Constructing a Management System for Private Colleges and Universities in China Based on a Comparative Study of Private Colleges and Universities at Home and Abroad

This paper first conducts a comparative study of the management system of private colleges and universities at home and abroad, then analyzes the reference significance of the management system of foreign private colleges and universities for the development of private colleges and universities in China, and finally puts forward corresponding strategies for the construction of a management system for private colleges and universities, so as to effectively promote the rapid development of private colleges and universities in China. At the same time, a smooth-running of private higher education is directly related to national development and the future of the nation. Private colleges and universities shoulder the sacred mission of educating people for the party and the country. Carrying out the party’s national work in the new era is the internal requirement of comprehensively implementing the party’s educational policy, the fundamental task of building morality and cultivating people, the mission of the era of developing schools and strengthening the country, as well as achieving satisfactory education. This helps to improve the socialist education system in China.

Investigation and Analysis on the Postgraduate Entrance Examination for Undergraduate Students from Private Colleges and Universities

Students from private undergraduate universities were included in this study as research subjects. Questionnaires were distributed to the students to collect information in order to keep abreast of students’ motivation, preference, preparation and plan, encountered difficulties and adjustments made, demands, as well as other aspects about their postgraduate entrance examination. The results showed that students from private universities have clear motivation for their postgraduate entrance examination, but there are some problems, such as the lack of scientific choices, long preparation time, more challenges, and lack of school support. In view of these problems, this study offers countermeasures and suggestions for these students and relevant schools.

Budget Ratcheting and Debtholders’ Monitoring: Evidence from Private Colleges and Universities

This study examines whether budget ratcheting occurs in Japanese private colleges and universities (PC&Us) and how debtholders affect it. We predict that managers of Japanese PC&Us have incentives to increase their budgets in order to enhance their reputation from internal stakeholders; moreover, most of their stakeholders are less likely to strictly monitor the manager’s behavior, which creates the opportunity for budget ratcheting. First, we find that the budget for program expense increases associated with prior year overspending is larger than for decreases associated with underspending of the same amount, consistent with the budget ratcheting hypothesis. Second, we also find that the extent of budget ratcheting is less pronounced in PC&Us with debtholders and earnings losses, suggesting that debtholders such as banks monitor budgetary practices. This study contributes to the budget ratcheting literature by adding new findings on the budget ratcheting practices of nonprofit organizations, namely, PC&Us.

THE GROWTH OF PRIVATE HIGHER EDUCATION: AN OVERVIEW IN THE CONTEXT OF LIBERALISATION, PRIVATISATION AND MARKETISATION

<p>Economic policies encouraging private ownership (liberalisation, privatisation and marketisation) have allowed Private Higher Education Institutions (PrHEIs) to proliferate in most parts of the world, particularly since the 1990s. The number of private colleges and universities continues to grow in most countries at a remarkable rate, partly reflecting the demand for greater choice and more flexibility, which PrHEIs are able to offer. In some countries, PrHEIs even outnumber public higher education institutions (PuHEIs) or are at least expected to do so within the next decade. This is particularly the case in emerging and developing countries. The worldwide expansion of private higher education can be illustrated by the fact that one in three students globally is now enrolled in PrHEIs, and there are very few places in the world where public monopolies continue to prevent the emergence of alternative providers from the private sector. In the UK, the Government recognises that private, for-profit higher education institutions, the majority of which award degrees in conjunction with state universities, typically function more efficiently and work harder to improve the student experience. Their appeal among non-traditional students dovetails perfectly with Government rhetoric to make higher education more accessible and widen participation. A legal framework has been created that makes it easier for challenger institutions to enter the market and compete with the public higher education sector. A more streamlined, student-focused approach to the regulation of higher education in the UK is also designed to stimulate further growth and competition in the HE sector, ensuring that private colleges and universities remain a viable alternative to the public sector. </p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0886/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Research on the Course of Academic Thesis Writing based on the Teaching Reform

Recently, the State Council has set higher standards for the graduation thesis of undergraduates. Most undergraduate colleges and universities have issued their own policies in which private colleges and universities have paid more attention to this issue in which several local experts have conducted many research on the course of academic thesis writing. The Inner Mongolia Honder College of Arts and Sciences is used as an example in this article. Using the questionnaire survey and interview method, the current situation of the academic thesis writing course in private colleges is analyzed and its reform in private colleges and universities is explored in hope to provide some reference for future research.
