On Oct. 26, Senior Researcher Lin from Fujian Educational Department gave a lecture to the college faculty entitled “China's supply front reform and higher educational reform”. Lin first made analysis on the five structural problems of Chinese higher education such as lack of strategic focus, shortage of high quality educational resources, institutional homogenization, neglect of student centered pedagogy, and little effects on former reforms. He then pointed out that higher educational reform should address issues of the gap between academia and industry as well as disjoint of learning and use. He also suggested higher education reform should be undertaken to optimize the allocation of resources and highlight the performance management, to pad short board and develop higher education brand, to resolve the excess capacity and control the size of higher education, to improve the supply quality and promote balance of supply and demand, and to resolve supply and demand contradiction and enhance effective supply.
