Abstract

The efficiency of China's economic development depends on investment in human capital, in particular investment in higher education. This article presents the main trends in the development of higher education over the past 10 years. Based on a comparative analysis of world rankings and domestic university rankings, combined with the actual situation in China, the current development of the academic industry is analyzed. According to the results of the analysis, the current performance of some universities has reached the level of world-class universities, especially in the field of basic scientific research. But there is a big gap with world-class universities in cutting-edge research, internationalization and talent development. Analyzing the key indicators of the development of the academic industry in China, the author draws attention to the need to increase the international competitiveness of China's scientific research and international public recognition. To do this, it is necessary to balance the distribution of resources between regions and universities in the field of education; evaluate the weight of scientific research achievements, the impact of scientific research and the conditions for conducting scientific research, optimize the evaluation of the effectiveness of scientific research; increase investment in the development and motivation of academic staff.
