Higher education plays an important role for many Chinese people in life. The higher school not only gives people warm nests shielding off outside unrelated communities, but also provides a comprehensive learning system to help students learn lessons inside their great walls. Nowadays, our higher education system is supplying us with a solid basic education and one or more sets of competence in dealing with various kinds of tests and details of a special field, but the organizational grooves and narrow routines in higher education are increasingly diminishing the motivation and dynamic of students and teachers.

As we know, the value outlook of traditional education pays much attention to the examination system, while a good education system should train students to think for themselves. Whether a student can or can’ t gain credits and graduate late is decided by whether he or she can pass the all kinds of tests designed by school and other institutions. As a result, what has to be learnt in many higher schools is rigidly laid down by a syllabus, lowering the standards of teaching and learning as well. Thus, this kind of education system can neither motivate students to learn widely, nor give the teacher of all freedom.

Another problem in higher education is that there is less correlation between the theories and practices. What students are learning now in a lot of time is the knowledge of the theories, which maybe underlie the students of the basic knowledge, but admittedly, it also makes students lose a lot of opportunities to discover and implement patterns by themselves in practice, which will eventually leads them to be unfamiliar to realistic development of social environment.

The third problem is that many schools pay more and more emphasis on competence education. Commitment has been diminishing day and day. Now the emphasis among higher school students is how to complete their needed course and earn credits. The students, as well as the school, are devoting their energies to pursuing material or personal development in now or future. On the contrast, commitment seems increasingly disappear in their daily life. To serve for others or society seems like a dated idealism.

These problems of Chinese higher education system are not simple thing to be changed significantly. However, they will only be solved when most of Chinese people realize and have an incentive to correct these problems.
