Guangdong University of Technology is expected to stand out in the next double-class construction.
Although Guangdong University of Technology did not stand out in the first two rounds of double-class universities, it is very strong. If the strength is similar, Guangdong University of Technology may not be able to stand out successfully and become a new double-class university. After all, good universities are concentrated in one place, which is not a good promoter of the development of higher education in China. Gradually balance the strength gap of higher education between regions and develop higher education more evenly.
