第四次转型:中国高等教育从大到强的必然选择

The Fourth Transition: The Inevitable Choice for Higher Education in China to Become Strong from Large

根据参照系和学习对象的不同,我国现代意义的高等教育建立一百多年来,共经历了三次大的历史性转型。当前,无论从我国的高等教育理念、社会整体转型的现状来看,还是从我国经济社会高质量发展,以及2035教育现代化远景来看,乃至从第四次工业革命,以及其他国家对我国科技的"卡脖子"来看,我国高等教育都需要第四次转型,这是我国高等教育从大到强的必然选择。我们已经做了一百多年的"学生",交了一百多年的学费,是时候建立属于我国自己的高等教育"模型"了。高等教育第四次转型,是不同以往的具有重大历史意义的转型,是从学习他国向"学习自己"的转型,是建立中国高等教育本土化模式的转型,是我国高等教育从大国向强国的转型。实现第四次转型,需对现有高等教育理念、高等教育结构形态以及运行模式等进行方向性、整体性、根本性变革。

According to the different reference system and learning object, modern higher education in China has undergone three historic transformations since its establishment more than 100 years ago. At the moment, no matter from the concept of higher education, the current situation of the transformation of the society as a whole in our country, or from Chinese economic and social development of high quality, and vision of education modernization by 2035, and even from the fourth industrial revolution, and other countries’ stranglehold on our technology, we need to speed up the pace of the fourth transition, which is necessary for higher education in China to become strong from large. We have been students for more than a hundred years, paying tuition for more than a hundred years, it is time to build our own"model"of higher education. The fourth transition of higher education is different from the past and of great historical significance. It is the transformation from learning other countries to"learning oneself", the transformation of establishing the localization model of Chinese higher education, and the transformation of Chinese higher education from a big country to a strong country. We should seize the opportunity,do a good job in top-level design, and promote the fourth transition actively. To realize the fourth transition, we need to make directional, holistic, and fundamental changes to the current concept, structure, and operation mode of higher education.
