The "Nine Schools Alliance" opens a new situation in talent training
It can be seen from the content of the agreement，The "Nine Schools Alliance" will undoubtedly open up a new situation in talent training，Play a demonstration and leading role in the future talent training of our country。
Although my country’s universities currently have outstanding achievements in talent cultivation，But there are still some bottlenecks。Keynote speeches delivered by the presidents of nine universities at this meeting，There are discussions about this。
Peking University President Zhou Qifeng said，A survey from Peking University shows，83% of students are interested in interdisciplinary learning。Zhou Qifeng expressed，This is it，Peking University has established a cross-department training system，Focus on cultivating students’ comprehensive qualities。Then，From the "Nine Schools Alliance" Agreement，From now on，Not only Peking University，Students from nine universities will appear in the nine universities because of the new role of "exchange students"，To achieve better interdisciplinarity，And can study across schools。Exchange student，This term used to exist only among Chinese and foreign universities，Will be expanded to domestic universities in the future，When undergraduate students from the “Nine-University Alliance” universities want to take a certain course from another university in the alliance，He only needs to apply to the academic affairs office of the other university，The other university will consider responding to its application based on the number of students and other factors，Application approved，Students can study at the other university，After completing the credits，Go back to the original university，The original school will recognize his course grades and credits。
Gu Binglin, President of Tsinghua University, bet365 games best slotsraised some misunderstandings in domestic universities in his keynote speech: some teachers consider hiring people more than educating people，Some students pursue degrees more than knowledge，Some school cadres protect officials、I care more about promotion than governance and reform，Some school decisions are based on the desire for short-term resources rather than the consideration of long-term education；Compare with American students，The level of interaction between teachers and students in domestic universities is obviously at a disadvantage。From the "Nine Schools Alliance" Agreement，The alliance will promote teachers，For example, the teacher in a certain university does not teach a certain course very well，There will be many students applying to the best teachers for this course among the nine universities，This will put pressure on the teacher teaching this course，Thereby promoting its improvement。
Also，According to the "Nine Schools Alliance" Agreement，Each school encourages its students to apply for graduate studies at other universities in the alliance，Master’s degree graduates are also encouraged to study for doctoral degrees at other universities in the alliance，This will, to some extent, play a role in solving the phenomenon of “inbreeding” in colleges and universities。
The "Nine-University Alliance" aims to create a world-class university
Have to admit，Building a world-class university is the goal that the nine “985” universities must strive for。Nine Schools Alliance，This is also the intention。
The "Nine Schools Alliance" will provide students with a broad platform to study，And will promote teacher exchanges，Improve teaching quality。At the same time，The alliance also makes it possible to realize the unique ideas in the heads of the heads of universities，For example, establishing a digital fast track；Conduct regular remote strategy seminars for principals；Sharing famous teachers and excellent online course resources, etc.，To achieve win-win cooperation。
Gu Binglin thinks，A century of higher education in China，Always exploring the path of higher education modernization with Chinese characteristics。Now，Universities are increasingly involved in the social development process，The relationship between the university and society needs to be updated，The concepts and methods of cultivating people in universities bet365 online sports betting appalso need to be updated，Universities must improve efficiency、Highlight individuality、Form competitive advantage。
Zhang Jie, President of Shanghai Jiao Tong University said，The "Nine School Alliance" is by no means simply imitating the United States，Establishing the so-called Chinese-style "Ivy League"。Just like China’s economic development has developed its own characteristics，The "Nine School Alliance" also has its own characteristics and rhythm。The "Ivy League" begins with the sharing of sportsmanship，Harvard、Yale and other 8 schools initially held sports competitions between schools，After a long time，Formed the “Ivy League”，This is its characteristic。The characteristic of China’s “Nine Schools Alliance” is that we believe China’s higher education has developed to such an extent，Need to combine the strengths of several similar universities，Communicate with each other，Gain experience from each other，Gradually use joint efforts to create our experience in building a world-class university in China，While creating the spirit of our university。
On the other hand，The "Nine Schools Alliance" is also in line with the current trend of higher education development in the world。Lao Kaisheng, Director of the Institute of Educational Policy and Law, School of Education, Beijing Normal University said，From the perspective of the development of higher education in the world，Inter-university alliance，Via Resource Sharing，Can create the possibility of better learning for students，At the same time, it also promotes exchanges between schools，Make better use of high-quality higher education resources。Judging from these advantages，University alliances may develop into a trend in running universities in the future，It may also become the development direction of China’s higher education。
