中非命运共同体背景下中国高校对非合作的策略选择、现实挑战与应对路径

Abstract:The development of Sino-African relations against the backdrop of the China-Africa CommunityWith a Shared Future provides opportunities for China’s higher education institutions （HEIs） to cooperate with Africa. This article analyzes the cooperation with Africa in the internationalization of HEIs from the perspective of Jane Knight’s framework on the internationalization of higher education. With their advantages，Chinese HEIs conduct cooperation with Africa，in various forms，such as international student education，student exchanges，academic exchanges，scientific research cooperation，collaborations among universities，university-enterprise collaboration，international training，customized training，etc. However，China’s HEIs are facing competition among international community in conducting cooperation with Africa. Meanwhile，the political and social problems in African countries have negative impacts on China’s HEIs’ enthusiasm of conducting cooperation with Africa. To move forward，China’s HEIs should seize the opportunities of Sino-African relations，improve the level of international students by enhancing education and management quality of international students education. At the same time，they should enhance their own overall quality. In such a process，focus should be placed on long-term development instead of individual programs. It is also a better approach for HEIs to integrate cooperation with Africa into their overall development planning，and enhance faculty and students’ understanding about cultural diversity. Meanwhile，HEIs should develop cross-border education in various ways to export China’s high-quality higher education resources. Finally，it is also vital to boost cooperation with other universities and enterprises，and pay close attention to local needs and strategic planning in Africa.
