Research on the Path in Which Local Universities Serve Regional Economic and Social Development

Abstract

In the new era, improving the quality of personnel training in colleges and universities and implementing high-quality development strategies is the key to driving regional economic and social development. To achieve this goal, local colleges and universities must explore innovative approaches to education, address challenges hindering the integration of academic learning with practical experience, and foster closer partnerships with businesses. By leveraging the expertise of individuals in science and technology, these institutions can drive growth in local industries, creating mutually beneficial outcomes for both academia and enterprises. This paper examines the role of local higher education institutions in regional development, offers reform proposals from diverse perspectives, and provides actionable recommendations.
