Universities are higher education institutions in every country and play an important role in their respective countries. All kinds of university rankings are dazzling, but an indisputable fact is that China, with the second economic status in the world, all top universities are backward in the world ranking. What's the matter?
First, the right to speak.
Whether you admit it or not, the mainstream voice of the world is still in the hands of western developed countries. When he ranked the world's universities, it can be said that he implemented an "academic hegemony". Since there are different races, different cultures and different ideologies, it is certainly impossible for Chinese universities to rank high, otherwise it will add congestion to others!
Secondly, the leading orientation is different.
In contrast, the leading force of famous western universities is money, people are interested in naked interests, and economic interests are the inexhaustible driving force for the continuous research and development of universities. Correspondingly, Chinese universities are more dominated by politics. It is more appropriate to prepare politicians than educators. The relationship between politicians is different from them. They care more about power and dominance.
Thirdly, the development status is different.
In fact, it is because educational institutions in western countries pay more attention to the combination of "industry, University and research", so the research results are very fruitful and brilliant. However, in contrast to domestic universities, there is always a smell of making cars behind closed doors. Many studies even lie in the personal interests of "experts". In the end, whether they succeed or not, the greater result is to put them on the shelf and eat ash.
In fact, the purpose of education is indeed to teach and educate people, but now domestic universities are different. It seems that they care more about only a reputation, or some only have naked interests. It's like spending astronomical amounts of money every year for the addition of some "foreign garbage" and for an indicator of "internationalization". As everyone knows, this is really a matter of seeking fish from trees. Internationalization is about taking the initiative to attract people, not rushing to send money to school partners to send warm ones.
Now the university education mode of Yan jinkuan out is also very criticized. College enrollment was originally to choose the best from the best, but after arriving at the University, it was really herding sheep, and many good students were raised and abandoned. Finally, after graduation, they get nothing except a diploma. One thing I have to say is that college education is divorced from society. Many graduates simply can't meet the needs of enterprises. What people want is to be able to start working, but these inexperienced people often need some training time, which is a great waste.
Finally, we have to say that a good scholar is an official. This golden rule passed down from the past generations has deeply bound us until now. In such an environment, I mistakenly pursue the so-called comprehensive undergraduate education, but despise the college education, and many colleges are also full of chaos. It can be said that such education does deviate from reality. In such a huge country as China, there are enough comprehensive undergraduate universities. What should be more is to guide and develop vocational education to meet the social needs that are becoming more and more important. The development of vocational education can also promote the development of undergraduate education, which is a good way.
In the final analysis, the ranking of world universities is a contest of soft power, which is based on the details of vertical power. In the increasingly fierce competition situation, it is not practical to rely on cultural competition to gain the upper hand, because soft power is somewhat virtual after all, and only real scientific and technological strength is real. Only when the strength driven by science and technology really dominates the world, the mere university ranking is just a false name. The greater possibility is that people are rushing to come up to praise you at the meeting!
