Recently, at the 32nd meeting of the State Council Academic Degrees Committee, Liu Yandong, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, vice premier of the State Council and director of the State Council Academic Degrees Committee, pointed out that during the 12th Five-Year Plan period, degree and postgraduate education should "serve the demand and improve the quality". In fact, both the United States and Australia attach importance to the quality evaluation of graduate education. In the quality evaluation of graduate education in the United States, in addition to independent and objective external evaluation, the self-evaluation of colleges and universities is an indispensable part.

"The scientific quality of postgraduate education is the core and key point to improve the quality of postgraduate education. You can't simply take the quality or quantity of several papers, test scores and so on. As the core of the quality of graduates. " 20 14 12.22 Du Zhanyuan, vice minister of education, released a strong signal of postgraduate education reform at the 20th anniversary meeting of China Institute of Degree and Postgraduate Education.

Postgraduate education is an important part of higher education in China. Solving the problem of postgraduate training quality is closely related to curriculum setting, educational evaluation and management mode. Improving the quality of postgraduate education lies in perfecting the enrollment and selection mechanism, reforming the training incentive mechanism and establishing a scientific teaching quality evaluation and monitoring mechanism.

American graduate education is large in scale and complex in system, but its quality remains good, which is closely related to its graduate education quality evaluation system. The federal and state governments in the United States have a clear division of labor in promoting graduate education, and promote the development of graduate education through macro and micro respectively. In particular, the state government has assumed more responsibilities in ensuring the quality of postgraduate education. In the evaluation of postgraduate education quality, the state government usually sets up a special evaluation institution, formulates evaluation standards and methods, plays an active role in data collection, and supervises the evaluation process. The government will take the evaluation results of accreditation bodies as the basis for the examination and approval of university degrees and the allocation of funds.
