To Adapt or to Lead: The Relationship between Higher Education and Society Revisited

Abstract

Higher education should not only adapt to the development of society, but also lead to the development of society. This paper argues that higher education leading the development of society is conducive to promoting the realization of the dream of a strong higher education country, the construction of the integration of industry-university-research, the return of high-end talents and the construction of universalized higher education with Chinese characteristics.
