2 1 1 Project refers to 1995 a plan initiated by the people and the Ministry of Education of China to improve the level of domestic higher education, including 100 key institutions of higher learning, with the aim of improving the overall strength and competitiveness of China's higher education by optimizing the allocation of resources.

Shanghai University is a comprehensive university, founded in 1922 and formerly known as Soochow University in Jiangsu Province. The school is located in Baoshan District, Shanghai, covering an area of nearly 4,000 mu. It has 20 colleges and 7 research institutes, offering nearly 65,438+000 undergraduate majors and more than 30 authorized categories of master's and doctoral degrees.

Shanghai University has entered the "2 1 1 Project" list, but its school-running strength and teaching quality have been recognized and highly praised by the society. In recent years, the discipline construction of the school has been continuously strengthened, and the level of postgraduate education and scientific research has been continuously improved.

According to the QS World University Ranking, Shanghai University ranks 20th1-250th among Asian universities in 202 1, and has always been in the forefront of Chinese mainland's comprehensive ranking. 2 1 1 Project is an important measure to improve the quality and competitiveness of domestic higher education.

It has played an important role in promoting the reform of China's higher education system, optimizing the allocation of resources and improving the quality of education. In addition to the government's support and concern, it has also aroused widespread concern and evaluation from all walks of life.

However, some people think that there may be some problems in the implementation of 2 1 1 project, such as excessive pursuit of superficial figures and neglect of education quality, resulting in unfair education among regions. Although "2 1 1 project" is a concrete measure to improve the quality of higher education, the level and strength of a university can not be fully reflected by ranking or title alone.

Many non-2 1 1 engineering universities also have a high level of teaching and research, and may have more advantages in some specific fields. Therefore, when evaluating and selecting colleges and universities, we should comprehensively consider many factors such as teaching staff, discipline construction, teaching quality, campus culture and so on.
