From the "Lock" to "Advanced": the Midwest Higher Education Revitalization of Path Dependence and Possible Solutions

Abstract

    Due to the restriction of "Western consciousness", structural contradictions in the spatial distribution, poor interference in special policies etc., "Middle and Western Higher Education" is an important concept under the triple incentives of social cognition, technical route and policy formulation be formed. The development mode, spindle-shaped school hierarchy, and two-level management system hinder the revitalization of Midwest higher education, resulting in cognitive, technology, and design lock-ins as the three forms of path dependence. Establish the value concept of strengthening the school with quality, and take the connotative development as the revitalization. The top priority of the development work; build a pyramid-shaped school-running hierarchy, and take a characteristic rather than a comprehensive development path; plus, Greater support for institutions of higher learning in the middle and western regions, and the expansion of the overall planning and management authority of the provincial government, is the starting point for the revival of the advanced education in the middle and western regions. Possible solutions from "Locked" to "Advanced".
