The building of a powerful country in higher education indicates an in-depth reform involving significant changes in the structure,the process and values,along with a governance-oriented reform that can be promoted only by a deep understanding of its meaning.To have a deep understanding of the connotations of a powerful country in higher education,we need to have a deep understanding of the political,people-oriented,and strategic attributes of education.A powerful country in higher education with Chinese characteristics emphasizes supporting high-quality economic development and becoming an important and influential educational center in the world.To build a powerful country in higher education,we need to carry out in-depth reforms by accelerating the transition from the development-oriented reform to the governance-oriented reform,and conducting an overall reform of the talent-cultivating methods(focusing on student-centeredness),the education-operating mode(focusing on cross-border integration),the management system(focusing on classified evaluations in higher education institutions)and the supporting mechanism(focusing on the market-based allocation of resources).As the"key link"of the comprehensive reform of education,the reform of educational evaluation has a widespread impact with just one move.We need to take new approaches:leading the reform of the talent-cultivating methods through the reform of student evaluation,leading the reform of the education-operating mode through the reform of teacher evaluation,leading the reform of the management system through the reform of higher education institution evaluation,and leading the reform of the supporting mechanism through the reform of government evaluation.
