Synergistically Promoting High-Quality Development and High-Efficiency Governance in Higher Education Institutions
何秀超:协同推进高校高质量发展与高效能治理
High-quality development and high-efficiency governance are important driving forces for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. General Secretary Xi Jinping has emphasized that “high-quality development is not merely an economic requirement, but a general requirement for all aspects of economic and social development,” and that we must “purposefully deploy major plans, major reforms, and major policies that have a traction effect on high-quality development and high-efficiency governance.” High-quality development is the theme of China’s current economic and social development, and high-efficiency governance, as a component of the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, is an important guarantee for achieving high-quality development. Higher education institutions shoulder the sacred mission of educating people for the Party and cultivating talent for the country, and bear important responsibilities such as scientific and technological innovation, cultural heritage, and serving society. The synergistic promotion of high-quality development and high-efficiency governance by higher education institutions is not only an inherent requirement for deepening the comprehensive reform of higher education in the New Era, but also a powerful driving force for accelerating the construction of a strong educational nation.
高质量发展与高效能治理是实现中华民族伟大复兴的重要驱动力。习近平总书记强调,“高质量发展不只是一个经济要求,而是对经济社会发展方方面面的总要求”,要“有针对性地部署对高质量发展、高效能治理具有牵引性的重大规划、重大改革、重大政策”。高质量发展是当前我国经济社会发展的主题,高效能治理作为国家治理体系和治理能力现代化的内容,是实现高质量发展的重要保障。高校肩负着为党育人、为国育才的神圣使命,承载着科技创新、文化传承、服务社会等重要职责。高校协同推进高质量发展与高效能治理,不仅是推进新时代高等教育综合改革的内在要求,更是加快建设教育强国的强大动力。
1. The Inherent Requirements for Higher Education Institutions to Promote High-Quality Development
1.高校推动高质量发展的内在要求
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: “We must highlight the orientation of cultivating first-class talent, serving national strategic needs, and striving for world-class status, deepen the reform of systems and mechanisms, and comprehensively advance and categorically build first-class universities and first-class disciplines.” High-quality development in higher education institutions is not an improvement in a single indicator, but an overall leap in the quality of talent cultivation, disciplinary innovation capacity, international competitiveness, and the level of social service.
习近平总书记强调:“要突出培养一流人才、服务国家战略需求、争创世界一流的导向,深化体制机制改革,统筹推进、分类建设一流大学和一流学科。”高校的高质量发展不是单一指标的提升,而是人才培养质量、学科创新能力、国际竞争力、社会服务水平的整体性跃升。
The unity of value orientation and innovation in talent cultivation. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that “the foundation of a higher education institution lies in fostering virtue and nurturing talent. Only a higher education institution that cultivates first-class talent can become a world-class university.” High-quality development in higher education institutions must both adhere to the leadership of Party building, deeply integrate political guidance with professional education, guide students to strengthen their ideals and convictions, cultivate a sense of national identity, enhance their moral qualities, and cultivate socialist builders and successors who are well-developed morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically, and labor-wise, and also, through models such as interdisciplinary cultivation and industry-education integration, endow higher education students with critical thinking, innovative abilities, and comprehensive literacy for solving complex problems, improve the quality of cultivating top-notch innovative talents and compound talents, and ensure that the supply of talent resonates with national strategic needs such as the “15th Five-Year Plan” [1]1 The “15th Five-Year Plan” refers to China’s national economic and social development plan for the period 2026–2030, succeeding the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021–2025). and the direction of industrial upgrading.
人才培养的价值性与创新性相统一。习近平总书记强调,“高校立身之本在于立德树人。只有培养出一流人才的高校,才能够成为世界一流大学”。高校的高质量发展既要坚持党建引领,将政治引领与专业教育深度融合,引导学生坚定理想信念、厚植家国情怀、增强道德素养,培养德智体美劳全面发展的社会主义建设者和接班人,又要通过跨学科培养、产教融合等模式,赋予高校学生批判性思维、创新能力和解决复杂问题的综合素养,提高创新拔尖人才和复合型人才的培养质量,使人才供给与“十五五”规划等国家战略需求、产业升级方向同频共振。
The balance of strategic orientation and synergy in the disciplinary system of higher education institutions. High-quality development in higher education institutions must focus on major national strategies and the frontiers of science and technology, constructing a disciplinary ecosystem characterized by “strengthening the foundation of basic disciplines, enhancing the effectiveness of applied disciplines, and breaking new ground in interdisciplinary disciplines.” Among these, basic disciplines need to strengthen the foundation of original innovation, do a good job of the “dual-chain integration” of the innovation chain and the industrial chain, and target “bottleneck” areas [2]2 “Bottleneck” areas is a common Chinese political and policy term for key technologies or fields where China faces external restrictions or blockades, especially from Western countries, and needs to achieve self-reliance. for forward-looking research; applied disciplines need to align with emerging industries such as artificial intelligence and new energy, promoting deep coupling between the disciplinary chain and the industrial chain; interdisciplinary disciplines should take disciplinary clusters as units to break down single-disciplinary barriers, forming a collaborative innovation chain of “problem orientation – technological breakthrough – achievement transformation,” thereby enhancing the capacity of disciplines to serve economic and social development. The optimization and upgrading of the disciplinary system in higher education institutions is a key support for achieving high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-strengthening, a strategic layout for seizing the commanding heights of global scientific and technological competition, and a core driving force for constructing a new development pattern.
高校学科体系的战略性与协同性并重。高校高质量发展要聚焦国家重大战略和科技前沿,构建“基础学科强基、应用学科增效、交叉学科破题”的学科生态体系,其中基础学科需强化原始创新根基,做好创新链和产业链的“双链融合”,瞄准“卡脖子”领域开展前瞻性研究;应用学科需对接人工智能、新能源等新兴产业,推动学科链与产业链深度耦合;交叉学科要以学科群为单元打破单学科壁垒,形成“问题导向—技术攻关—成果转化”的协同创新链条,提升学科服务经济社会发展的能力。高校学科体系的优化升级,是实现高水平科技自立自强的关键支撑,是抢占全球科技竞争制高点的战略布局,更是构建新发展格局的核心驱动力。
The integration of effectiveness and sustainability in social service. Providing scientific, technological, cultural, and talent support for economic and social development is an inescapable responsibility and duty of higher education institutions. In their strategic planning, higher education institutions should clarify their own position and role in economic and social development, formulate practical and feasible implementation strategies, deeply integrate the mission of serving economic and social development into talent cultivation and scientific research, and effectively enhance the pertinence and effectiveness of meeting development needs. Promote cooperation between higher education institutions and governments, enterprises, and non-profit organizations, and through effective interaction, in-depth exchange, close linkage, and deep integration, form an innovation community that promotes sustained economic and social development.
社会服务的实效性与可持续性相融合。为经济社会发展提供科技、文化和人才支撑,是高校义不容辞的责任和担当。高校在战略规划中应明确自身在经济社会发展中的地位与作用,制定切实可行的实施策略,将服务经济社会发展的使命深度融入人才培养和科学研究中,切实增强对接发展需求的针对性和有效性。推进高校与政府、企业及非营利机构之间的合作,通过有效互动、深入交流、密切链接和深度融合,形成创新共同体,促进经济社会持续发展。
The combination of openness and competitiveness in international cooperation. Actively carrying out opening up and cooperation with the outside world is the necessary path for China to transition from a large educational nation to a strong educational nation. High-quality development in higher education institutions requires basing itself on a higher level of educational opening up, actively integrating into the global higher education and scientific and technological innovation network. Against the backdrop of the accelerated evolution of changes unseen in a century in the world, international cooperation and exchange in higher education institutions have become an important way to enhance the country’s cultural soft power and participate in the reform of the global governance system. By constructing an open, inclusive, mutually beneficial, and win-win international educational cooperation ecosystem, it is possible both to absorb and learn from advanced world educational concepts and scientific and technological achievements, and to transmit Chinese educational wisdom to the world, promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, enable Chinese higher education to make a louder voice on the international stage, and contribute Chinese solutions to the development of global higher education.
国际合作的开放性与竞争力兼具。积极开展对外开放与合作是我国由教育大国走向教育强国的必经之路。高校高质量发展需立足更高水平的教育对外开放,主动融入全球高等教育与科技创新网络。在世界百年未有之大变局加速演进的时代背景下,高校的国际合作与交流已成为提升国家文化软实力、参与全球治理体系改革的重要途径。通过构建开放包容、互利共赢的国际教育合作生态,既能吸收借鉴世界先进教育理念和科技成果,又能向世界传递中国教育智慧,推动构建人类命运共同体,让中国高等教育在国际舞台上发出更响亮的声音,为全球高等教育发展贡献中国方案。

2.高校实现高效能治理的基本逻辑
Education is the foundation of building a strong nation and achieving national rejuvenation. Enhancing the governance efficiency of higher education institutions is not only an inevitable requirement for advancing the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, but also a key support for building a strong educational nation based on China’s actual conditions. Through systematic institutional design and technological empowerment, we should promote the construction of a collaborative and efficient governance system in higher education institutions in knowledge production, talent cultivation, and social service.
教育是强国建设、民族复兴之基。提升高校治理效能,不仅是推进国家治理体系和治理能力现代化的必然要求,更是立足中国实际、建设教育强国的关键支撑。应通过系统性制度设计与技术赋能,推动高校在知识生产、人才培养与社会服务中构建协同高效的治理体系。
Based on a governance concept shifting from fragmentation to integration. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that “we must adhere to a systems perspective, comprehensively advance the reform of educational methods, school-running models, management systems, and guarantee mechanisms.” High-efficiency governance emphasizes breaking down disciplinary barriers and organizational boundaries, treating the knowledge systems, research methods, and human resources of different disciplines as an organic whole. By establishing interdisciplinary research platforms, promoting the flow and sharing of human, material, and information resources among faculties and departments, we can enhance the governance efficiency of higher education institutions, thereby laying a solid foundation for cultivating compound talents and promoting knowledge innovation.
立足从分散到整合的治理理念。习近平总书记指出,“要坚持系统观念,统筹推进育人方式、办学模式、管理体制、保障机制改革”。高效能治理强调打破学科壁垒与组织边界,将不同学科的知识体系、研究方法与人才资源视为有机整体。通过建立跨学科研究平台,推动院系间人力、物力、信息的流动与共享,提升高校治理效能,进而为培养复合型人才、推动知识创新筑牢根基。
Focusing on the governance goal of synergistic development of knowledge innovation and talent cultivation. High-efficiency governance aims to promote knowledge innovation and cultivate compound talents. At the level of knowledge production, it stimulates academic innovation through disciplinary cross-fertilization, breaks through the cognitive boundaries of single disciplines, addresses complex real-world problems such as national security, assists in the continuous breakthrough of scientific and technological innovation, and promotes the development of new quality productive forces. At the level of talent cultivation, it breaks down professional barriers, and through methods such as interdisciplinary curriculum design, cultivates innovative talents with diverse thinking and problem-solving abilities. Only by synergistically advancing knowledge innovation and talent cultivation, and combining the practice of cultivating top-notch innovative talents with the country’s urgent need for high-level scarce talents, can higher education institutions supply innovative talents around national strategic needs and help achieve high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-strengthening.
聚焦知识创新与人才培养协同发展的治理目标。高效能治理以促进知识创新与培养复合型人才为目标。在知识生产层面,通过学科交叉激发学术创新,突破单一学科的认知边界,以应对国家安全等复杂现实问题,助力科技创新持续突破,推动新质生产力发展。在人才培养层面,打破专业壁垒,通过跨学科课程设置等方式,培养具备多元思维与问题解决能力的创新型人才。高校只有将知识创新与人才培养协同推进,将拔尖创新人才的培养实践与国家对高层次紧缺人才的迫切需求相结合,才能围绕国家战略需求输送创新人才,助力实现高水平科技自立自强。
Strengthening governance means of digitalization leading to efficiency improvement. With the rapid development of digital technology, digitalization has become an important driving force for economic and social development. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that “educational digitalization is an important breakthrough for China to open up new tracks for educational development and shape new advantages in educational development.” Currently, educational digitalization has become a new driving force for the development of the educational cause. To comprehensively enhance the governance efficiency of higher education institutions, it is necessary to continuously improve the capacity for digital educational governance. Higher education institutions must establish a digital governance mindset, take big data as the factual basis for governance decision-making, and take intelligence as an important means of governance, enhance the scientific level of governance decision-making and the refined degree of policy implementation, achieve a leap in governance efficiency, assist higher education institutions in realizing the modernization of the governance system and governance capacity, and thereby enhance the international influence, competitiveness, and discourse power of China’s education.
强化数字化引领效能提升的治理手段。随着数字技术的快速发展,数字化已成为经济社会发展的重要推动力。习近平总书记强调,“教育数字化是我国开辟教育发展新赛道和塑造教育发展新优势的重要突破口”。当前,教育数字化已成为教育事业发展的新动能,全面提升高校治理效能,必须不断提升数字化教育治理能力。高校要树立数字化治理思维,将大数据作为治理决策的事实依据,将智能化作为治理的重要手段,提升治理决策的科学化水平和政策执行的精细化程度,实现治理效能跃迁,助力高校实现治理体系和治理能力现代化,从而提升我国教育的国际影响力、竞争力和话语权。

High-efficiency governance in universities is the dynamic support for high-quality development, and it stimulates the momentum of high-quality development through institutional innovation and capacity enhancement. High-efficiency governance breaks down disciplinary barriers by integrating advantageous resources, promoting the cross-disciplinary and cross-college flow of elements such as knowledge, talent, and technology, forming an innovation cluster effect. It empowers university governance processes with information technology, achieving scientific decision-making, refined management, and intelligent services, and enhancing governance efficiency through technologies such as artificial intelligence. High-efficiency governance frees high-quality development in universities from the shackles of dual constraints of resources and institutions, providing an inexhaustible source for improving talent cultivation quality, breaking through academic innovation, and deepening social services.
高校高效能治理是高质量发展的动力支撑,并通过制度创新与能力提升来激发高质量发展动能。高效能治理通过整合优势资源打破学科壁垒,促进知识、人才、技术等要素的跨学科、跨学院流动,形成创新集群效应;以信息技术赋能高校治理流程,实现决策科学化、管理精细化与服务智能化,通过人工智能等科学技术提升治理效能。高效能治理使高校高质量发展摆脱资源与制度双重约束的桎梏,为人才培养质量提升、学术创新突破与社会服务深化提供不竭源泉。
High-quality development and high-efficiency governance in universities jointly contribute to building a strong educational nation in a dynamic evolution. Amid the wave of the global technological revolution and industrial transformation, high-quality development continuously generates new demands, such as the challenges posed by the technological revolution to disciplinary layout and the requirements of industrial upgrading for the structure of the talent pool. From the current perspective, by consolidating the consensus of "pursuing excellence and serving the nation," universities are undergoing a transformation from traditional governance paradigms to a modern governance system, ultimately achieving synergistic progress in development quality and governance efficiency. From a long-term perspective, by reshaping the development paradigm of Chinese higher education, cultivating more globally competitive academic achievements and innovative talents, this will help build a strong nation in higher education and promote high-quality economic and social development.

Consolidate the consensus on public value, and lay the ideological foundation for high-quality development and high-efficiency governance. Promoting university governance requires centering on the fundamental task of fostering virtue through education [3]3 "Fostering virtue through education" (立德树人) is the fundamental task of education in China, emphasizing moral character cultivation as the primary goal of talent development., coordinating the interests of multiple subjects such as the government and enterprises, integrating resource elements from all sides, and maximizing public value. Universities should base themselves on national strategic needs and their own school-running characteristics, formulating development plans that are both forward-looking and operable. Through online and offline platforms, they should widely absorb opinions and suggestions from teachers, students, alumni, and all sectors of society, so that strategic goals not only reflect disciplinary advantages but also closely align with national strategic needs and local economic and social development needs. Innovatively build a digital democratic decision-making platform, using big data analysis technology to accurately collect teachers' and students' views and suggestions on school affairs, allowing teachers and students from different disciplines and levels to conveniently participate in major decision-making discussions. At the same time, actively introduce external think tanks, such as advisory committees composed of industry elites and education experts, to regularly provide professional insights on school development strategies and disciplinary planning, creating a governance atmosphere of democratic consultation. In addition, deepen the cultivation system of university culture and values. Carry out activities such as university history education, academic integrity construction, and teacher ethics cultivation, shaping the common value pursuits and behavioral norms of teachers and students, further enhancing cohesion, and providing spiritual support for high-quality development in universities.
凝聚公共价值共识,筑牢高质量发展与高效能治理的思想根基。推动高校治理,要求围绕立德树人这一根本任务,协调政府、企业等多元主体利益、整合各方资源要素、实现公共价值最大化。高校应立足国家战略需求与自身办学特色,制定兼具前瞻性与可操作性的发展规划。通过线上线下平台,广泛吸纳师生、校友及社会各界的意见建议,使战略目标既体现学科优势,又紧密对接国家战略需求和地方经济社会发展需要。创新搭建数字化民主决策平台,利用大数据分析技术精准收集师生对学校事务的看法与建议,让不同学科、不同层级的师生都能便捷参与重大决策讨论。同时,积极引入外部智囊团,如行业精英、教育专家等组成的咨询委员会,定期为学校发展战略、学科规划等提供专业见解,营造民主协商的治理氛围。此外,深化大学文化与价值观培育体系。开展校史教育、学术诚信建设、师德师风培育等活动,塑造师生共同的价值追求与行为规范,进一步增强凝聚力,为高校高质量发展提供精神支撑。
Improve the collaborative governance mechanism, and build institutional guarantees for high-quality development and high-efficiency governance. At the vertical governance level, universities should fully leverage digital means to innovate the hierarchical management and assessment system, build an intelligent goal management platform, clarify the list of powers and responsibilities and assessment indicators at each level, and strengthen the supervision and evaluation of policy implementation processes. Promote the reform of the university-college two-level management system, appropriately delegate autonomy in areas such as talent recruitment and resource allocation to secondary colleges, and stimulate grassroots innovation vitality. At the horizontal governance level, guided by the integration of interdisciplinary and cross-field approaches, use cloud computing to build a cross-departmental collaborative work cloud platform, integrate data resources and business processes from all sides, and achieve efficient communication and collaboration with the help of remote collaboration tools. Regularly hold cross-departmental joint meetings to promptly solve problems such as overlapping functions and unclear powers and responsibilities, achieve information sharing and resource integration, improve the efficiency of collaborative innovation, and provide systematic solutions for addressing major national needs. In addition, universities should fully leverage the advantages of social platforms to build online academic exchange communities and interest groups, encouraging teachers, administrative staff, and students from different disciplines to exchange ideas and share insights. Regularly hold online and offline integrated academic competitions, creative challenges, and other activities, promoting learning and research through competition, and creating a strong atmosphere of innovation.
