Education between China and America, Higher education, Comparison and analysisAbstract
Higher education is the centralized embodiment of a country’s comprehensive strength. The rapid economic development of China in recent years has promoted the rapid development of higher education, but there is still a gap compared with developed countries. The most mature education model in the world is still the American higher education model, which successfully cultivates many talents with strong independent consciousness and independent innovation ability, and the United States has many enterprises and talents leading the development of high-tech in the world today is a good example. The reason for the success of the American higher education model is that American universities have a comprehensive core curriculum, flexible and diverse teaching activities, an applicable and humane education model, and a diverse campus cultural environment. In contrast, China’s higher education is in a critical period of reform, and there are many areas that need to be improved. With the strengthening of educational exchanges between China and the U.S., it is necessary to study the similarities and differences between Chinese and U.S. education and learn from the advanced international educational methods and concepts in order to improve the quality and international competitiveness of our education.
