Government Action In The New Era Of Higher Education Quality Assurance

Higher education quality greatly reflects a country's international competitiveness in the new times. National government is not allowed to give up the responsibility of guaranteeing the quality of higher education due to whose political and commonweal nature.Mainly the quality of higher education is guaranteed by the government through higher education planning, appraising, investing, legislating, etc. In the new times, Chinese government has paid full attention to higher education quality and promote the implementation of the quality of higher education project.However, in order to better guarantee the quality of higher education, present Chinese government actions have much room for improvement: higher education planning has failed to handle the relationship among higher education quantity, structure, effectiveness and quality; government authority has taken too much room in higher education appraising, which violates the trend of higher education quality variation; higher education investing hasn't reached an ideal level and the investing allocation structure is not reasonable; higher education legislating can't keep with the pace, and so on. All the above deficiencies in guaranteeing higher education quality reveal the imperfection of government actions.In spite of the deficiencies, making use of new administration theory, government can program rational higher education, make intelligent appraises, promote investment and perfect legislation, based on the principle of insisting on directionality, democracy, dynamic, and high-effect. Meanwhile, through innovating higher education ideas and absorbing some related successful experience of foreign government, Chinese government can conduct decentralization as well as set up and reinforce higher education intermediary organizations, etc., so as to improve the validity of government actions in guaranteeing higher education quality.
