Some universities are called universities, why should some universities be called colleges?
With the cancellation of three universities for nationalities, more and more students can be promoted from junior college to undergraduate course. In this way, although the online rate of undergraduate applicants is increased every year, it also poses a problem for recruiters.

There is no difference between undergraduate and junior college, so many recruiters start to find fault with undergraduate. In this way, a debate between colleges and universities began. Although both of them belong to undergraduate or above, they are different. Many people's first impression will be that universities must be better than those so-called colleges, but they are not. The difference between the two is actually in various details, and the difference is quite big.

The first obvious difference is their enrollment. The national enrollment target for universities must be more than 8,000 students, but colleges don't need that many student targets, only 5,000 students are required, which is why they are called each other. The second obvious difference is their professional richness. Universities have high requirements for the completeness of majors, and they need to provide students with as many subjects as possible. It is required to reach more than three disciplines stipulated by the state.

However, universities are different. Although many majors are needed, there are not so many kinds. You can be very proficient in some majors, and you only need to set more than one subject stipulated by the state. In addition, universities and colleges have different requirements for teachers. The scope of a university is wider than that of a college, so there is no doubt that the faculty of a university is stronger than that of a college.

Teachers in universities pay attention not only to quantity, but also to quality. The state requires that at least 50% of university teachers have a postgraduate degree, which is very difficult. Unlike universities, universities don't have so high academic requirements for teachers. According to national regulations, if a college is to be established, the number of teachers should not be less than 280, so the quality of teachers in colleges and universities is different.

The state also has different regulations on the teaching level of colleges and universities. Although both of them need to have certain teaching strength, universities need to be much higher than colleges in teaching quality. The teaching achievements of universities need to win awards, and there are also requirements for the ranking of awards. Every year, the teaching achievements awarded by universities need to get the top one or two in the country or the whole province.

However, the college does not need it. Although there are requirements for winning prizes, there are actually no restrictions on ranking and level. In addition, the treatment of universities and colleges is different, and the state may allocate far more funds to universities each year than colleges. According to statistics, the public funds for a research in colleges and universities are at least 5 million yuan. The junior college may start at 1000 yuan, so there is a big difference between the two.

In fact, the reason for many children's shoes is that they don't understand in class, don't study after class, don't master the correct learning methods, and no matter how hard they try, they fall into a vicious circle of learning!

How to treat university education as the mother of modern universities, Humboldt University in Germany, founded in 18 10, initiated the idea of paying equal attention to teaching and scientific research. Since then, universities have gained more scientific spirit and promoted the development of science, technology and economy.

/kloc-At the end of 0/9, the University of Wisconsin incorporated its practical and utilitarian values into university education on the basis of learning from German experience, and added "social service" to the list of university functions. University education began to directly face the society, cultivate applied talents, and at the same time began to pay attention to the transformation and application of scientific research results.

It can be seen that throughout the historical evolution of universities, the functions undertaken by universities are becoming more and more diversified. At the same time, the objects of university education services are also expanding. Martin Trow, an American scholar, took the gross enrollment rate of higher education as an index and divided the development process of higher education into three stages: elite, popularization and popularization. When the gross enrollment rate of higher education is below 15%, it belongs to the elite education stage, 15%-50% is the popularization stage of higher education, and more than 50% is the popularization stage of higher education.

Since 1999 implemented the expansion of university enrollment, the scale of university education in China has expanded rapidly. With the popularization of higher education in China, problems such as the devaluation of university education, the difficulty of employment for university graduates, and the shortage of university students have frequently aroused social concern. We say that from the perspective of students and parents, the expansion of colleges and universities makes graduates' employment enter the buyer's market from the seller's market in the past; From the perspective of universities, the expansion of university enrollment also makes university services enter the buyer's market from the seller's market in the past.

Facing the challenges in the transition period, improving the quality of university education is the key. Modern university education is the highest stage of academic system, including junior college education, undergraduate education and postgraduate education. Among them, the government and social forces should pay more attention to junior college education and postgraduate education. For example, higher vocational colleges aim to help students find jobs. We should create a better environment for the development of higher vocational colleges, including more sufficient funds, greater policy support and more active image publicity.
