Strategic Reforms and Management of Higher Education Expansion in China: Assessing the Socio-Economic Impacts and Policy Implications

Abstract

The effects of the reforms to the Chinese system of education are the main topic of this essay. Education plays a significant role in China's overall growth, and in the previous several decades, the country's whole system of learning has undergone significant modifications. Significant resources for labour and innovation have been made available by the expanded influence of educational reforms, which has aided in the advancement of community, political, cultural in nature and economic growth. 2020 started off with big plans for developing higher education in the future. University have since experienced a never-ending whirlwind of doubts and misunderstandings as they adjust to a brand-new set of drastically altered principles and opportunities. This essay traces this journey to provide a record of 2020 events and to make sense of changing situations. As the foundation for expressing viewpoints, we offer our individual circumstances. This study focuses on inequality in society and institutional stratified and offers fresh data on how enrollment growth impacts access to and output from higher education. China experienced the greatest increase in educational institutions globally between 1999 and 2018, with yearly college enrollment rising from 2,949,944 to 9,849,941. Using recently released, private institution-level data as well as locally representative student-level questionnaire responses, we assess this novel and exogenous policy. Enrollment growth had a substantial influence on college quality, reducing resources per person and negatively affecting graduates' career prospects and compensation expectations. During growth, the stratified manufacturing across college institutions tiers and unequal access among high- and low-SES learners continued.
