To become an educational power is related to the number of people receiving education and the diploma level of the whole people. In terms of the number of undergraduate or graduate students, the absolute value of China is still quite large, but compared with the total, it is still not much, and there is still a big gap compared with western countries.
A strong education country also has a lot to do with the number of top universities in each country. At present, the global strength of universities in China has also been improved obviously, especially in Tsinghua, Warwick and Peking University, and other 985 universities are also good, but compared with universities in Britain and the United States, there is still a big gap in strength.
A strong country in education is also reflected in the level of papers produced by colleges and universities, and of course it also includes the ability to turn papers into productive forces. If you write a lot of papers, it has nothing to do with productivity, or it is an armchair strategist. Especially at present, China's chips and operating systems are facing bottlenecks, and the R&D capabilities of these universities are still unable to break through, which is still a pity.
China's current education volume can be said to be the highest in the world, but there is still a long way to go before the quality of education and papers can be transformed into science and technology and its productivity, and some scientists who sit on the bench will continue to work hard to keep up with the education level of western countries.
To say that education is to promote the development of science and technology and productivity, it is still impossible for a big country to conquer mask aligner and its chip manufacturing, R&D and other technologies, especially the powerful Huawei company. Because the beautiful chip is stuck, the whole mobile phone business is in trouble. From these examples, it can be seen that education serving science and technology is a very important issue, and it is still difficult to make a breakthrough in solving these problems through education.
