澳門現代高等教育治理模式變遷與政策回應

Modern higher education in Macao has been around for 40 years since the University of East Asia. Its governance model has experienced a process from “university autonomy” to “government control”, and then to “university-government-society shared governance”. The changes of governance model imply the equilibrium, contradiction and coordination among its stakeholders and the policy response based on this. Under the current governance model of higher education in Macao, the corresponding policies have been effective, university funding has been guaranteed, laws and regulations have been gradually improved, and the intermediary role has been brought into play. But there are also unavoidable dilemmas. There are tensions between university autonomy and government regulation, the discourse power of related stakeholders is uneven, and the quality assurance system is insufficient in social constraints. The policy adjustment of the governance of higher education in Macao must proceed from the overall system, explore the contingency of differences and the inevitability of unity, return to the logic of academia itself as the nature of existence, and construct a sustainable governance system
