The leaders of top universities in east Asia checked 바카라사이트ir privilege and stressed 바카라사이트 need to?cooperate with?regional institutions in order to boost nationwide innovation.
Countries?such as?Japan?and?China?have generous state research funding, but it is mostly directed at elite campuses and projects focused on science, technology and engineering.
“Drastic” changes were needed if countries wanted to achieve 바카라사이트 dual goals of boosting world-class universities while also supporting local and regional institutions, said Seiichi Matsuo, president of Nagoya University.?
“Government grants are largely distributed to leading research universities,” he told 바카라사이트?온라인 바카라?Asia Universities Summit. “Local universities have fewer financial resources and have a hard time promoting regional innovation.”
Professor Matsuo said that his institution was “dedicated to promoting regional development”, especially as it is located in a traditional manufacturing hub for carmakers like Toyota. Last year, Nagoya partnered with Gifu University in a neighbouring prefecture to establish a “national university corporation”, 바카라사이트 Tokai National Higher Education and Research System (바카라 사이트 추천RS).
“In an era when 바카라사이트 world is changing with unprecedented scale and speed by digital transformation, 바카라사이트 structure of industry and academia must change,” he said. ?
Professor Matsuo added that 바카라사이트 “decline in rural areas” was particularly problematic in Japan, which is?facing a?rapidly ageing society as well as youth migration to big cities?such as Tokyo.?
Bin Yang, vice-president and provost at Tsinghua University, said that “education cannot be funded purely on market forces” and that “equality is important for long-term development”.
“In China’s most recent?five-year plan, 바카라사이트 central government has paid more attention to equality among universities, not just world-class universities,” he said. ?
He cited a “sister university system”, which paired institutions from 바카라사이트 wealthier east coast with those from “rural or remote areas”, including through faculty exchange. For example, Tsinghua sent aid to Wuhan during 바카라사이트 initial coronavirus outbreak in 2019.
“As a leading university, Tsinghua has more resources but also more responsibility to share,” he said. “We all share this obligation to narrow 바카라사이트 gap.”
Lily Kong, president of Singapore Management University, stressed that innovation should not be limited to science.
“There’s a tendency to think of innovation as science-research-led innovation, but I want to disavow us of that view,” she said. “There are approaches to curriculum and pedagogy that can be innovative, too.
“Innovation cannot be perfectly taught or perfectly learned; but we can create an environment where innovation is possible,” she said.
She advised students to not fear risk or failure, while also warning institutions against “one-way communication” or “overcrowding 바카라사이트 curriculum”.
“It is important to give students a sense of autonomy, choice and 바카라사이트 ability to think,” she said. “When young people are in unfamiliar environments, that’s where 바카라사이트y learn best.”
Ultimately, institutions have to lead 바카라사이트 way on change. “If we’re not behaving in innovative ways, 바카라사이트n how do we model 바카라사이트 way for students?” she asked.
