Sino-foreign cooperation in running schools has become the general trend. How about by going up one flight of stairs?

Judging the development prospect of "Sino-foreign cooperation in running schools" has been "two worlds of ice and fire" for many years. Optimists believe that by taking advantage of the internationalization of education in China, a new round of great development and prosperity will be ushered in; Pessimists think that they have long been questioned by "low quality" and "low gold content in diplomas" If not "strictly managed", they will gradually decline.

"When it comes to studying abroad, expensive tuition fees and complicated procedures make studying abroad so troublesome. Seeing a boat crossing the river ahead, I just can't squeeze up and stand on the shore and stare? No, let's go to the speedboat to run the school together. " This is the slogan of a Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run school.

"Sino-foreign cooperation in running schools" allows students to receive two kinds of educational methods and resources at home and abroad at the same time and obtain two degrees at the same time. It was once known as "studying at home" and regarded as "an advanced school-running model with complementary advantages and resources at home and abroad", and it bears the lofty mission of internationalization of education. As soon as the floodgate is opened, it surges, either as an independent cooperative education institution, or as a secondary college of a university, or as a separate education project. Suddenly, "2+2", "3+ 1" and "1+ 1" blossomed everywhere, dazzling. According to statistics, up to now, there are more than 1200 Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run schools or projects.

However, it is a pity that such an educational model that benefits the country and the people has been questioned and encountered a crisis of quality and credibility. The key lies in quick success and short-sightedness. Some school-running entities have not raised this educational model of benefiting the country and the people to the height of national education modernization and internationalization, and have not risen to the strategic height of building a "world-class university."

Driven by interests, some foreign universities with low quality have "rushed to the beach" in China's education market, while some domestic universities are eager to rely on Sino-foreign cooperation in running schools to improve their popularity and expand their students, but they lack a comprehensive investigation and in-depth understanding of foreign educational resources, resulting in a mixture of imported educational resources; Some schools fail to handle the relationship between "long-term goals" and "short-term benefits", blindly set up "hot" majors, pay attention to enrollment, but lack supervision over teacher training and teaching quality. Of course, some units or individuals who don't have the resources and qualifications to run schools illegally carry out cooperative education activities with overseas institutions without approval, and recruit students without authorization through false promises in advertisements, which infringes on the interests of students and parents and damages the overall reputation of Sino-foreign cooperative education.

Sino-foreign cooperation in running schools for the purpose of raising popularity or making profits violates the laws of education and deviates from the purpose of education, and can only get narrower and narrower.

Education is related to the prosperity of the nation, the well-being of the people and the future of the country. There is no room for quick success and instant benefit in any educational undertaking. It needs to operate with a strong sense of professionalism and practice with a strong sense of responsibility and mission.

At the beginning of the new year, another Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run school with independent legal personality, nyu shanghai, was officially approved for construction. From the beginning of preparation, the school has set the goal of "building a world-class university", which will create a "brand-new model" and take a "road that no one has ever taken". Some people say that Mr. Xie of this school plays an inspiring role in the criticized field of Sino-foreign cooperation in running schools; Some people also worry that due to the limited soil, schools may not escape the fate of "a beautiful orange caught in the middle". However, in any case, the school's thinking on the purpose of running a school, the direction of enrollment and the teaching mode has begun to show that the person in charge of running a school has a clear understanding of the problems existing in the current Sino-foreign cooperation in running a school, and has shown the courage and determination to "create a new era of Sino-foreign cooperation in running a school."

At a time when Sino-foreign cooperation in running schools has always been difficult to shake off the crisis of quality and credibility, and when the country is striving to improve the level of internationalization of education, the future of nyu shanghai is worth looking forward to.
