On April 1, 2017, the Communist Party of China issued a notice to establish a national-level new area, Hebei Xiong'an New Area.
A "city of the future" has sprung up.
Xiong'an New Area has undertaken the historical task of relieving Beijing's non-capital functions and promoting the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, and is a new area of national significance after the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and Shanghai Pudong New Area.
In the future, Xiong'an New Area will be built into a highland for high-quality higher education resources, and become a model of deep integration of education and the city.
On October 28, 2023, the "Xiong'an Tour of 100 Universities" event was held in Xiong'an New Area. Experts and scholars from national ministries and commissions, scientific research institutes and 150 famous universities across the country gathered together to seek a new chapter. Activities include Peking University, Tsinghua University, Chinese People's University, Beijing Normal University, Fudan University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Xi'an Jiaotong University, etcThe university signed a letter of intent with Xiong'an New Area to jointly build a talent introduction workstation, 23 school-enterprise, school-real estate-university-research projects were signed.
Among them, 34 985 colleges and universities have signed contracts, accounting for nearly 90% of the total number of 985.
The workstation aims to "recruit troops" for the construction of the new area and "pave the way" for the employment and entrepreneurship of college talents. Sun Yao, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Education, said that the Ministry of Education will conduct in-depth research with colleges and universities, support the national strategy with educational services, promote the high-quality development of Xiong'an New Area with the advantages of university talents and innovation, and promote colleges and universities to obtain new development opportunities in serving the construction and development of Xiong'an New Area.
Beijing Institute of Technology, settled in Xiong'an
Long Teng, President of Beijing Institute of Technology and Academician of the Chinese Academy of EngineeringZeng said, "As the largest intersection of science and technology as the first productive force, talent first resource, and innovation first driving force, colleges and universities have an unshirkable responsibility and heavy responsibility in serving the high-quality construction of Xiong'an New Area." ”
President Long Teng said that Beijing Institute of Technology will give full play to the university's advantages in strategic emerging interdisciplinary disciplines such as aerospace information, intelligent equipment, new energy, medical-industrial integration, and financial management, and carry out school-local cooperation in multiple fields such as talent training, scientific and technological innovation, and achievement transformation, so as to serve the construction of Xiong'an New Area and the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei.
In January this year, Beijing Institute of Technology released the 2023 high-quality development documentary of the school, "Dare to Do Good to Create Excellence, Take Advantage of the Situation to Write a New Chapter", mentioning the schoolIt has been approved for Xiong'an CampusIt is comprehensively building a school-running pattern of "one vein, five districts, and integrated development" including Zhongguancun Campus, Liangxiang Campus, Zhuhai Campus, Huailai Campus, and Xiong'an Campus.

Previously, Huang Yifang, member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee and vice president of Beijing Language and Culture University, led a team to the University of Science and Technology Beijing in July last year to investigate the construction of the Xiong'an campus. Vice President Huang Yifang said that the overall planning and development orientation of "one school, two districts" of University of Science and Technology Beijing has important learning experience and reference value for the construction of Xiong'an Campus of Beijing Language and Culture UniversityBLYU will also take the opportunity of the development of Xiong'an New Area to promote the coordinated layout and coordinated development of the Beijing Campus and the Xiong'an Campus
University of Science and Technology Beijing, Beijing Jiaotong University, Beijing Forestry University, and China University of Geosciences (Beijing) are:The first batch was evacuated to Xiong'an New AreaBeijingUniversity.
It is reported that the Beijing campusThe space for running a school is small, which restricts the development of the schoolCommon problems faced by universities
The Xiong'an campus is at least twice as large as the Beijing campus of these universities. For example, the Xiong'an Campus of Beijing Jiaotong University covers an area of about 2,600 acres, which is 26 times, it is also the largest Xiong'an campus of these 4 universities. The smallest new campus is China University of Geosciences (Beijing), about 1,600 acres, which is more than twice the size of the university's existing campus.
The development advantages brought by the expansion of school space are self-evident. According to the 2021-2022 Undergraduate Teaching Quality Report of the University of Science and Technology Beijing, "the number of students in the school has reached 28,595, while the campus covers an area of only 1,205 acres, resulting in a shortage of teaching experimental space and restricting the development of the school." According to the plan, by 2025,Xiong'an Campus, University of Science and Technology BeijingThe first batch of 17,700 students will be allowed to settle in, and the task of relieving the existing students will be gradually completed; By 2030, the software and hardware of the Xiong'an campus will be relatively mature, forming a good situation for the two campuses; By 2035, a complete talent training system covering undergraduate, master's and doctoral degrees will be gradually formed, the planning and construction goals of the university will be completed, and the university will basically be built into a world-class university.
At the kick-off meeting of the overall planning and design of the Xiong'an campusBeijing Jiaotong UniversityIt was announced that the new campus will form a comprehensive discipline system with emerging interdisciplinary disciplines as the main body, and the coordinated development of advantageous and characteristic disciplines, supporting disciplines, basic disciplines, and philosophy and social science disciplines.
According toBeijing Forestry UniversityThe Xiong'an Campus will plan and lay out national large-scale scientific installations, create a world-class innovation highland for the integration of teaching, scientific research and industry, and inject new momentum into the university's better service to the national ecological strategy.
At present, the Xiong'an campuses of these four 211 colleges and universities have all started. According to the plans of each university, these new campuses will be open to students in the fall of 2025, and all four universities will be relocated in 2035.
Hebei Higher Education is about to take off!
On the one hand, the relocation of Beijing colleges and universities to Xiong'an New Area will expand the scale of running schools, which will be of great benefit to the development of the schools themselves.
On the other hand, the influx of high-quality colleges and universities has directly improved the quality of higher education in Hebei Province.
At present, there is only one "double first-class" university in Hebei Province - Hebei University of Technology, and its main body is still located in Tianjin. There is 1 985 and 1 211 that have opened "branches" in Hebei Province, namely the Qinhuangdao campus of Northeastern University and the Baoding campus of North China Electric Power University.
Hebei is a major province for the college entrance examination, and the number of candidates has been among the top in the country for many years. According to data from the Hebei Provincial Education Examination Institute, the 985 admission rate of college entrance examination candidates in the province in recent years is only 1Around 5%, the 211 acceptance rate is in 4About 4%. Compared with the 985 acceptance rate of more than 4 percentage points and the 211 acceptance rate of more than 10 percentage points in the surrounding Beijing-Tianjin area, Hebei candidates can only be saddened.
Therefore, the entry of a number of high-level universities in Xiong'an New Area will undoubtedly greatly increase the proportion of Hebei candidates staying in the province to study in good universities, and lay a foundation for high-quality talents to stay in Hebei in the future, build Hebei, and promote the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei.
According to the work report of Hebei Province, in 2024, Hebei will promote the construction of Xiong'an New Area with high standards and high qualityAccelerate the construction of the first batch of central enterprise headquarters, universities, hospitals and other projects, and implement the second batch of relief implementation plansto attract more market-oriented relief projects.
At the same time, Hebei Province has vigorously strengthened the construction of local colleges and universities, and the work report proposes to promote the quality and training of vocational education, and support the priority development of backbone universities and advantageous disciplines. The "14th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Education in Hebei Province" specifically mentions accelerating the construction of first-class universities and first-class disciplines, and clearly expresses strong supportHebei University of TechnologyThe construction of world-class disciplines in advanced equipment engineering and technology supports the joint construction of ministries and provincesHebei UniversityAccelerate the construction of Yanzhao culture, life sciences and green development advantageous and characteristic discipline groups, supportYanshan UniversityConstruction of mechanical engineering, materials science and engineering discipline groupStrive to enter the national "double first-class" construction sequence.
In the 80s of the last century, the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and Pudong New Area were built one after another, marking China's determination and confidence to unswervingly take the road of reform and opening up. Today's Xiong'an New Area has undertaken the mission of the new era, and we will continue to pay attention to the development of the new area, focus on the changes in the field of higher education, and look forward to the new style brought by the new blueprint.
