Since the early 1990s, the relevant government departments have made great efforts in formulating the regulatory framework of private higher education, so the private higher education industry in China has developed rapidly. Private higher education institutions in China can be divided into three categories: private undergraduate, private junior college and independent college. Private undergraduate courses refer to private higher education institutions that provide undergraduate education courses, and private colleges refer to private higher education institutions that provide diploma education courses. Independent colleges refer to private higher education institutions at the undergraduate level, which are operated by non-governmental organizations or individuals and cooperate with public universities or colleges. The difference between an independent college and a private undergraduate is that an independent college must cooperate with a public institution of higher learning.
From 20 14 to 20 19, the total revenue of private higher education funds increased from 82.9 billion yuan to134.8 billion yuan.
In the past few years, the number of registered students in China's private higher education institutions has been increasing, from 5.9 million in 20 14 to 3.9 million in 20 19.
In 20 19, among the registered students of national private higher education, there were 2.5 million registered students in specialized courses and 4.4 million registered students in graduate and undergraduate courses.
The demand for IT talents is urgent.
Software and information technology service industry is a national strategic emerging industry in China. The China Municipal Government has issued a series of policies to support the development of this industry in terms of taxation, scientific research funds, import and export preferences, personnel training, intellectual property protection, market development and investment.
In terms of revenue, the market scale of software and information technology service industry in China has grown strongly in recent years, mainly benefiting from technological innovation, industry demand and favorable government policies. According to Jost Sullivan's report, the market size of China's software and information technology service industry (calculated by revenue) increased from 3.7 trillion yuan in 20 14 to 7.2 trillion yuan in 20 19, with a compound annual growth rate of 14.2%.
Private IT higher education refers to the full-time higher education courses for IT majors provided by private higher education institutions. The growth of software and information technology services in China has created a demand for talents with deep understanding and solid practical skills in emerging technologies, such as the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence. The Guide to Talent Development Planning in Manufacturing Industry points out that the next generation information technology industry in China will grow rapidly in the next decade, and there will be a huge talent supply and demand gap in the software and information technology service industry. It is estimated that the gap between talent supply and demand will reach 7.5 million in 2020, and it is expected to continue to expand to 9.5 million in 2025, and the total demand is expected to reach 20 million. The huge gap between supply and demand of talents in the industry means that there is a growing urgent demand for students who plan to receive higher education to meet the requirements of related occupations in China.
According to Jost Sullivan's data, the market size of private IT higher education industry in China increased from about 452,600 in 2065,438+04 to about 642,400 in 2065,438+08, with a compound annual growth rate of 96,5438+from 2065,438+04 to 2065,438+08. Driven by the future development of IT industry in China, the total number of registered students majoring in IT is expected to continue to grow.
