What are the advantages of double first-class universities? "The general working principle of implementing the construction of" double first-class "is to strive for progress in stability, inherit and innovate, and reform and development." According to the person in charge, the construction of "double first-class" is not to be launched by all, but to fully consider the key construction foundations of higher education such as "2 1 1 Project" and "985 Project" and inherit the existing construction achievements. At the same time, adhering to open competition, dynamic adjustment, breaking identity solidification, strengthening performance incentives and deepening comprehensive reform have effectively promoted the connotative development and quality improvement of colleges and universities.
It is reported that the "double first-class" construction colleges and disciplines adhere to the comprehensive evaluation and connotation development orientation. First-class universities build colleges and universities, comprehensively consider the overall goals of the school and the goals of discipline construction, and make overall arrangements for deployment; The construction of first-class disciplines in colleges and universities is to put construction disciplines at the center of construction planning, and it is also a long-term planning arrangement for the overall construction of disciplines in schools.
The difference between double first-class universities and 985 2 1 1 "double first-class" construction is another national strategy in the field of higher education in China after "21/project" and "985 project". According to Chen Baosheng, Minister of Education, "Double First-class" construction is not a copy of "2 1 1 Project" and "985 Project", nor an upgraded version, nor a cottage version. This is a brand-new plan.
Different from "985 Project" and "2 1 1 Project", "double first-class" construction is not "lifelong system". The construction of "double first-class" implements dynamic management and is supported by performance adjustment. The allocation of funds reflects excellent, strong and special support: appropriately increase support for strong implementation, good progress and obvious results; For those who are ineffective in implementation, slow in progress and ineffective, support should be appropriately reduced.
Will double first-class universities replace 985, 2 1 1 universities? At present, there are 2595 colleges and universities in China, 39 "985" colleges and universities, and "985" colleges and universities116 "2165438" colleges and universities (all "985" colleges and universities).
On the basis of continuing the national key investment of "985" and "2 1 1" projects, "double-first-class" can introduce certain variables into the stratification of universities that can only enter but not exit (although the general pattern cannot be changed), stimulate a new round of competition among universities of the same level and category, and bring the vision of keeping pace with the times in the setting of university quality standards. Usually, even the best policy, after years of stable implementation, will become more and more rigid and lose its vitality, and the game space of its policy loopholes will gradually open. Therefore, as a national higher education policy, the curtain call of "985", "2 1 1" and the inheritance of "double-class" are not only beneficial, but also necessary.
