After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the development level of various fields of our country's society has continued to improve. In order to help the motherland obtain better development prospects in the future, the issue of higher education has been highly valued by relevant departments.
For any country in the world, the importance of higher education is self-evident. With the changes in society, in order to help the world have a more thorough understanding of various institutions of higher learning, relevant institutions have also begun to conduct research on various institutions of higher learning. Ranking based on comprehensive school running strength.
Although for most people, the ranking of colleges and universities is an important basis for us to understand colleges and universities, with the continuous development of ranking institutions, the ranking determinants of various colleges and universities have become more and more complex. For some universities that want to devote themselves to professional research, they are not willing to distract their energy for external rankings.
Recently, my country's three 985 universities have officially announced that they will withdraw from the world university rankings in the future. The reason why they made this decision is to calm down and engage in scientific research.
The importance of world rankings to institutions of higher learning
As mentioned earlier, the reason why many institutions of higher learning attach so much importance to world university rankings is also because of the importance of such rankings to the development of schools.
believes that many people will have a detailed understanding of various colleges and universities before applying for admission. In the process of analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of each school, the world university ranking list is the top priority.
Because of this, in order to be at the forefront of the world's higher education institutions, many institutions will also devote most of their energy to publishing a large number of papers. In this case, many universities are in the process of publishing papers. , they will only focus on quantity rather than quantity. Over time, although the university's ranking may become better and better, its educational level will be greatly reduced.
Not only that, in order to obtain better rankings, many colleges and universities will use "funding" as an excuse and spend a lot of money to purchase opportunities at the top of the rankings. It can be seen that in the context of today's era, there is already a lot of water in the rankings of colleges and universities, and it is not worthy of complete belief.
Various shortcomings in the ranking process of colleges and universities
After understanding many colleges and universities, we can find that among many colleges and universities, some colleges and universities are comprehensive universities , and some colleges and universities are professional colleges and universities. In addition, military colleges and medical colleges are also special.
If all colleges and universities are mixed together for ranking, it will lead to different ranking standards for different colleges and universities. In this case, it will be difficult for some professional colleges and universities to play their due role in the comprehensive ranking list. Advantages, thereby obtaining better ranking results.
Three 985 universities announced their withdrawal from the World University Rankings
Recently, Renmin University of China stated that starting from 2022, it will not provide relevant scientific research and teaching data to any World University ranking companies, and Nanjing University It also issued an official document and stated that in the coming days, it will not use any international rankings as the school's key construction goals.
In addition to these two 985 universities, in 2021, Lanzhou University also publicly stated that it would officially withdraw from the Times Higher Education University Rankings, which also means that Lanzhou University will not appear in this category in the future. Ranking list of colleges and universities.
Looking at the rankings of domestic universities, we will find that Nanjing University ranks among the top ten universities in my country, while Renmin University of China is among the top three liberal arts universities. Finally, Lanzhou University’s chemistry major is absolutely This advantage also makes many students who hope to continue their studies in the field of chemistry regard Lanzhou University as their dream school.
Conclusion:
For these three institutions of higher learning, after officially withdrawing from the world university rankings , they will have more time and energy to spend in the field of scientific research, so as to ensure that the institutions' own construction level is stable. promote.
In my opinion, although these three 985 universities will lose the opportunity to stand out in various rankings after withdrawing from the world university rankings, in the long run, the comprehensive strength of these three institutions will also be in Achieve higher levels of improvement in a short period of time.
believes that in the days to come, these three schools will also become role models for other institutions, and based on the joint efforts of various institutions, the development level of my country's higher education will also be further improved.
