The General Offices of the CCP Central Committee and the State Council issued Opinions on advancing university reform by classification, directing the construction of a classified university development system that distinguishes comprehensive and specialized orientations, establishes a classification framework, and adopts multi-adaptive classification models based on institutional affiliation. The document mandates coordinated development between centrally affiliated and local universities, integrated allocation of higher-education resources, optimization of talent-training structures, and coordinated use of domestic and international resources. It seeks to energize classified development by: using Double First-Class construction to guide research-university reform; strengthening applied, high-quality specialized undergraduate institutions and disciplines and refining high-level vocational college and program plans to support regional economic and social development; bolstering industry-focused universities to reinforce innovation and service the real economy; and piloting integrated higher-education models and new national elite-innovation talent training approaches.
