The "one school, one policy" determines the positioning of the school, dynamically adjusts the enrollment scale, improves the monitoring and early warning of disciplines and majors, focuses on the rapid layout of urgently needed fields, supports the systematic reform of scientific and technological achievements transformation, guides social capital to invest in early innovation projects in universities, carries out high-quality Sino foreign cooperative education, actively participates in global education governance relying on international organizations in Shanghai... To build an education powerhouse, the leader is higher education. During the 14th Five Year Plan period, the education system in Shanghai followed the strategic plan made by General Secretary Xi Jinping for Shanghai, with the creation of a national demonstration zone for comprehensive education reform in Shanghai as the driving force. It focused on deepening the comprehensive reform of higher education with institutional innovation as the core, breaking down bottlenecks and barriers that restrict high-quality development, strengthening the support role of education in science and technology and talent, and stimulating the surging power of service contributions. Optimizing the structure, implementing "one school, one policy" to enhance quality, consolidate and improve 16 majors, optimizing and adjusting 4 majors, establishing 6 new training directions, and adding 7 cross fusion modules... Shanghai Electric Power University focuses on four major fields: clean power generation, smart grid, power energy storage, and power artificial intelligence, to better serve the national "dual carbon" strategy and Shanghai's energy and power security. Establishing an innovative platform for talent cultivation in the four key industries of intelligent manufacturing, integrated circuits, energy equipment, and civil aviation, Shanghai Institute of Electrical Engineering will deepen the integration of industry and education through interdisciplinary and cross college resource integration, and better serve the construction of Shanghai's high-end equipment industry cluster. Shanghai University of International Business and Economics focuses on three key areas: international economic and trade innovation and governance, international finance and investment, and digital management and intelligent decision-making, promoting the digital transformation of traditional economic and trade disciplines and the innovative development of emerging interdisciplinary fields. When the reporter walked into Shanghai universities, the most talked about topics among teachers and students were "one school, one policy" and "deepening reform". In 2023, Shanghai issued the "Opinions on Comprehensively Deepening the Comprehensive Reform of Higher Education and Promoting High Quality Development through Services" and the "Implementation Plan for the Ten Major Special Plans for Improving the Quality of Higher Education in Shanghai (2023-2026)", orderly promoting the comprehensive reform of higher education. How to find the correct positioning of schools in the national and city wide innovation layout, comprehensively improve the quality of independent talent training, has become a top priority for the presidents of various universities in Shanghai. At the beginning of 2024, the "Implementation Plan for Strengthening the Precise Supply of Talents in Key Fields and Dynamically Adjusting the Enrollment Structure and Scale of Higher Education Institutions in Shanghai" was released, which comprehensively promotes the adjustment of undergraduate and graduate enrollment structure and scale; By 2025, the enrollment proportion of undergraduate and master's students in science, engineering, agriculture, and medicine will reach 54.47% and 59.58% respectively, further enhancing the matching of talent supply and demand. At the same time, the Shanghai Higher Education Service Strong Contribution Plan is being implemented, and the "red and yellow card" evaluation mechanism for subject majors is being further improved. A monitoring and early warning indicator system covering "enrollment training employment" is being constructed to monitor the status of 1219 undergraduate majors in 39 universities throughout the city. In the face of the trend of technological evolution and industrial transformation iteration cycle constantly shortening, Shanghai has promoted the construction of micro majors in universities throughout the city, piloted dual bachelor's degree programs, and approved more than 130 projects. At the same time, Shanghai firmly anchors the strategic needs of the Party and the country, supporting universities to quickly establish a number of emerging interdisciplinary degree programs such as integrated circuits and engineering, intelligent science and technology, regional studies, and low altitude technology and engineering through dynamic adjustment, independent review, and extraordinary layout. Relying on high-level universities, it cultivates talents in urgently needed disciplines such as quantum science and technology, neural engineering and brain computer interface, synthetic biology, new energy technology and energy storage technology, and key software. System reform, breaking down the "wall" activation power, in order to remove the obstacles of "dare not transfer, unwilling to transfer, and not improve" in the transformation of scientific and technological achievements in universities, Shanghai has formulated several measures to support the systematic reform of the transformation of scientific and technological achievements in universities in the city, and improve the construction of the system for the transformation of scientific and technological achievements in universities. Support Fudan University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Tongji University and other universities to carry out a 3-year internal systematic reform, establish a closely coordinated working mechanism among multiple departments, and promote more laboratory achievements to become practical productivity. The reporter learned that as of now, a total of 20 universities in Shanghai have established specialized technology transfer and transformation institutions, and 14 universities have established national university science and technology parks. While supporting the systematic reform of universities and comprehensively promoting the transformation of scientific and technological achievements in universities, the Shanghai Municipal Education Commission also collaborates with Shanghai Guotou, Future Industry Fund, and Marketization Fund to promote two-way exchange activities such as "universities entering Guotou" and "Guotou entering universities", build a platform for project and capital docking, and guide more social capital to pay attention to and invest in early innovation projects in universities. Supporting universities and local government departments to jointly establish a science and technology innovation fund, leveraging the role of the Shanghai University Student Science and Technology Entrepreneurship Foundation and university sub funds, to provide support for the transformation of innovative achievements and the development of entrepreneurial projects for researchers. For example, the first phase of the Fudan Science and Technology Innovation Fund has a scale of 1 billion yuan, focusing on hard technology fields such as life and health, integrated circuits, etc., guiding sub funds to become "patient capital" and "long-term capital" and invest in high growth projects. The "Shanghai Jiao Tong University Future Industry Mother Fund" is the first achievement transformation and alumni entrepreneurship guidance mother fund established by domestic universities, which has leveraged nearly 1.8 billion yuan in investment and supported more than 50 "Jiao Tong University" affiliated enterprises. In October 2025, the "2025 China Shanghai Education Exhibition" was successfully held in Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates, promoting Shanghai education and the "Study in Shanghai" brand as a whole. Visitors to the booth were in constant flow. Chinese and Pakistani universities are also exploring opportunities for cooperation, jointly expanding new spaces in academic research, teacher training, and youth exchanges. The "China Shanghai Education Exhibition" held annually in groups overseas not only increases the promotion of education in Shanghai, but also actively expands the source of students studying in China. Shanghai adheres to the principles of "talent attraction", "ability attraction", and "platform attraction". 16 universities have received over 500 international cooperation projects from the National Natural Science Foundation of China and published more than 60000 international cooperation papers. Seven Shanghai universities have established over 30 international cooperation joint laboratories with top international universities in fields such as biology, engineering, and communication. Some Shanghai universities have taken the lead in organizing or participating in international scientific programs. Shanghai has attracted a group of outstanding young scholars from overseas to work in Shanghai through hosting an international forum for young scholars and implementing the "Super Postdoctoral" program, with over 80% coming from prestigious overseas universities. Shanghai carries out high-quality Sino foreign cooperative education. Further optimize the regional and disciplinary layout of cooperative education, effectively absorb and utilize high-quality educational resources from abroad, and establish 148 high-level Sino foreign cooperative education institutions and projects, of which more than 50% are based on the "Double First Class" construction of universities. At the same time as "inviting in", Shanghai's higher education insists on "going out", selecting and sponsoring outstanding college students to intern at international organizations every year, supporting vocational colleges to build bases such as "Bisheng Workshop" overseas, encouraging vocational colleges to "go global" with enterprises, and providing innovative international talents for the integration of industry and education. Shanghai Education actively integrates into the global education governance system, supports Shanghai universities in participating in the construction of global professional standards, releases more than 110 ISO international standards for traditional Chinese medicine, develops the "China Plan" for international discipline evaluation, and expands international influence in the field of education through multiple channels. It is worth mentioning that during the 14th Five Year Plan period, the UNESCO International STEM Education Research Institute was established in Shanghai, and the UNESCO Teacher Education Center was established, highlighting Shanghai's important position in global education governance. At the same time, Shanghai universities rely on platforms such as the UNESCO Teacher Education Center, the SCO International Judicial Exchange and Cooperation Training Base, the WTO Asia Pacific Training Center, and the Asian Maritime Technical Cooperation Center to carry out international exchanges and cooperation; In combination with the characteristics of the school, various summer schools and "the Belt and Road" seminars have been set up, attracting thousands of senior officials and a large number of young and middle-aged professional talents from relevant countries to participate, and cultivating a large number of people who know and know China.
