To fully implement the new thought and new concept, and endeavor to lead in pursuing high-quality development, Jiangsu carries out the comprehensive assessment as a major institutional arrangement. The assessment in 2019 is the second time that Jiangsu tests the performance of high-quality development across the province. 72 provincial colleges and universities were included in the annual comprehensive assessment of Jiangsu for the first time. The comprehensive assessment on colleges and universities mainly evaluates the work of party building, high-quality development and satisfaction rate on school running. The standard, weighting and score vary according to the different types of colleges and universities. For the 22 high level higher vocational institutes, their achievements at national level are of great importance in the assessment, so as to encourage these institutes to create more Jiangsu experience and classic examples with national influence. Meanwhile, on the basis of quantitative assessment index with a total of 80 points, 20 points each, the assessment set another two categories specifically, namely high-quality development and party building work, 20 points each. In doing so, outstanding achievements and classic cases in party building and annual work of higher education institutes are assessed, and scores are given during the presentations of party secretaries and presidents of colleges and universities. Higher education is encouraged to pursue development with distinctive features. The effective and comprehensive assessment system boosts the high-quality development of colleges and universities, and further enhanced the intelligent support to the high-quality development of Jiangsu.
