According to the Master Plan, the state will encourage and support the differentiated development of different types of high-level universities and disciplines, carry out master planning and support at different levels, and start a new round of construction every five years. The construction will be more performance-oriented, and the support will be dynamically adjusted by establishing and improving the performance evaluation mechanism. Constantly improve the co-construction mechanism of government, society and schools, and form a pattern of multi-input and common support.
The construction of world-class universities and first-class disciplines, both construction and reform. The Master Plan identifies five construction tasks: building a first-class teaching staff, cultivating top-notch innovative talents, improving the level of scientific research, inheriting innovative excellent culture, and striving to promote the transformation of achievements. Five reform tasks, such as strengthening and improving the Party's leadership over colleges and universities, improving the internal governance structure, achieving breakthroughs in key links, building a social participation mechanism, and promoting international exchanges and cooperation, have been clarified.
The "Overall Plan" requires strengthening the organization and management of the construction of world-class universities and first-class disciplines, and promoting the implementation in an orderly manner. Relevant departments should pay close attention to improving supporting policies, and colleges and universities should scientifically formulate construction plans. We should consult and demonstrate the construction plan, dynamically monitor the construction process, and accept timely follow-up guidance and public supervision.
Since 1995, China has successively implemented a number of key construction projects, such as "Project 2 1 1" and "Project 985", and a number of high-level universities have made great progress and exerted extensive influence in the world.
It has laid a solid foundation for further building world-class universities and first-class disciplines. On August 18 this year, the Central Leading Group for Comprehensive Deepening Reform deliberated and adopted the "Overall Plan" and decided to promote the construction of world-class universities and first-class disciplines as a whole, so as to promote China's historic leap from a big country in higher education to a powerful country in higher education.
