高等教育集群发展视域下粤港澳大湾区高校办学自主权研究

The Autonomy of Higher Education from the Perspective of Development of Higher Education Clusters in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area

粤港澳大湾区作为我国一个既具地理意义,又有社会意义的区域概念,其如何治理是值得关注的新论题。高等教育集群发展是大湾区高等教育发展一个重要战略选择,在发展路向上,既有政府强力主导而形成的自上而下的发展态势,也有粤港澳三地历史原因和现实需求形成的自下而上的发展基础。就后者而言,高校依法落实并扩大办学自主权是促进三地高等教育协同合作、集群发展的必要前提和基础。目前,内地高校在办学自主权上的缺失,以致难以形成高等教育集群发展和各主体"主动而为"的内在动力,需进一步处理好政府统筹协调与高校自主办学的关系,在招生、学科专业设置、经费管理与使用、合作办学、科研管理、人事聘任等方面进行综合性改革,进一步扩大或落实高校办学自主权,为大湾区高等教育集群发展提供必要支持。

As a regional concept with both geographical and social significance in China,how to govern Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area(GBA)is a new and noteworthy topic for current research.The development of higher education clusters is an important strategic choice for GBA’s higher education,and there are two paths to achieve the strategic objectives:the first one is top-down development trend urged by the strong leadership of the government,the second one is bottom-up development foundation formed by historical reasons and realistic needs of Guangdong,Hong Kong and Macao.As for the latter one,the implementation and expansion of university autonomy in accordance with laws and regulations is the necessary premise and foundation to promote the cooperation and development of higher education clusters in GBA.However,as the reason of lacking autonomy of mainland universities,it is difficult to form an internal motive force of each initiative subjects for the development of higher education clusters.It is necessary to further deal with the relationship between the government’s overall coordination and the independent running of universities,carry out comprehensive reforms in enrollment,subject and specialty setting,fund management and use,cooperative running of schools,scientific research management,personnel appointment etc.Further more,it also needs to expand and implement university autonomy and provide necessary support for the development of higher education clusters in GBA.
