CHINA: Universities chase higher ranking: research
20.02.2011
A recent study
shows that moving up in the ranking list is a general ambition of
China's universities, and the rankings affected their strategic
planning. The study was conducted by Liu Niancai, Dean of Graduate
School of Education (GSE) in Shanghai Jiao Tong University, who
completed a report "Empirical Research of University rankings in China
and abroad: Index, Weight, and Impact" by researching 16 Chinese and
international rankings, according to the report.University principals and departments have made pushing up the university ranks a common aim.
Some universities were found to have established a mechanism to supervise the changes in position and data referring to their situation, Liu was quoted as saying by the Changjiang Daily.
The study disclosed that rankings affect policy making and reform of universities, as higher education institutions consider their ranks when formulating strategic plans, said the report.
However, according to the study, some ranking lists are not fair for evaluating those universities specialized in arts, because indexes like academician and published item number hampered the arts subjects' counts.
Liu told the Chinese media that diverse factors, such as the country's wish to check and improve education capacity, and universities expecting to top in competitions, lead to the growth of rankings.
Cheng Ying, the executive director of the World-Class Universities Study Center of GSE, called for a transparent ranking method and data mechanism, as China's university ranking lists are questioned due to the suspicion that money is involved in the ranking process, the Chinese media reported.
The university ranking study was a project of the 11th Five-Year Plan initiated in 2008.
