As a relatively new form of higher education, the Open University has a pivotal role in building an education system that serves lifelong learning for all and in achieving the ambitious goal of a learning nation. Celebrating the first 10th anniversary of the opening university in China, it is important to evaluate its achievements since its establishment to determine its current position and future development. The author believes that the following five questions are essential and worth considering:(1) what evaluation is the best evaluation of the Open University;(2) what evaluation should be the most important evaluation of the Open University;(3) what evaluation can best reflect the role and status of the Open University;(4) what evaluation can best promote the high-quality development of the Open University;and(5) what evaluation can best demonstrate the spiritual quality and social value of the Open University. It is important to use evaluation to promote development and to rationalize the core issues and tasks facing the Open University, which will be of great significance in gathering the strength of the Open University and in achieving systematic and significant development of the Open University.
