Abstract

As the institutions of higher learning are becoming increasingly international and popular during the development, college ranking has become one of the most popular topics in recent years, which is mainly because that college ranking is social and open, which to a certain extent satisfies the society and public's demands for evaluating colleges and universities. More importantly, it can provide students with valuable referential information in school selection. However, at the same time, the controversy arising from college ranking has never stopped because college ranking will have huge influence on college and universities' economic efficiency, integration of social resources, the public, government decisions, college students' employment rate and enrollment rate, etc. In short, college ranking's positive influence and negative influence coexist in the development of China's education. The society, government, colleges and universities, parents and students should correctly view and interpret college ranking. Meanwhile, relevant institutions and departments should also make the colleges' evaluation system and evaluation subjects more standardized and systematic so as to ensure that college ranking can become the best supervision and evaluation system to improve the teaching quality of colleges and universities.
