Chapter 1848 - Desperate Head Effect
There are many colleges and universities similar to Tongqi University in Pujiang, such as Pujiang Normal University, Pujiang Institute of Technology, Pujiang Finance and Economics, Pujiang Ocean University and other universities, if placed in some provinces, it must be focused on support, but Pujiang City's resources are limited, basically can only ensure the investment of Aurora and Pujiang Jiaotong University, as well as Pujiang University, Pujiang University, Pujiang University is a merger of several little-known universities in Pujiang, the original strength ranks last in a university in Pujiang, but under the continuous large-scale investment of the Pujiang Municipal Government, Pujiang University has the largest area among Pujiang universities. It is also the most beautiful campus, the school's hardware facilities and treatment are also very good, the so-called rich and easy to do, soon began to catch up, although it can not catch up with the top universities, but it can also rank in the middle of a university, and its treatment is even envied by Pujiang Normal University, Pujiang University of Technology and other key universities.
With the strength of Tongqi University, it was able to compete for the top ten universities in the country a few years ago, but now it is a little difficult, and the ranking will fall all the way in the future, and then it will not be able to compete with the top ten. Universities like Pujiang Normal and Pujiang Institute of Technology could have been ranked around 20 steadily. As one of the strongest normal universities in the country, Pujiang Institute of Technology is also in cooperation with Central China University of Technology, Southern Institute of Technology, However, because there are too many famous schools in Pujiang City, the priority of financial support they get is too low, and the 985 project as a national first-class university of higher education will also consider the balance between various regions and provinces, so Pujiang Normal and Pujiang University of Technology have not been selected, on the contrary, some of the merged universities in other places, although the original strength is not very good, but as the best school in the province, it has been strongly supported by the province and the Ministry of Education, and some have successfully entered the 985, and the development speed is rapid, gradually catching up with and even widening the gap between such institutions as Pujiang Institute of Technology。
Tongqi University is now facing such a situation, high-quality resources have been sucked away by the top two famous universities, the third-ranked Tongqi University can only compete with Pujiang University, and the Pujiang Normal University and Pujiang Institute of Technology are even worse behind, and they can't even compete with Pujiang University. The situation of Pujiang Normal is a little better, after all, it is one of the best normal universities in China, and the state's support for normal colleges is also relatively large, although it was not able to enter the list of the previous phases of the 985 project, but in the end it was mixed in. The situation of Pujiang Institute of Technology is even worse, Pujiang Institute of Technology was once the strongest in China in the biochemistry major, and its predecessor was the Pujiang Institute of Chemical Technology, which included the best chemical talents in the country, and even now its biochemistry major is one of the best universities in China.
However, unlike the normal major, the major universities in biology and chemistry are developing, although the foundation of Pujiang University of Technology is very good, but the resources are not comparable to these famous schools, and the attraction of famous schools to talents is not comparable to that of Pujiang University of Technology. Even if the strength of Pujiang University of Technology is not inferior, the resources of famous schools are good, there are many projects, their scientific research conditions will be better, and the resounding name will attract great talents, and the talents of Pujiang University of Technology will continue to flow to these famous schools, and their own professional advantages are getting smaller and smaller.
Bao Feiyang said: "The strength of universities comes from two aspects, teaching and scientific research, Tongqi University has always been relatively strong in engineering, but Pujiang Jiaotong University and Aurora have also developed in an all-round way in recent years, and they have more ...... in government resources."
"Pingjing has included the expansion of higher education in the plan, and after the implementation this year, although it has brought some problems and confusion, the benefits are also huge, and with these benefits, I estimate that this policy will be implemented for a long time......," Bao Feiyang said with a smile.
Although the sharp increase in the number of students in colleges and universities has brought some trouble to the local government and universities, the pressure on the management of colleges and universities has increased, the teaching facilities have become more strained, some equipment has to be overloaded, and the workload of some faculty and staff has also increased...... But the benefits are also huge, the expansion of enrollment and the increase in tuition fees have increased the income of colleges and universities, and the financial allocation has also increased, and the life of colleges and universities is better, not as tight as before.
The large increase in students has also driven local consumption, which has become a rare bright color in the economic winter.
This is only the first year, and it is conceivable that when the scale of higher education continues to expand and the number of university students increases, the relevant changes will be even greater and the benefits will be even greater.
"However, the rapid expansion of higher education in a short period of time will also bring some problems, the biggest of which is the decline in the quality of teaching and the decline in the gold content of college students...... Bao Feiyang said.
"The 211 Project, which was launched in 95 years, is aimed at improving the teaching quality, scientific research, management level and school-running efficiency of colleges and universities, and in order to build a number of schools, disciplines or majors that are close to or reach the world's first-class universities at the beginning of the 21st century. Now after the expansion of the scale of higher education, on the one hand, the investment should be increased, on the other hand, high-quality resources are more concentrated in the head universities, after all, everyone is expanding, the strength of the head universities is stronger, the resources are better, and the expansion is faster, and the scale of the top 20 universities has doubled, which means that the quality of students from the original 21 to 40 colleges and universities will drop by 20 places compared with the original......
Bao Feiyang smiled and shook his head: "Of course, I just made a simple calculation, which is not accurate, but the trend is like this, only the best students in the past can go to college, everyone can get a point, and the best students will go to the best universities in the future, and it is difficult for ordinary universities to grab this part of the students." ”
Bao Feiyang said: "After the country's investment in higher education expands, it will definitely not be satisfied with the expansion of scale, and the goal of building a university with world-class teaching and scientific research level will not change." At present, the higher education community is worried that the continuous expansion of enrollment will reduce the teaching quality of colleges and universities, and Pingjing is also considering how to strengthen colleges and universities in the case of the expansion of higher education, and it is likely to launch an enhanced version of the 211 Project ......"
Bao Feiyang said: "This enhanced version of the 211 project is likely to only target the top universities, that is, the national and local governments will increase investment in the top universities, improve the teaching and scientific research capabilities of the top universities, and build the top universities into world-class universities." Ordinary colleges and universities are completely popularized, and the best resources will accelerate the flow to the top universities. After all, even if the country is willing to invest money, there are only so many good higher education resources, and it is impossible for everyone's level to be raised out of thin air, so it is an inevitable choice to build a head university and build a world-class university. As far as I know, including Tongqi University, Aurora University and Pujiang Jiaotong University are increasing the introduction of outstanding talents, right?"
Jiang Kaitai smiled bitterly and nodded: "The news of the head of the Bao district is really well-informed, among several key universities in Pujiang, Pujiang Jiaotong University has received the most support, even more than Aurora University, in order to introduce excellent teaching and scientific research talents, they have made a new policy, we can't help but follow up, otherwise not only can we not recruit people, but the faculty and staff of our own school will also be fluctuating." ”
Although Aurora is the top brand of Pujiang universities, Pujiang Jiaotong University's engineering is stronger, and it is easier for engineering to get projects. What's more, now the head of Pingjing is from Pujiang Jiaotong University, although in terms of normal financial allocation, Pujiang Jiaotong University can only be at the same level as Aurora at most, but when it comes to scientific research projects, Pujiang Jiaotong University has been more inclined to do so, so the development momentum of Pujiang Jiaotong University in recent years has been very violent, and there is a trend of entering the top three in the country.
"It's called pulling a hair and moving the whole body!"
Bao Feiyang said: "Pujiang Jiaotong University moves, Aurora and Tongqi University can only follow suit, you all move, Pujiang Normal University, Pujiang University of Science and Technology will also move, everyone must move, otherwise we can only watch outstanding talents flow to other universities!" However, excellent talents are always limited, and eventually high-quality resources will be concentrated in the head universities, of course, not all will run to the head universities, after all, the capacity of the head colleges and universities is also limited, and the competition is more intense. ”
Jiang Kaitai nodded: "The competition for the head will indeed be fierce, but we also have our own advantages with Qi University." What we have to consider now is how to expand our own advantages, in the case of limited resources, not to let ourselves fall behind, to get out of our own characteristics, and strive to make ourselves the head, so that we don't have to worry about this head effect!"
Bao Feiyang nodded: "Tongqi University is very strong in engineering, especially in architecture and mechanical disciplines, we have more cooperation between Huixun District and Jianyuan, and the cooperation is also very pleasant, I think we can continue to increase and deepen cooperation in this regard, our current planning in Huixun District, including the planning of the university town, is still being done by the construction of Tongqi University." ”
"I have talked to Secretary Zhang of Chundong New District, Huixun District as the hinterland of Chundong New District, is to make supporting and supplementing for the development of Chundong New District, although Huixun University Town is in Huixun, but next to Chundong, it is also a university town in Chundong, Chundong can be said to be the most popular construction hot spot in China, in addition to our Huixun District in addition to the University Town, Tianjiang Economic and Technological Development Zone, there are also international resorts, The construction plan of the World Exhibition, a blank sheet of paper to be drawn, and the ever-changing Chundong, may be the most suitable soil for the development of Tongqi University......"
