Since the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the goal of building a well-off society in China has been achieved in stages from reaching a well-off level in general to building a well-off society in an all-round way. Accordingly, higher education has achieved a quantitative development from massive higher education to universal higher education, and begun to shift from extensional development to connotative development in qualitative aspects. At the same time, higher education has also played a powerful role in promoting the realization of various national strategies during the period of building a well-off society in terms of talent team construction, cultivation of innovative personnel, scientific research and development, excellent cultural inheritance, and transformation of scientific and technological achievements and other aspects. The transformation of the main social contradictions in the country poses new challenges to the development of higher education. Higher education should further strengthen its connotative development, focus on the fundamentals of talent cultivation, realize balanced regional development of higher education, and improve the driving force for higher education innovation.
