With the development of China's reform economy, China's education has also matured from the initial stage, and made great progress, which also promoted the popularization of higher education in China. At present, the gross enrollment rate of higher education in China has exceeded 50%. In addition, with the increasing inclination of national financial resources, the number of higher education institutions in China is also increasing year by year, among which the number of ordinary universities and postgraduate training institutions is also increasing steadily year by year, which enables higher education institutions in China to accommodate more educatees. However, the uneven distribution of educational resources among colleges and universities in China has caused serious policy deviation, which is a major problem that hinders the balanced development of colleges and universities in China.
Since the reform and opening up, China's higher education has made great progress and achieved remarkable achievements. A multi-level, multi-form and multi-disciplinary socialist higher education system has been initially formed to meet the needs of national economic construction and social development. It has trained and brought up a large number of professionals for society, mainly for modernization, and played an important role in national economic construction, scientific and technological progress and social development. At present, the number of students in China's higher education ranks among the top in the world and has entered the stage of popularization of higher education, forming a very good development momentum and foundation.
The government attaches importance to higher education, and China's investment in higher education is increasing year by year.
Education is the foundation of national development, and the improvement of national level means the development of national economy and science and technology. At present, the proportion of the population with bachelor degree in China is less than 5%, and the proportion of the population with college degree and bachelor degree is less than 9%. However, with the rapid development of society, the era of knowledge economy has arrived, and more and more people receive higher education, so our country pays more and more attention to higher education.
According to the statistical bulletin of national education funds in 20 19 issued by the Ministry of Education, the total investment of national education funds in 20 19 was 50 175 billion yuan, an increase of 7.74% over the previous year. Among them, the national financial education expenditure was 4,004.9 billion yuan, an increase of 8.25% over the previous year. The total investment in higher education in China was134.64 billion yuan, an increase of 1654.38+0.99% over the previous year. Among them, the total investment in general higher vocational education was 240.2 billion yuan, an increase of 1 1.25% over the previous year.
On the one hand, the government attaches importance to higher education, which is reflected in the increase of education funds year by year, on the other hand, it is also reflected in the composition of higher education funds, in which state investment accounts for the largest proportion. At present, it accounts for more than 50% of the national higher education funds, which shows that the state attaches importance to higher education.
The construction of higher education schools in China is stable and the number is increasing year by year.
With the increasing investment in higher education in China, it has promoted the stable construction of higher education institutions in China. Since 2004, the number of institutions of higher learning and postgraduate training in China has increased steadily year by year. In 20 19, there were 2688 institutions of higher learning and 828 postgraduate training units in China.
The gross enrollment rate of higher education in China has exceeded 50%, and higher education is popular.
One of the best indicators to reflect the popularization of higher education is the gross enrollment rate of higher education. The gross enrollment rate of higher education can not only reflect the development of a country's higher education scale, but also explain the proportion of opportunities provided by the state for the population of higher education age to receive higher education.
In the first 20 years since the reform and opening up, the development of higher education in China has been in a steady growth trend. Since the enrollment expansion from 65438 to 0999, the scale of higher education has increased greatly. In 20 12, the gross enrollment rate of higher education in China reached 30%, and higher education entered the internationally recognized "popularization" stage. In 20 19, the gross enrollment rate of higher education in China was 5 1.6%.
The distribution of higher education resources in China is uneven, and the resources of colleges and universities are seriously tilted.
Although our government resources are constantly tilting towards higher education, and the number of people receiving higher education is increasing year by year, there is an unreasonable distribution of resources within higher education institutions. Since the 1990s, China has adopted the policy of favoring key universities in the allocation of higher education resources, and started the "2 1 1 Project" and "985 Project" and other university construction projects. Cluster-based university construction planning is commendable, but the allocation of funds by the Ministry of Education through the "985" project reflects serious policy deviation.
China's higher education will continue to develop and achieve high-level, modern and innovative higher education.
In the future, China will continue to move towards the goal of achieving the development of high-quality and popular higher education. The state will focus on building several world-class universities, building a number of high-level universities, and strengthening inter-university support and writing; Diversified training modes; Realize the integration of humanities education, science education and professional education; Make basic research, applied research, high-tech research, technology development, popularization and application, technical services and other research and development activities at different levels form a reasonable division of labor in the higher education system, and combine them with teaching to form a knowledge production system that closely combines production, learning and research; Create an overall educational environment and greatly improve the quality level of all universities.
At the same time, China's higher education will gradually adapt to the form of economic globalization and become a more open higher education. In the future, China will strengthen international cooperation and exchanges in higher education, make more use of international educational resources, develop and upgrade higher education in China, and establish a number of famous universities with international competitiveness. In addition, the state will also cultivate students' innovative thinking and develop entrepreneurial ability, so that graduates can not only find jobs, but also become creators of employment opportunities. Let each institution of higher learning not only have the characteristics of the times, but also have its own characteristics in school-running mode, dominant disciplines, study style and school spirit, so as to make China's higher education more creative.
