practical problem in front of the city. Finally, how can cities that want to bring in top-notch universities respond to the challenges of university expansion?This paper argues that cities can attract more high-quality universities by strengthening the construction of internal universities, upgrading the level of existing universities, optimizing the policy environment, and strengthening cooperation with Hong Kong and Macao universities.
At the same time, the education department can also consider introducing more detailed and differentiated policies to provide more policy support for the introduction of high-quality universities in different types and levels of cities. In the face of the challenges of university expansion, how should cities balance the need to bring in high-quality universities with the constraints of policy?For the education sector, can the relevant policies be further optimized to provide more policy support for the introduction of high-quality colleges and universities in cities?Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
