Wang Ling:Premier Wen Jiabao emphasized the issue of building distinctive, high-level universities and first-class universities in his government work report. This was a wise decision made after a rational analysis of my country's economic and social development and the current situation of higher education. The promulgation of this important idea will surely promote profound changes in China's higher education.

Strive to build distinctive and high-level universities is an urgent need for my country’s economic and social development and the development of higher education.Premier Wen Jiabao pointed out in the government work report,The international financial crisis has severely impacted our country's economy. Exports have dropped significantly. Many companies have difficulty operating, and some have even stopped production and closed down. The number of unemployed people has increased significantly, migrant workers have returned to their hometowns in large numbers, and the economic growth rate has declined sharply. The reason for this is that China has made great achievements in economic development since the founding of the People's Republic of China, especially since the reform and opening up (economic aggregate ranks among the top in the world, per capita)GDPExceeds3,200USD) is based on the two major engines of export and investment. my country's dependence on foreign w88 is as high as60%Above, even in the eastern coastal areas80%Above, once an international financial crisis occurs, the world economy declines, and foreign demand decreases, the domestic economy will be seriously affected, resulting in the unfavorable situation of my country's economic development being restricted by foreign countries. To reverse this passive situation, we must change the mode of economic development and achieve three transformations: first, from relying mainly on investment and exports to relying on the coordination of consumption, investment and exports; second, from relying mainly on the secondary industry to relying on the coordination of the primary, secondary and tertiary industries; third, relying on material consumption to drive the economy and relying on improving the quality of workers and improving management levels to produce high value-added products (such as cultural and artistic high value-added products) to drive economic transformation. For this reason, when summarizing my country's experience in actively responding to the impact of the international financial crisis, Premier Wen Jiabao pointed out: "We must insist on coordinating both domestic and international situations, take expanding domestic demand as a long-term strategic policy, unswervingly implement a mutually beneficial and win-win opening strategy, and accelerate the formation of a pattern in which domestic and external demand coordinate to drive economic growth." It should be said that this conclusion is pertinent.

The most critical factor in transforming the mode of economic development is the need for high-quality talents. Without high-quality talents, realizing the transformation of the economic development model will be water without a source and a tree without roots. "The key to China's future development and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation depends on talents, and the foundation lies in education." In today's world, economic globalization is developing in depth, science and technology are advancing with each passing day, and international competition is becoming increasingly fierce. Knowledge has increasingly become a strategic factor in improving comprehensive national strength and international competitiveness, and human resources have increasingly become a strategic resource in promoting economic and social development. The country is far-sighted, determined and accelerated the strategic transformation from a country with large human resources to a powerful country with human resources. In this process, higher education shoulders a sacred responsibility.

It can be said that whether we can cultivate "tens of millions of high-quality professionals and a large number of top-notch innovative talents" that the country urgently needs is the only criterion for testing the success or failure of higher education in our country. It is also a huge challenge to higher education posed by our country's economy and society. To cultivate high-quality talents, we must have first-class education and several high-level universities.

What kind of university is a high-level university? In my opinion, a distinctive university is a high-level university. There are more than 2,000 universities in China, but they are all the same and tend to be homogeneous. Therefore, the country’s proposal to build distinctive and high-level universities was proposed after careful discussion.

Reporter:What does the country’s strategic decision to build a distinctive and high-level university mean to the future development of the w88 casino?

Wang Ling:Premier Wen Jiabao’s strategic decision to strive to build a distinctive and high-level university is not only a great encouragement and affirmation, but also a new spur for w88 casino; it not only brings new opportunities but also poses new challenges for future development.

The w88 casino is a university that serves the country’s foreign w88 development and opening up to the outside world. It shoulders the sacred mission of cultivating first-class talents who loyally serve the opening up cause and international economic and w88 affairs for the motherland. In today's world, with the development of the trend of world economic integration and the end of the transition period for my country's accession to the World w88 Organization, my country's international economic activities are increasingly subject to all-round and deep-level so-called international rules and practices. Although this is currently mainly reflected in foreign w88 activities, we must be prepared for a rainy day. The competition among countries for resources, energy, technology, and talents is becoming increasingly fierce, w88 protectionism is further on the rise, and w88 frictions and disputes between my country and some countries are on the rise... All this shows that our country is in urgent need of international talents who can properly handle and resolve international w88 frictions and disputes, safeguard the interests of our country and enterprises, and have an international perspective, are familiar with international rules, and can participate in international affairs and international competition.

As the w88 casino, it is the mission of the country to cultivate a large number of high-quality talents who can adapt to the development requirements of opening up to the outside world. The goals of running the w88 casino are very clear, and the positioning of talent training is very accurate, that is, to cultivate talents who understand foreign languages, understand majors, respond quickly, have strong communication skills, and strong problem-solving abilities. When we carry out top-level design of talent training, we must first establish global awareness and international perspective. The talents we train must understand both China and the international market, be able to solve problems that China's economy encounters in the international market (such as w88 frictions), be able to promote China's economic development in the process of economic globalization, and be able to solve hot issues in the world.

In the state of economic globalization, the high-quality talents that the country and the world will urgently need in the future are: transnational business management, international investment management, advanced risk assessment and forecasting, international financial analysis, and senior specialized talents in insurance, actuarial science, claims settlement, international economic law, international negotiation talents, international finance and w88 investment, international cultural w88, international cultural market development, international cultural enterprise management, and international cultural industry management. The common characteristics of these talents are that they are complex and international. They are good at foreign languages, familiar with international rules, have solid professional knowledge in economics, management, law, information technology, etc., and have some professional skills required by the international market.

w88 casino is nearby60Two distinct characteristics have been formed in the development of 28774_28976| years, one is internationalization, and the other is composite type. Because of this, our students have very good employment, ranking among the best among similar universities in terms of employment level, quality and employment rate. The quality of our students is also very good. Premier Wen Jiabao put forward new requirements for striving to build a distinctive and high-level university, which further strengthened our direction of running schools, gave us great encouragement, and also enabled us to see new opportunities for development. We will unite and lead the teachers and students of the w88 casino to further strengthen the characteristics of running the w88 casino and strive to cultivate more high-level international w88 talents who serve the country's opening-up cause.

Reporter:What are the difficulties faced by the w88 casino in accelerating the construction of a distinctive and high-level university?

Wang Ling:It should be said that building the w88 casino into a first-class, distinctive and high-level university has a long way to go and faces many difficulties. First, there are issues with the existing methods and standards for evaluating universities. The evaluation standards of universities are very important. We do not want to use one ruler to evaluate all universities, and we do not want to use the standards for evaluating comprehensive universities to evaluate specialty universities, because the "one size fits all" evaluation standards and resource allocation methods have brought many constraints to the next development of the w88 casino. For example, regarding graduate student enrollment, the w88 casino currently has graduate students3000There are many people. Based on the scale and quality, a graduate w88 casino should be established. However, because the w88 casino has few subject categories, it cannot be established according to current regulations. This puts great constraints on the w88 casino's ability to cultivate high-quality and top-notch graduate students. Second, there is the issue of university autonomy in running schools. That is to say, universities must be delegated power, and education departments must have a certain degree of flexibility in setting up disciplines and majors in universities, especially in some applied disciplines. The disciplines and majors in characteristic universities must be adjusted accordingly in a timely manner according to market demand. Third, there is the issue of institutional innovation. The "distinctive and high-level" proposed by Premier Wen Jiabao at the two sessions does not refer to characteristics in the traditional sense. This kind of characteristics must be closely integrated with the market. To go beyond characteristics in the traditional sense, institutional innovation is required. Institutional innovation will inevitably touch the interests of some people. For example, w88 casino now has international accounting, international w88, international multinational company management, international economic law and other disciplines. We must make a reasonable layout of disciplines and integrate superior resources. To this end, we have to adjust the existing teaching content, which will involve the adjustment of the interests of some colleges and teachers. Fourth, there is the problem of insufficient investment in education. The shortage of education funds is still an important factor restricting the development of schools. It is hoped that the education and financial authorities can increase financial and policy support for characteristic universities.

Reporter:What are the main ideas for the w88 casino to strive to build a distinctive and high-level university?

Wang Ling:w88 casino is in200935349_3544560With years of w88 casino-running experience, we will think and analyze the new situation and new challenges faced by the current w88 casino development, and further clarify the scientific development ideas: that is, we must persist in the goal of building a distinctive and high-level university, use characteristics to highlight our advantages, rely on characteristics to create a first-class university, give full play to the advantages of disciplines and talents, continuously improve the w88 casino's research capabilities to solve major problems faced by the country in participating in economic globalization and integrating into the world economic system, contribute to resolving the impact of the international financial crisis on our country's economy, and contribute to the country's participation in economic globalization and opening up to the outside world. Form a consensus on a series of major issues in building a high-level university with distinctive characteristics: first, adhere to the path of scientific development, connotation development, characteristic development, and modern development, and further clarify the w88 casino development strategy; second, adhere to the people-oriented approach, clarify the basic question of "development for whom, and by whom development depends", and promote the all-round development of teachers and students; third, adhere to the fundamental approach of overall planning, coordinate eight major relationships, and promote the comprehensive and coordinated development of the w88 casino's undertakings; fourth, persist in strengthening party building and ideological and political work in the spirit of reform and innovation to provide a strong guarantee for the reform and development of the w88 casino.

Currently, the w88 casino is preparing to convene the 11th Party Congress and initiate the formulation of the w88 casino’s “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” career development plan. Efforts to build a distinctive and high-level university will be an unswerving theme in the future. w88 casinoThe idea of building a distinctive and high-level university is:

First,Change your mindset. The high-quality talents we train refer to those who put "moral education first", "ability first" and "all-round development". They have ideas, thoughts, creativity and dedication, are loyal to the motherland and the people, understand the traditional culture of the motherland, can understand and identify with world civilizations and different cultures, and have solid professional knowledge and skills. In talent cultivation, we must follow the laws of talent growth and education development. At the same time, we must study the changes in the market and the market's demand for talents at any time, study the changes in the international situation and the demand for talent cultivation caused by changes in the international market, and cultivate talents closely in line with market demand.

Second, reform the teaching content. In terms of curriculum design, it is necessary to make the curriculum more scientific and reasonable based on the market's demand for different talents, and to intersect and integrate disciplines in order to cultivate high-quality compound talents that the market demands, that is, talents with various knowledge backgrounds and skills that are necessary to solve a series of complex problems such as international w88 frictions and disputes. It is impossible to cultivate this kind of talent solely by one college or a certain discipline. It must be cultivated collaboratively by multiple disciplines. Therefore, the w88 casino integrates the superior resources of the w88 casino and integrates economics, management, law, information technology, foreign languages ​​and literature, and applied linguistics. It also adds teaching content such as Western economics, Western music, Western art, Western philosophy, and basic common sense of cutting-edge technologies for human development such as chemistry, biology, and materials science. It is necessary to timely add majors and research directions according to market demand. For example, the newly opened luxury goods management major has attracted great attention from the society. China has become the world's second largest luxury goods market. China's luxury goods market has broad development prospects, but there is a lack of management talents in this area. Another example is w88 casino’s financial services outsourcing major, which are all majors established to closely meet market demand.

Third, change teaching methods and means. We need to introduce the most advanced international first-class teaching materials and translate them into Chinese based on China’s national conditions so that students can understand the current international business situation. We offer all English classesMBA, the all-English international economics (Chinese economy) major, allows students to learn professional courses in English, and use English to research and track changes in the international market. In addition, a financial simulation laboratory and a w88 simulation laboratory have been set up to enable students to operate online. We vigorously encourage and guide students to conduct academic research, cultivate students' innovative abilities, and find ways to increase students' internship opportunities and experiences, such as setting up internship bases in multinational companies in Beijing, conducting internships at the United Nations Simultaneous Interpretation Center, allowing students to perform theatrical performances in Europe and the United States and other countries and communicate with European and American university students. At the same time, we will strengthen the cultivation of top talents and create the "Bachelor of Economics Honors Class".

Fourth, strengthen the construction of international teaching staff. The key to running a distinctive and high-level university lies in teachers. The kind of teachers you have determines what kind of university you run. The w88 casino willDeeply promote the strategy of strengthening the w88 casino through talents, focus on the subject construction goals, increase the use, integration, and development of human resources, focus on the introduction and training of subject leading talents, adjust and optimize the talent structure, build a talent highland, and drive the overall quality of the teaching team to improve.Further improve the high-level talent introduction system at home and abroad, form a global perspective in talent selection, hire "Yangtze River Scholars" and other subject leaders, focus on introducing a group of academic leaders with international standards and outstanding young and middle-aged academic backbones with strong international competitiveness, and increase the introduction of outstanding talents who have returned from overseas.In addition, teachers are organized to go abroad for further training, conduct international market research, and give lectures abroad. Adjust the teacher evaluation mechanism and encourage teachers to use bilingual teaching.
