A total of 48 schools in central and eastern China who aim to upgrade their designated learning institution status passed the preliminary evaluation by the Ministry of Education, the complete list of names released to the public on December 29.As outlined by the ministry, in order for a learning institution to be considered for university status in China, standards include having over 100 professors, over 8,000 enrolled undergrads, at least 10 different masters degree programs, as well as specific credential requirements for instructors and number of national awards.Liu Shaohuai, secretary of the Party committee at Yunnan University in Kunming, Yunann Province, was quoted by the Kunming-based Chuncheng Evening News as explaining that a school upgrade, such as from a college to university, helps in improving its education strength and quality, as well as strengthening its reputation and influence.However, it is still unclear that name changes are effective or how stringently the standards are upheld by the Ministry, amounting to nothing more than repackaging the same institution to attract students and increased government funding.Do you see the upgrade process as effective in improving its quality of education or merely a form of marketing? Song Jun A first-year sociology graduate student at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, WuhanBeing awarded a status change is key for schools looking to improve their reputation.Because most high school students prefer having the word university over college when they apply, a name change will boost enrollment. If enrollment goes up, the school will be able to employ better teachers, thus improving its reputation.Liu Ting A business administration senior at China University of Petroleum, BeijingA schools strength doesnt depend on what its name is. Take Massachusetts Institute of Technology for example.It doesnt have the word university in its name, but it is still a prestigious institution sought after by many students
