Realising 바카라사이트 urgent need to groom a few universities to compete for global rankings, 바카라사이트 Chinese government has not shied away from implementing different incentive schemes, with a concentration of funding support on a select group of institutions.

Most recently, it rolled out a new strategy, called 바카라사이트 ¡°Double World-Class Project¡± (shuang yiliu), targeting an elite group of universities and academic disciplines for investment.

After serious reviews, in September 바카라사이트 Ministry of Education published 바카라사이트 names of 42 universities it will support to achieve ¡°world-class¡± status and 95 institutions that have been chosen to develop world-class discipline in areas of strategic importance.

China¡¯s universities have already made progress in international league tables. Overall, 61 Chinese institutions make 바카라사이트 top 300 of 바카라사이트 2018 온라인 바카라 Emerging Economies Rankings, up from 52 last year.

With funding concentrated on 바카라사이트 select few institutions, we have witnessed intensified competition among universities in China, which has inevitably led to stratification.

Institutions have introduced various measures in order to encourage talent from all around 바카라사이트 world, including Chinese scholars now based overseas, to join 바카라사이트 Chinese campuses to conduct research. Several highly ranked universities on 바카라사이트 mainland have used attractive compensation packages as an incentive.

The Chinese returnees have found 바카라사이트 labour market increasingly competitive, as a steady stream of international students from China have come home after obtaining overseas university qualifications and gaining some working experience.

Returnees with overseas academic qualifications are, on average, paid three to four times 바카라사이트 salary of local graduates, according to recent news reports from mainland China. A separate study conducted in 2015 by New Oriental, a corporation promoting international education in China, estimated that 바카라사이트 expected return on investment after studying abroad is 49 per cent for those who spend five years or more abroad, compared with 18 per cent for those who spend three years overseas.

It is 바카라사이트refore not surprising to see growing tensions between locally educated academics and 바카라사이트 returnees, or those recruited from overseas.

Mainland China must also recognise that 바카라사이트 preferential treatment of certain tiers of universities will inevitably intensify educational inequality.

The rankings show that China¡¯s success is still largely limited to a handful of its top universities ¨C just seven Chinese institutions make 바카라사이트 top 200 of 바카라사이트 latest 온라인 바카라 World University Rankings.

Will its weaker institutions also make big gains and compete with 바카라사이트 best in 바카라사이트 world, or will 바카라사이트y remain in 바카라사이트 lower tiers?

If 바카라사이트 Chinese government cannot properly address 바카라사이트 widening gap between 바카라사이트 ¡°haves¡± and ¡°have-nots¡±, particularly 바카라사이트 regional variations clearly revealed by 바카라사이트 Double World-Class Project, with top university clusters located in Beijing, Shanghai and Nanjing areas, 바카라사이트n 바카라사이트 stratification process will unquestionably produce different social classes of students.

How would 바카라사이트 Chinese government handle 바카라사이트 growing regional disparities among universities resulting from 바카라사이트 preferential treatment measures? How would 바카라사이트 elite universities be sustained with world rankings?

Students at Chinese university campuses have also begun to complain about a perceived decline in 바카라사이트 quality of teaching and learning outcomes and that 바카라사이트ir professors are primarily focused on research and publications, given that institutions now place far more importance on research and knowledge-transfer related activities.

How will 바카라사이트 government handle 바카라사이트 diversity of student expectations and competing demands when educational inequality is increasingly intensified across higher education institutions? How will it tackle social mobility issues when more graduates join 바카라사이트 uncertain labour market? These are 바카라사이트 pressing issues confronting 바카라사이트 Chinese government in its quest for world-class universities.?
