The Chinese higher education system is highly centralized. Curriculum development, an important and typical example of this system, is controlled by the highest government agency in education--the SEdCC. But defects of centralized government control over curriculum have become increasingly apparent with the political-economic reforms launched in the 1980s. The reforms shift the planned economy to a mixed one with growing market dynamics and they decentralize the current political system to some degree. Major problems of Chinese curriculum development include a large mismatch between program enrollments and job opportunities and graduates' dissatisfaction with their college study.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The Chinese higher education system is highly centralized. Curriculum development, an important and typical example of this system, is controlled by the highest government agency in education--the SEdCC. But defects of centralized government control over curriculum have become increasingly apparent with the political-economic reforms launched in the 1980s. The reforms shift the planned economy to a mixed one with growing market dynamics and they decentralize the current political system to some degree. Major problems of Chinese curriculum development include a large mismatch between program enrollments and job opportunities and graduates' dissatisfaction with their college study.
520 $a To understand these problems and to address them, this study focuses on curriculum decision making, a critical factor in curriculum development. It shows how China's highly centralized decision making results in major problems of curriculum development. It does so through an analysis of power distributions among three actors--government agencies, institutions and students--and of different decision making processes--procedures, participants and information channels. The analysis is based on comparative perspectives between the Chinese and U.S. cases. Furthermore, this study demonstrates how college curricula are in accordance with their broad political-economic settings. It proceeds to show how a more decentralized curriculum decision making model with an expanded institutional role becomes desirable and feasible in a changing China.
520 $a Such policy conclusions are built upon an empirical analysis of present curriculum policies of government agencies and of two selected universities in China and the United States, supplemented by interviews. More specifically, the power of each actor is defined based on how many decisions and what types of decisions an actor makes in the two cases. Sixteen curriculum decisions, therefore, are identified and given different weights according to their status as strategic, tactical or operational decisions.
