The development history of China University is relatively short, while that of American universities is relatively long! China University originated in the late Qing Dynasty with a history of only 100 years. In the Ming Dynasty, China University was small in scale, with fewer schools and fewer students. Some universities learn from the American model, while others are founded by American churches. Before liberation, going to college was only for the rich, and the poor didn't even have the opportunity to go to school, let alone go to college!
After the founding of New China, the state attached importance to education and improved the quality of the whole people, and China University developed rapidly! The development of China University mainly draws lessons from the Soviet Union's university model, attaches importance to the professional training of talents, and has established many professional universities and military schools, and even the main buildings of universities are Soviet-style buildings. In fact, American universities only developed rapidly after World War II!
Second, university education should adapt to social development.
The purpose of university education is to cultivate talents for society, so university education should adapt to the needs of social development! The national construction of "key universities", "985, 2 1 1", "double first-class", and even the expansion of university enrollment and postgraduate enrollment are all to meet the needs of social development! In the past 40 years of reform and opening up, the national economy has developed at a high speed, all walks of life need talents, and university education has also developed rapidly! With the improvement of the overall material living standard of society, the quality of individuals also needs to be improved as a whole, so university education will gradually become a "civilian education"!
Thirdly, China university education has its own characteristics.
The development of China University draws lessons from the model of the Soviet Union, and the development of university education in China has adapted to the country's demand for talents, forming the present scale and pattern of university education, each with its own characteristics! China's university education also draws lessons from some good practices of the United States, but it has never copied the American university education model! American universities generally practice "lenient entry and strict exit", but universities in China can't do it at present! China and the United States have different national conditions. It is impossible for China to learn some practices of American universities if he wants to. For example, American university professors can expel graduate students; If the tutor doesn't agree, the students will definitely fail the defense and so on!
