Comparative Study on the Development Status of Higher Education in Ningxia

As one of the autonomous regions for ethnic minorities, ordinary higher education in Ningxia, like other regions in the country, has also made further development on the basis of long-term development. However, there is still a significant gap compared to other provinces and autonomous regions in the northwest and the whole country. Research has found that there are prominent problems in the development of ordinary higher education in Ningxia, such as an unreasonable faculty structure, small scale, and insufficient funding for scientific research. The main reason is due to the slow development and small scale of local higher education in Ningxia, which has certain shortcomings and deficiencies in independently cultivating high-level talents. The phenomenon of excellent talent loss is relatively serious, talent introduction is difficult, and the overall proportion of teachers with senior professional titles is relatively low. The proportion of scientific research funds allocated to higher education is low in the entire education sector, and the funding structure is unreasonable. In the future development, higher education in Ningxia should expand the scale of education and optimize the structure of higher education on the basis of its original foundation; Increase the number of high-quality teachers, optimize the structure of the teaching staff, and enhance the overall level of the teaching staff; Appropriately tilt education funding towards scientific research in universities and optimize the structure of education funding investment.
