“无为而治”引领高等教育“供给侧”改革

“Noninterference” to Lead the Higher Education of Reforming the Supply Side

与经济改革相似,我国高等教育也面临供给侧改革的任务。市场经济背景下,传统高等教育走的是需求侧改革之路,高等教育宏观结构的形成是政府与高校基于资源的分配与争夺而展开博弈的结果。从现代语境重新审视老子"无为而治"思想,为我国高等教育"供给侧"改革提供新的思路,即要以政府"无为"、高校"有为"的理念引领高等教育"供给侧"改革,政府宏观调控管理,高校相对独立办学;建立健全问责机制,形成良好运行秩序;优化高等教育结构,注重内涵发展,促进供需平衡。

Similar to the economic reform, China’s higher education is facing the task of reforming the supply side. Under the market economy, the traditional higher education was on the way of reforming the demand side.The government and universities competed for resources allocation,which resulted in formation of macro structure of higher education. To modern eyes, Laozi’s idea of 'noninterference' can provide new ideas for the reform of higher education in our country’s 'supply side'. That is, taking on the ideas of government’s 'inaction' and universities’ 'action' to lead the reform of higher education 'supply side'.The government should be on the road of macroeconomic regulation and control, making sure of the independence of universities; we should establish the accountability mechanism and form a good public order; we should improve the structure of higher education and pay more attention to the connotation development to promote the balance between supply and demand.
