英国高校自主招生的实践及其启示

Practice of University-Determination Recruitment System in the UK and Its Enlightenment

英国设有全国性招生服务机构——高等院校招生服务处(UCAS),但其主要职能是为相关各方提供服务;高校在招生录取时享有充分的自主权,同时要接受严格的监督。英国政府历来没有举行全国统一高校招生考试的传统,一般高校也不单独组织考试,高校招生选拔的主要依据是学生通过各种类型学习所获得的校外考试机构主考的资格证书,同时,对申请人进行综合考评,实行的是证书与综合考评相结合的高校招生选拔制度。英国高校自主招生的经验有可借鉴之处。

Although there is the central organization of UCAS in the UK through which applications are processed for entry to higher education, its main responsibility is to provide services to applicants, advisory services, schools, colleges and universities. It is colleges and universities that make the final decisions in the recruitment process, but they are strictly regulated. Traditionally, the government and HE institutes don＇t offer admission examinations in the UK, and HE institutes admission requirements are mainly various types of qualifications offered by external awarding bodies, as well as a holistic Assessment. It gives us enlightenment in establishing the selective system by assessing applicants through both total scores of national entrance examinations and a holistie Assessment in our country.
