In short, independent colleges are mainly private ordinary undergraduate colleges, and their diplomas are undergraduate courses. Of course, independent colleges are basically run by the people, and the tuition fees are generally expensive, which are basically 65,438+0,000-20,000, or even higher. In the early stage, there will generally be resources from prestigious schools, and the follow-up support will basically be less and less. Independent colleges generally enroll students in three batches, and now many provinces have merged the three batches into two batches.
In 2008, the Ministry of Education issued the Measures for the Establishment and Management of Independent Colleges, requiring independent colleges to complete their independent establishment within five years.
On May 8, 2020, the General Office of the Ministry of Education issued the Implementation Plan on Accelerating the Transformation of Independent Colleges. On February 3, 2020, KLOC-0, each independent college made a transfer work plan to promote the transfer of a number of independent colleges. In principle, independent colleges organized by universities directly under the central government and independent colleges cooperating with the provinces should take the lead in completing the handover, and other independent colleges should complete the handover as soon as possible.
As of 2021126th, there were 86 independent colleges in China.
Attachment period
The first independent college in China was born in 1998, marked by Zheng Wen College of Suzhou University. It was applied by Suzhou University and invested by Suzhou University Education Development Foundation. Such institutions were collectively called "secondary colleges" at the beginning of their establishment, and later they were called "secondary colleges" or "independent secondary colleges". The "dependence" on the bidding university is its inherent basic feature, and the state encourages it to transfer or merge into the matrix.
Independent period
In 2003, the Ministry of Education issued "Several Opinions on Standardizing and Strengthening the Management of Independent Colleges with New Mechanism and New Model" (referred to as Document No.8), and independent colleges began to transition to independent colleges with the support of national policies. Document No.8 of the Ministry of Education put forward the concept of "independent college" for the first time, and pointed out in its first article: "The independent college mentioned in this paper refers to the secondary college at the undergraduate level organized by ordinary undergraduate colleges according to the new mechanism and model. Secondary colleges, branch schools or other similar secondary institutions established by some ordinary undergraduate colleges according to public mechanisms and models do not belong to this category. "
Features: First, implement a new school-running mechanism. The funds and related expenses for the construction and development of the pilot independent colleges shall be borne by the partners or solved through private mechanisms.
The second is to implement a new school-running model. An independent college should have an independent campus and basic school facilities, implement relatively independent teaching organization and management, enroll students independently, issue academic certificates independently, conduct independent financial accounting, have independent legal personality and independently bear civil liabilities.
