1 985,211focuses on the evaluation of universities, and "double-class" focuses on the evaluation of disciplines.
Whether it's the 39 universities of the "985 Project" (including the National University of Defense Technology) or the "2 1 Project" 100 universities, they are all based on the overall evaluation of the school's comprehensive strength. Although there have been national key first-class disciplines and two disciplines's evaluation before, the society's overall cognition of a university is still based on "brand" rather than disciplines, with little influence.
There is a list of "first-class universities" (137) and "first-class universities" (42). That is to say, first, whether a university has several strong disciplines (majors), and then evaluate the strength of a university mainly according to the comprehensive strength of disciplines.
2.985 is an "upgraded version" of 211(211including 985), but the "two streams" do not overlap.
If 2 1 1 is the key class, then 985 is the key class in the key class. The "985 Project" colleges and universities are directly managed by the Ministry of Education or other central ministries and commissions, also known as subordinate colleges and universities; Except for 985, "2 1 1 project" colleges and universities are mostly built by provincial departments, with stronger local attributes. But 985 universities are all 2 1 1 universities.
"Double first-class" is two parallel evaluation systems. "First-class University Construction" relies on first-class disciplines, focusing on the overall construction and key construction of the school, and comprehensively improving the level of personnel training and innovation ability. There are 42 colleges and universities, with 3 new ones on the basis of the original 39 985 colleges and universities.
"First-class discipline construction in colleges and universities" focuses on the construction of superior disciplines and promotes the development of characteristics. There are 95 colleges and universities. In addition to most of the former "non-985" 211universities, there are 26 universities with obvious characteristics, including 6 arts and sports universities: China Conservatory of Music, Central Academy of Fine Arts, Central Academy of Drama, Shanghai Institute of Physical Education, Shanghai Conservatory of Music and China Academy of Art.
3, 985, 2 1 1 are solidified labels, and "double first-rate" means that there is something in and something out.
The list of 985, 2 1 1 universities has been established for nearly 20 years, and these two projects have played a great role in promoting the development of higher education in China. However, the shortcomings are obvious to all. Many non-985/2 1 1 colleges and universities have developed rapidly, but they are not recognized by the society because of the label of "non-key" and "non-subordinate". Many places and universities are dissatisfied with this.
And "double first-class" is a dynamic construction process, and the selection is not once and for all. The Ministry of Education clearly put forward that the construction of "double first-class" should be based on disciplines and dynamically monitor the construction process. According to the evaluation results, give warnings to those who are ineffective, slow in progress and have poor results, and reduce support. For universities and disciplines that have major problems in the construction process, no longer have the construction conditions and have not been improved after warning and rectification, the scope of construction will be adjusted in time. At the end of the construction period, redefine the scope of the next round of construction according to the final evaluation results, break the identity solidification, and do not engage in life tenure.

20 15,10 in June, the State Council announced the overall plan to promote the construction of world-class universities and first-class disciplines, and proposed to speed up the construction of a number of world-class universities and first-class disciplines, which opened the curtain of national "double-first-class" construction. "Double First-class" construction is another national strategy in the field of higher education in China after "2 1 1 Project" and "985 Project". 2065438+February 2006 The work points of the Ministry of Education for 2065438+2006 clearly require speeding up the construction of "double first-class".
During the National "Two Sessions" in 2065438+2007, Minister of Education Chen Baosheng said in response to questions related to "Double First Class": "Up to now, the top-level design, supporting system, work plan, selection criteria, selection institutions and working procedures for the construction of Double First Class have been available ... We are currently setting up an expert committee to determine the selection criteria on the basis of the expert committee and strive to complete this procedure in the first half of the year.
