Abstract

With the ongoing deepening of China’s comprehensive higher education reform, the development of higher education is undergoing great changes. This study analyses the current state of higher education in China from multiple dimensions. It organises and examines the comprehensive reform policies and measures implemented in higher education across China. An evaluation index system is established, consisting of student cultivation quality, educational quality, faculty quality, and educational environment—to assess the effectiveness of the comprehensive reform policies in the eastern regions. Finally, based on the findings, this study explores and summarises the experience and new pathways of comprehensive reform in universities, offering insights for the continued reform of higher education.
