Under the strategic guidance of w88 mobile-driven development, what role should universities play?
It is a gathering area of "the first resource of talent" and should be the birthplace of "the first productivity of science and technology": 2/3 of the papers published in "Nature" and "Science" in the world come from universities, and 3/4 of the Nobel Prizes in science are won by universities. Of the major scientific and technological achievements that have affected human life so far, 70% were born in research universities. A series of numbers outline a clear picture of universities as important subjects of w88 mobile.
But in China at the moment, such "taken for granted" is somewhat "inadequate": the "Global Competitiveness Report" released by the World Economic Forum this year shows that my country's national competitiveness ranks 28th in the world, including 32nd in w88 mobile. position, higher education and training only ranked 65th. Shortcomings such as weak awareness of w88 mobile, insufficient training of innovative talents, low level of scientific research w88 mobile and transformation efficiency, and the absence of an evaluation mechanism to encourage w88 mobile are restricting the pace of Chinese universities to improve their w88 mobile capabilities and serve the national development strategy.
From July 22 to 23, the 25th plenary meeting of the Higher Education Work Advisory Committee directly under the Ministry of Education was held with the theme of “Comprehensively Improving the w88 mobile Capabilities of Higher Education Institutions and Leading and Supporting the Implementation of w88 mobile-Driven Development Strategies”. "The theme of this meeting answers the purpose of building the university system and where to start comprehensive reform. It is in line with the needs of the national development strategy at present and in the future, and it also addresses the current 'shortcomings' in the development of universities." said Yuan Guiren, Minister of Education.
Reform and innovate the education system and seize the "nose" of educating people in colleges and universities
"When I talked about innovation and entrepreneurship in the past, I thought it was to solve the employment problem, so we put the work of innovation and entrepreneurship in the employment department. It was not until this year that we realized that this involves the overall development of the w88 casino, and an independent department must be established to coordinate the overall development." Wang Yajie, secretary of the Party Committee of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, has a "spiral awareness" towards innovation, which was a common feeling of many university presidents and secretaries.
To enhance comprehensive w88 mobile capabilities, w88 mobile in education and teaching is the core. At the consultation meeting, there was constant reflection on the current w88 mobile and entrepreneurship education in colleges and universities.
"Innovative culture breeds innovative teachers, and innovative teachers cultivate innovative students. But in today's universities, teachers dare not challenge others, and students have standard answers. How can innovative talents be grown?" Tan Tianwei, president of Beijing University of Chemical Technology, believes that the lack of cultural nourishment hinders the reform of innovative education and teaching.
“When carrying out innovation and entrepreneurship education, the classroom should be the main battlefield, but the reality is that the classroom has become a secondary battlefield.” Wang Ling, Secretary of the Party Committee of the w88 casino, said that as soon as they heard about innovation and entrepreneurship education, many schools “get on with it”, but they have not really explored the connotation of innovation and entrepreneurship education in various courses and designed a systematic education model.
How to cultivate innovative talents? Vigorously developing interdisciplinary and collaborative education has become the consensus of many universities and has been gradually implemented: Tsinghua University strengthens process education, from student interest groups to "maker spaces" to create an innovative atmosphere in an all-round way; Northeastern University established the w88 casino of Innovation and Entrepreneurship to build an educational service model of "innovation mentors + professional incubation + venture capital" and hired more than 100 domestic and foreign experts as innovation and entrepreneurship mentors; Beijing Normal University created an interdisciplinary platform to encourage collaborative education that breaks discipline barriers.
But what Yuan Guiren is looking forward to more is the popularization from "point" to "face". "Strengthening w88 mobile and entrepreneurship education is a breakthrough to improve the quality of talent training. It cannot be a "gust of wind". Innovative talents cannot be found by studying hard, so we must make a fuss about the collaborative education of science and education."
Build an w88 mobile evaluation system and no longer let "whoever reforms will suffer, and whoever innovates will be unlucky"
As the discussion became more intense, Ke Bingsheng, the president of China Agricultural University, raised the issue that had troubled him for a long time - "poaching cheaters". Ke Bingsheng pointed out: "The key to improving w88 mobile capabilities lies in people. But schools are always evaluated by how many 'outstanding young people', Yangtze River Scholars, and Thousand Talents Plan there are. Schools are trying their best to recruit experts from the Thousand Talents Plan. How to improve w88 mobile capabilities?" There is also a call for "peer review" that has not been implemented for many years. "In the application for an important national project in biology, there were experts in astrophysics to review. Cutting-edge basic sciences are separated by mountains. What is the difference between this and asking a street aunt to review?"
To improve comprehensive w88 mobile capabilities, scientific research and w88 mobile is the focus. However, in the absence of an w88 mobile evaluation system that is connected with the national development strategy, measuring schools by "how many Yangtze Scholars there are," measuring teachers by "how many papers they have published," and measuring students by "how many scores they have passed in exams" has become a "baton". This has caused universities and teachers to lack the driving force for innovative development aimed at economic and social needs, and the situation of "running schools behind closed doors" is serious.
"The assessment of talents only depends on how many awards they have won and how many papers they have published. The most direct consequence is that colleges and universities apply for more awards and convert less, and gradually lose the ability to serve economic development." Sun Qixin, president of Northwest A&F University, lamented.
Wang Yajie is even more worried that the complexity of basic research and the simplification of the evaluation system are intertwined, causing universities and scholars to lose their enthusiasm to tackle basic frontier topics, and only focus on the shallow application level at the end. "Now this trend is becoming more and more obvious, and teachers' research on basic subjects is gradually weakening, but this is precisely the commanding heights that universities should seize."
The establishment of the w88 mobile evaluation system is about to begin.
As early as May this year, when the General Office of the State Council issued the "Implementation Opinions on Deepening the Reform of w88 mobile and Entrepreneurship Education in Colleges and Universities," the Ministry of Education stated that it would reform the evaluation of students. Future exams will "focus on testing students' ability to use knowledge to analyze and solve problems, and explore non-standard answer exams."
At the consultation meeting, Yuan Guiren once again mentioned the reform’s evaluation of teachers and universities, “We cannot let whoever reforms suffer, and whoever innovates is unlucky. In the next step, we will focus on evaluating universities and teachers based on w88 mobile quality and contribution, adding social value, ecological value and other indicators to various evaluations, and building a diversified science and technology evaluation system that combines self-evaluation, peer evaluation, social evaluation, and international evaluation.”
Deepen the w88 mobile of systems and mechanisms to release the innovative vitality of universities
At the end of last year, a university in central China was "fined" because it couldn't spend the money. "In September, a fund for the maintenance of national key cultural relics was allocated, but it must be spent by the end of the year, otherwise I will be fined. Repairing cultural relics is slower than building new buildings, and the money cannot be spent, so I can only accept the penalty." Many university presidents complained that similar situations are common in universities.
Liu Jianping, the president of Tianjin University, vividly calls this "trouble of not being able to spend money" as "you can't buy vinegar with soy sauce money." "The fund management mechanism is too rigid, and the special funds for designated purposes and regular funds are divided at 30-70, and the money can only be spent on equipment. The imperfect resource allocation system has led to a strong emphasis on things and people, and a strong desire for quick success."
Compared with the "national team"'s call for scientific allocation of resources, local universities are looking forward to greater breakthroughs in the employment system.
“The president of a local university once ‘cryed’ to me that he wanted to bring in experts from Harvard, but because he did not use human rights, he had to watch the local human resources department use the same questions as the civil servant exam to test experts.” Li Xiaohong, president of Wuhan University, said.
To enhance comprehensive w88 mobile capabilities, institutional w88 mobile is the guarantee. When Li Yuanyuan, executive chairman of the advisory committee and president of Jilin University, made a consultation report, he did not mince words about the "shortcomings" of the current system: "Whether it is in the field of natural sciences or humanities and social sciences, from project establishment, fund management to achievement acceptance and transformation, there is still concentration of power, multiple management, and duplication. Problems such as project establishment and chain disconnection. There are departmentalism, mountainousness and administrative phenomena in the establishment of management institutions, academic resource allocation and discipline construction and development within universities, which make the autonomy, openness and marketization capabilities of universities’ scientific and technological w88 mobile activities have institutional mechanisms and policy obstacles.”
In this regard, the consultation report made suggestions:
In terms of building an innovative talent team, establish and improve a flexible flow mechanism for scientific research talents, explore the establishment of mutual recruitment systems and mechanisms between universities and government, enterprises, industries and other units; explore a talent management model suitable for the development of Chinese university think tanks, and improve the "revolving door" system of industry-university-research and government-university-research with Chinese characteristics.
In terms of improving the distribution mechanism, improve the incentive mechanism and evaluation mechanism for scientific research to feed back teaching, guide, train and motivate teachers to consciously improve their scientific research level and practical w88 mobile ability, and actively use scientific research to feed back teaching.
In terms of resource allocation mechanism, further improve the budget preparation method of scientific research projects, delegate budget adjustment and approval authority and autonomy in fund use, and establish a science and technology investment mechanism that coordinates normalized, stable support with project-oriented and competitive support.
Yuan Guiren did not forget to remind the "heads" of participating universities that "we must not forget the importance of improving w88 mobile capabilities, let alone ignore its arduousness, complexity and lengthy nature."
Like the “starting gun”, the competition for “comprehensive w88 mobile” among Chinese universities has just begun.(Guangming Daily reporter Deng Hui)
