Then Vice President Lin Feng pointed out that we should raise the admission standard, enhance the qualification examination and adopt the modular teaching method in international students education so as to teach the students in accordance of their aptitude.
Finally, President Sun Xiaoping emphasized the implementation of the principle “Carry out the international education moderately and soundly”. He noted that international education is an important task that serves the national strategy, so we should not only be fully aware of its significance to construction and development of SAU, but also work with spirit of utter devotion. At the same time, he put forward that reasonable teaching incentive mechanism should be introduced so as to guarantee the teaching input and teaching achievements and then can create the external environment for the teaching subject’s teaching behavior with high quality. At last, he stressed that more attention needed to be paid to the communication and cooperation between the different sectors in order to amend the “short board” that had mentioned above.
This teaching seminar determined the future work objectives for the related sectors and colleges and also laid a solid foundation for ensuring the implementation.
