China has a long history of education, which can be traced to Confucius who lived in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the education system being perfected gradually. As far as higher education in China is concerned, however, there exists a far cry between that in the UK. Higher education has long been in existence in the UK, which dates from the 12th century, while it was at the end of Qing Dynasty in the late 19th century that the real modern higher education was first introduced to China. Contemporary higher education,strictly speaking,began in the year of 1977 when the government resumed the College Entrance Examination System,which had been hindered for an entire decade of Cultural Revolution.After the restoration and more than ten years’ development of higher education,it came to the year of 1990,in which the Education Committee put forward and promulgated the famous “211 Programme”.The programme was aimed to welcome the challenges brought about by the new technological revolution for the purpose of setting up about 100 institutions of higher learning and a number of principal subjects and specialities,and by the beginning of 21th century,they would have been able to approach nearer or even to get at the level at which the universally top-notch universities stood. Since the programme came into being,China’s higher education has taken on an entirely new look.With the increasing independence accorded with education reform,universities and colleges are able to choose their own teaching plans and curricula;to accept projects from or cooperate with other institutions for scientific reseach and technical development in setting up “combines” involving teaching,scientific research and production;to take charge of distribution of capital construction investment and funds allocated by the state;and to be responsible for the development of international exchanges by using their own funds.The changes make it possible for universities to receive financial aid from enterprises and decide how to utilize the fund without asking for extra money from departments in charge of education.Further,within their state-approved budgets,universities are obtaining more freedom to allocate funds as they see fit and to use income from tuition and technical and advisory services for their own development. First of all,it is profession-oriented. The universities realize that helping students to find jobs is one of their functions.So the courses in the college have a close relationship with the society.The managers in the universities know that the rate of taking up an occupation influences the development and the future of the universities.Second,the universities are keeping pace with the age.There are no fixed textbooks for students.Instead,varieties of the books in the libraries are becoming the textbooks.Third,great capacities.There are few examinations,but students must do lots of course works and presentations,which help them improve the abilities of expressing and creating.Fourth,the high quality of watchdog systems.If the parents are not satisfied with the teachers,they can ask the schools to investigate them.Fifth,the equality between the student and teacher.The status of teachers is not so high as Chinese teachers.But that’s what the teachers areworried about,because if the students do not ask them questions,they will lose their jobs. Lastly,the courses are deeper but not spreader.They wonder that a person could do everything well.So strengthening the difficulties of the courses is the point.That will give them a good or high-paid job. |
