Abstract

Chinese higher education is undoubtedly transferring and developing from compulsory education or exam-oriented education to competence education, but anyhow, this process is very slow and also misconcepted, the primary reason for which is that Chinese universities are still practicing ESD (Education for Sustainable Development) for higher education not efficiently. This paper analyzes some prevalent shortsighted practices such as bureaucratic regulations, isolations and academic barriers, etc. Correspondingly, the paper gives to much emphasis on such basic principles for Chinese sustainable higher education as establishing academic-centered regulation systems, valuing-teaching idea, academic integration, competence education, preferential treatment to teachers, and openness to the world, local communities and societies etc.
