Chinanews client, September 24 (Lang Lang) On the 24th, the Ministry of Education held a press conference.

In response to recent expert comments that Tsinghua University and other universities have been fully established as world-class universities, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Education Xu Mei said that the first round of double-class construction will be from 2016 to 2020. This year is the end of the first round of construction. Therefore, in the recent period, relevant universities have organized experts to conduct self-evaluation on the effectiveness of construction in accordance with relevant requirements.

Therefore, it is now mainly relying on experts to conduct self-summarization and self-evaluation in stages.

Xu Mei said that after these five years of construction, the relevant construction schools have continuously gathered high-quality resources, continuously strengthened the content construction, and achieved certain phased results.

However, we must also be soberly aware that there is still a big gap between the overall strength of our country’s higher education and world-class universities, especially to achieve first-class universities in the middle of this century, first-class disciplines, whether in terms of quality We still have to enter the forefront of the world in terms of quantity. We still have a long way to go, there is still a lot of work to do, and there are still very arduous tasks, so we must have a clear understanding of this.
