Yang-en university, founded in 1987, was invested by the Yang En Foundation of Mr. Wu Qingxing, a patriotic overseas Chinese, and approved by the State Education Commission as a full-time ordinary institution of higher learning.
Since its establishment, yang-en university has experienced two periods of development. The first development period is the "donation period"; The second development period is the "sole proprietorship private period".
I. Donation period (June 1988 to June 1994)
In fact, "donating money to run an office" is a school-running model of "privately funded schools, which are handed over to the government and managed by the government after completion", and it is an inevitable product under the system of "the sovereignty of running a school belongs to the state". Although the school is public, Mr. Wu still needs to continuously subsidize the operating expenses.
Yang-en university has experienced three stages of development in the summer of charitable donations:
1. The first stage (Yan 'en College of Huaqiao University1June 988 to June 65438+June 0989)
This school is funded by Yang En Foundation, which was founded by Mr. Wu's family. It is jointly run by Fujian Provincial Education Commission and Huaqiao University, and named as Yangen College of Huaqiao University. At this stage, Yang En College is nominally a subordinate college of Huaqiao University, but it is completely independent. The scale of student development is set at 600.
2. The second stage (Yang En College August 1989 to March 1992)
1In August, 989, the State Education Commission agreed that Yang En College should be independent from Huaqiao University. The name of the school is Yang En College (director level). School leaders and teaching staff are equipped by the Fujian Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government, and are directly managed by the Fujian Provincial Education Commission. Yang En Foundation donated all school supplies to Fujian provincial government.
3. The third stage (yang-en university1March 1992 to1June 1994)
1in March, 1992, the State Education Commission informed the Fujian Provincial Government that "with the approval of the State Council, your province agreed to establish yang-en university on the basis of Yang 'en College", and "it was funded by Mr. Wu Qingxing, run by the State and led by the Fujian Provincial People's Government. "The school planning scale is tentatively set at 2,000 students.
During this period of development, the school has four departments, including animal science department, civil engineering department, English department and machinery manufacturing department, among which animal science department is the key discipline in Fujian Province.
Although the specifications of the school are constantly rising, and the State Education Commission and the Fujian Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government attach more and more importance to yang-en university, the school-running personnel and organizations have never formed a strong school-running team, and the outdated school-running system, rigid school-running model and imprisoned school-running ideas are all tightly binding the development of yang-en university.
Second, the period of sole proprietorship and private ownership (yang-en university started from July 1994).
In order to meet the needs of the national education reform, the State Education Commission 1993 made a special trip to Yang 'en Foundation, suggesting that Mr. Wu run a school alone and turn yang-en university into a private university as a pilot of the national education reform. Subsequently, the Fujian Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government also visited the Yengen Foundation many times. First, they put forward the idea of running a school jointly to Mr. Wu, but it failed. Later, he suggested to Mr. Wu that for the sake of national education reform, yang-en university should be turned into a private university as a pilot of national education reform. Finally, Mr. Wu agreed to the suggestions of the State Education Commission and the Fujian Provincial Party Committee and Government, and was determined to make yang-en university a private university as a pilot of education reform in China. Mr. Wu's decision fundamentally and thoroughly reformed the original system in yang-en university, and made yang-en university enter a brand-new development period. At the same time, the Fujian provincial government returned all the school supplies donated by Mr. Wu to the Yang En Foundation. At that time, private yang-en university only accepted 65,438+000 students, including 50 college students and 50 Wei Peisheng.
After yang-en university's system reform, it encountered many difficulties and twists and turns, and the reform could not be smooth sailing. However, with its sincere patriotism and persistent education, the school-running organizations in private yang-en university are keenly aware that private higher education, which is closely related to deepening education reform, is bound to usher in a brilliant spring, although it is full of difficulties and difficulties. In its own reform and development, yang-en university will learn from the advanced and successful experience of running schools at home and abroad, especially the advanced and successful experience of overseas Chinese, and explore the development track of China's higher education and the new mode of personnel training in the 2 1 century. At the same time, it is deeply realized that private colleges and universities, as a member of the social development stage, must follow the law of social development, make scientific planning and implement strict management.
