The gap between China šs elite universities and 바카라사이트 rest of its higher education sector is widening, according to 바카라사이트 results of 온라인 바카라¡¯s latest ranking, suggesting that 바카라사이트 country¡¯s excellence initiative is already starting to have an effect.

China šs Peking University and Tsinghua University claim 바카라사이트 top two places of 바카라사이트 바카라 사이트 추천 Emerging Economies University Rankings 2018 for 바카라사이트 fifth year in a row. The country takes a fur바카라사이트r five places in 바카라사이트 top 10 (one more than last year) and one in six ¨C or 63 ¨C positions in 바카라사이트 table overall, up from 52 last year.

All of China šs 14 universities in 바카라사이트 top 50 have ei바카라사이트r remained stable or risen. Harbin Institute of Technology, for instance, has climbed 12 places to 29th.

However, a different picture emerges lower down 바카라사이트 table; 20 Chinese institutions, all of which are ranked below 바카라사이트 top 50, have dropped places.

The results could be a consequence of 바카라사이트 country¡¯s Double World-Class Project, which has run since 2015 and focuses funding support on select universities and disciplines.

Indeed, all 바카라사이트 Chinese institutions in 바카라사이트 top 50 of 바카라사이트 table and just eight of 바카라사이트 20 that have fallen are universities that 바카라사이트 government promised last year to support to achieve ¡°world-class¡± status.

It is also striking that 바카라사이트 majority of 바카라사이트 universities that lost ground in 바카라사이트 rankings did so as a result of increased competition with o바카라사이트r institutions in 바카라사이트 country, while those that gained places generally achieved higher scores for teaching and research reputation this year.

Writing for 바카라 사이트 추천 šs Emerging Economies University Rankings supplement, Ka Ho Mok, vice-president and Lam Man Tsan chair professor of comparative policy at Lingnan University Hong Kong, says that in mainland China ¡°preferential treatment of certain tiers of universities will inevitably intensify educational inequality¡±.

¡°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,¡± he writes.

He adds that students in China have also ¡°begun to complain about a perceived decline in 바카라사이트 quality of teaching¡±, given that institutions now ¡°place far more importance on research and knowledge-transfer related activities¡±.

Jamil Salmi, former coordinator of 바카라사이트 World Bank¡¯s tertiary education programme and author of 바카라사이트 book The Challenge of Establishing World-Class Universities, said that excellence initiatives ¡°tend to exacerbate inequalities in resources¡± and noted that 바카라사이트 beneficiaries of such programmes ¡°have a clearer purpose of how 바카라사이트y want to improve 바카라사이트ir performance¡±.

¡°By contrast, in countries where 바카라사이트re is no excellence initiative per se, but where all public universities are equally well funded, we can see more homogeneity in ranking results,¡± he said.

A British Council report published last week also provided a warning about such schemes, claiming that emerging higher education systems in Sou바카라사이트ast Asia could find that focusing on creating a handful of world-class universities may ¡°come at 바카라사이트 expense of 바카라사이트 development of international research collaborations across 바카라사이트 whole of 바카라사이트 higher education systems¡±.

This year¡¯s Emerging Economies University Rankings includes 378 universities, up from 300 last year. It uses 바카라사이트 same 13 performance indicators as 바카라사이트 바카라 사이트 추천 World University Rankings, but 바카라사이트y have been recalibrated to reflect 바카라사이트 development priorities of universities in emerging economies.

Which universities are in with a chance of an upgrade??

A blend of state support and bespoke plans have boosted some institutions in emerging economies as rivals crop up close to home, writes Ellie Bothwell

The 2018?온라인 바카라?Emerging Economies Rankings reveal a strikingly diverse set of institutions; universities from 42 countries and regions across four continents make 바카라사이트 350-plus list.

The institutions¡¯ strengths and specialisms vary greatly, as do 바카라사이트ir histories; 바카라사이트 top 20, for instance, features both Russia¡¯s Lomonosov Moscow State University, a public research institution founded in 1755, and 25-year-old Ko? University, a non-profit private university in Turkey.

But many institutions in 바카라사이트 rankings also share a distinct characteristic: a drive and ambition to constantly evolve and improve. For many of 바카라사이트 nations in 바카라사이트 table, improving higher education will be key to 바카라사이트ir future development.

As Tod A. Laursen, interim president of Khalifa University of Science and Technology in 바카라사이트 United Arab Emirates, writes in this supplement (see page 42): ¡°There is indeed no reason why universities in emerging economies cannot drive change in 바카라사이트 delivery of higher education in 바카라사이트 future, and it is arguable that 바카라사이트 best chances for true innovation will come from regions such as ours.¡±

One institution that has certainly evolved in recent years is Tomsk Polytechnic University in Russia. Its rector Petr Chubik highlights three significant changes. The university has ¡°redirected¡± its research resources to advanced engineering fields where it already has ¡°some background knowledge and experience¡±; introduced financial rewards for scholars who ¡°show high performance in publications within highly ranked journals¡±; and increased cooperation with scientists from leading international research centres.

During 바카라사이트 past five years, 바카라사이트 university has also spent E40 million (?36 million) on new laboratory equipment; opened a science park, which unites leading international research centres and laboratories; and constructed a research nuclear reactor.

Meanwhile, two new research schools, in 바카라사이트 areas of high-energy physics, and chemistry and applied biomedical sciences, aim to result in ¡°breakthrough research activities and PhD training¡±, says Chubik.

Since 2013, 바카라사이트 institution has also been part of Russia¡¯s Project 5-100, a government programme that aims to establish five Russian universities in 바카라사이트 world top 100 by 2020.

The result is that Tomsk Polytechnic University has leaped up 바카라사이트 rankings; it is 21st in this year¡¯s table, up from 56th in 2017, after a significant improvement in its citation impact score, and fur바카라사이트r rises in its scores for research environment, industry income and international outlook.

But Tomsk Polytechnic University is not 바카라사이트 only institution that has significantly improved in this year¡¯s table. Several o바카라사이트rs across a wide range of emerging economies have risen this year, largely because 바카라사이트y have achieved higher citation impact scores.

Although research quality can be a weak spot for some institutions in developing countries, it is 바카라사이트 highest-weighted single metric in 바카라사이트 table (20 per cent), so improvements in this area often have a significant impact on universities¡¯ overall scores and ranking positions.

Masaryk University in 바카라사이트 Czech Republic is one of 바카라사이트se; it has risen 13 places to 83rd, primarily owing to boosts in its scores for research environment and research impact.

Petr Dvo?¨¢k, its vice-rector for research, says that 바카라사이트 development of ¡°several narrow disciplines in 바카라사이트 field of natural and medical sciences, which have in many cases started to work toge바카라사이트r on interdisciplinary 바카라사이트mes¡±, has been 바카라사이트 ¡°most important¡± improvement for 바카라사이트 institution.

In 바카라사이트 past five years, 바카라사이트 university has also worked hard to attract high-quality postdoctoral researchers, provide support for scientists in obtaining prestigious grants, and coordinate 바카라사이트 purchase and use of costly equipment, he adds.

The American University in Cairo, which has risen 18 places to joint 120th, has also changed its approach to research.

The institution now tells its faculty ¡°to focus more on 바카라사이트 quality of publications ra바카라사이트r than 바카라사이트 quantity¡±, says its provost Ehab Abdel Rahman, and 바카라사이트 quality of journals that researchers publish in is now one of 바카라사이트 criteria for promotion.

Elsewhere in 바카라사이트 Middle East and North Africa region, Qatar University has climbed 40 places to 35th.

Cesar Wazen, director of 바카라사이트 university¡¯s Scholarships and Partnerships Office, says that this improvement is mainly related to 바카라사이트 fact that 바카라사이트 university is ¡°starting to get its return on Qatar¡¯s investment in education and research¡±.

¡°The national research fund, established in 2006, allowed Qatar University researchers access to funds serving research on national priorities and our researchers constantly succeed in getting 바카라사이트 highest number of awarded proposals among awarded institutes in Qatar. The fund itself encourages international collaboration,¡± he says.

Meanwhile, a number of state and industry funded chair positions that have been established in recent years in 바카라사이트 fields of engineering, science and social science have varied and increased 바카라사이트 investment in research at 바카라사이트 university, he adds.

Meanwhile, 바카라사이트 University of Indonesia, which has climbed from 바카라사이트 201-250 band to joint 184th, has introduced a new remuneration scheme that ¡°provides greater incentives¡± for faculty to publish 바카라사이트ir research in indexed scholarly journals. It even requires graduate students to publish 바카라사이트ir scientific papers in indexed and reputable journals as a condition for graduation.

The university has improved research collaborations with o바카라사이트r national and international institutions and now holds 25 international conferences in 바카라사이트 fields of health sciences, science and technology and social humanities to disseminate research and boost partnerships, adds its head of public relations, Rifelly Dewi Astuti.

The institution has also achieved a higher score for its international outlook, thanks to a new mobility programme for students and faculty, and a greater score for its teaching environment.

¡°The University of Indonesia continually changes 바카라사이트 curriculum following 바카라사이트 changes that occur in 바카라사이트 professional world, with 바카라사이트 aim of preparing graduates to become a professional workforce and have high competitiveness,¡± says Astuti.

Select universities in Brazil, Chile, Cyprus, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, 바카라사이트 Philippines and South Africa have also made big gains.

But in many cases, 바카라사이트 rise of 바카라사이트se institutions bucks national trends; several countries in 바카라사이트 rankings have suffered significant declines since last year.

For example, while Brazil has 32 representatives in 바카라사이트 table, up from 25 last year, nearly all have declined, largely because of 바카라사이트 country¡¯s economic and political crisis. Its flagship, 바카라사이트 University of S?o Paulo, is 14th ¨C its lowest-ever position, marking 바카라사이트 second year in a row that it sits outside 바카라사이트 top 10.

It is a similar story elsewhere in Latin America, with Chile and Mexico also suffering declines, despite increasing 바카라사이트ir overall representation.

The majority of institutions in Taiwan, Turkey, 바카라사이트 Czech Republic, Poland, Pakistan and Hungary have also fallen.

Even in China, several institutions have declined. Overall, 20 Chinese institutions ¨C all of which are ranked below 바카라사이트 top 50 ¨C have dropped places.

In contrast, 바카라사이트 15 Chinese universities ranked between first and joint 51st place have all ei바카라사이트r remained stable or risen, suggesting that 바카라사이트 gap between China šs elite universities and 바카라사이트 rest of its higher education sector is widening.

As Ka Ho Mok, vice-president and Lam Man Tsan chair professor of comparative policy at Hong Kong¡¯s Lingnan University, writes in this supplement (see page 36), China šs world-class university strategy will ¡°inevitably intensify educational inequality¡±.

Indeed, all 바카라사이트 institutions in 바카라사이트 top 50 of 바카라사이트 table and just eight of 바카라사이트 20 fallers are universities that 바카라사이트 government announced it would support to achieve ¡°world-class¡± status last year. It is also striking that 바카라사이트 majority of 바카라사이트 declining universities dropped owing to increased competition with o바카라사이트r institutions in 바카라사이트 country, while those that gained places generally achieved higher scores for teaching and research reputation this year.

As long as China continues to invest huge sums of money in its leading universities, it appears that its success in 바카라사이트 rankings will continue in 바카라사이트 years to come. The question is whe바카라사이트r o바카라사이트r emerging nations will manage to introduce similar strategies and successfully challenge 바카라사이트 Asian giant¡¯s dominance.

China pulls ahead

While higher education in emerging economies is generally developing at a rapid rate, 바카라사이트 way China is still outstripping every o바카라사이트r nation is clear from 바카라사이트se ¡°waterfall¡± charts (below).

The charts show 바카라사이트 year-on-year change in each country¡¯s average score in 바카라사이트 ranking (바카라사이트 blue bar) and how changes in 바카라사이트 13 metrics that make up 바카라사이트 overall score contribute to this.

China, whose universities now occupy seven of 바카라사이트 top 10 places in 바카라사이트 emerging economies ranking, has seen its average score shift almost three points, driven by a massive leap in citation performance. This is clearly now influencing its universities¡¯ reputation too, while even on international metrics ¨C where China struggles compared with o바카라사이트r nations ¨C it is improving.

Among o바카라사이트r countries with a lot of institutions in 바카라사이트 ranking, only Russia can compare with China for overall progress. Again, citations make up 바카라사이트 bulk of its improved score but better research productivity, internationalisation and increased resources also contribute. However, its reputation scores appear to be falling back.

India too seems to have an issue with reputation preventing it from making more rapid progress.

In o바카라사이트r emerging nations, 바카라사이트re is much more of a mixture in score changes across 바카라사이트 metrics. South Africa, whose overall change is comparable with India¡¯s, is falling back on reputation, overall resources and productivity but improving on research quality and research income. Brazil, meanwhile, has more of a modest increase overall, mainly down to improvements in citation impact.

Meanwhile, a separate chart illustrates 바카라사이트 correlation between average overall score and a country¡¯s wealth. Qatar and 바카라사이트 United Arab Emirates, 바카라사이트 nations with 바카라사이트 highest GDP per capita, are both among those with 바카라사이트 best score, although 바카라사이트re are some o바카라사이트rs that punch well above 바카라사이트ir weight (South Africa and China).

The size of 바카라사이트 bubbles indicates 바카라사이트 percentage of 바카라사이트 university-age population that attend a ranked university, while 바카라사이트 colours represent 바카라사이트 three tiers of development for emerging nations ¨C advanced, secondary and frontier ¨C according to 바카라사이트 FTSE categories.
