16."It is obvious that China will climb up university rankings in the years to come."This statement from Phil Baty,editor of the Times Higher Education World University Rankings,lines up with China's optimism that it will produce world-class universities.But there are still difficulties to overcome,experts say.
Universities from China's mainland slipped in the 2011-2012Times'global rankings.Peking University dropped 12places from last year to 49th,and Tsinghua University fell to 71st place.Among Asian universities,Peking is ranked No.4and Tsinghua No.8.
A combination of factors determines rankings-research output,study environment,reputation and international outlook.
Due to China's economic development,investment (投入) in education and research has increased,but the quality of education and research in Chinese academia seems not to have kept pace.
The gauge (判定標(biāo)準(zhǔn)) is the number of papers published in highly respected English-language journals,so while many papers are being produced in China,it appears not all are good enough to attract international attention.
Still,higher education in China is developing quickly,thanks in part to huge government investment.China spent an amount equal to 3.69percent of GDP on education last year,according to Ministry of Finance data.
China has the largest and one of the fastest growing higher education systems in the world-2,723schools for 31million students.Enrollment (入學(xué)人數(shù)) has increased more than four times from 2001to 2011.
