Some special difficulties and problems rise in the course of economic transition, and exhort us that it has been of great urgency to carry out a reform of higher engineering education. Here are put forward six measures: to explore training patterns of such an education suited to China’s national conditions; to improve university system: to transform educational ideology, and reform educational contents and methods; to establish a system of cooperation of engineering universities and colleges with industries; to strengthen construction of teacher contingent in engineering universities and colleges; and to carry out testing work of continuing engineering education and training education.展开更多

China’s higher medical education was very backward. In the 20 years before 1949. graduates from institutions of higher medical education totalled less than 10 000. In 1949. there were only 44 medical and pharmaceutical schools with 18 800 undergraduates. The higher medical education has taken a tortuous course of development after the founding of the People’s Republic of China. The first phase (1949-1965) was a period of prelimi-nary formation of medical education system of new China. During this period, the experience of the former Soviet Union was followed in determining the objectives of higher medical education, the length of the curriculum, specialties, the structure of the curriculum, the contents of teaching, etc. and a preliminary system was instituted. The second phase (1966-1976) was a time of chaos during which the normal educational program was disrupted. The third phase started in 1977. The wrong line was re展开更多
