序言

With over 30 million students and over 2,600 universities and colleges, China hasbecome the world's largest provider of tertiary education; yet its participation rate intertiary education is still only 23%. Every year, millions of applicants sufferrejection from universities and colleges, in many instances because of limited placesavailable. With a culture that emphasizes the importance of education, the pursuitof education of the highest quality and to the highest levels possible is activelypromoted, and the potential for growth in the tertiary sector of the country remainsenormous. Furthermore, China has displayed a resilient commitment not only toexpanding the system, but also to investing in improving quality across the systemand especially at its best institutions, in the pursuit of the status of world-classuniversities. There is no doubt that interest in Chinese tertiary education will onlygrow as the country becomes an increasingly important player on the world'seconomic stage. Despite this dramatic transformation and the amount of attention China gets in theglobal media and international academic communities, Chinese tertiary education israrely studied, let alone understood, by researchers outside the country. The lack ofaccessible and reliable information poses a major obstacle to internationalcomparative studies and exchange of information on tertiary education in China.
