These two normal universities in China have the same origin, but now their strengths are worlds apart, which is a pity

With the development and changes of the times, the development trend of higher education is also very rapid. For domestic colleges and universities, we can see that they are actively adapting to this era, and at the same time, they have gradually explored some paths suitable for their own development. In the process, there are many twists and turns. We know that in the 1950s, Nanjing University was a typical representative of the adjustment of colleges and departments in major universities across the country. Its predecessor, "National Central University", was split into 22 universities. Many Colleges and universities have become the top universities in China, such as Southeast University, Hohai University, Fourth Military Medical University, Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, etc. are very strong. In addition, in the wave of university mergers in 2000, the pattern of domestic colleges and universities has changed a lot. Among them, Zhejiang University can be said to be very prominent. After the merger, Zhejiang University has developed very fast recently, and even advanced to the third place in China. The name shows its strength and status. In addition to these high-strength colleges and universities, there are also

declining colleges. Next, let's take a look at the two domestic normal universities from the same lineage, but now their strengths are worlds apart, which is a pity!

Today we want to say that the two universities are Beijing Normal University and Northwest Normal University. Both of these universities originated from the Normal University of the Beijing Normal University, but after years of development, the strength of the two universities is very different. Nowadays, when it comes to domestic normal universities, in terms of reputation and strength, Beijing Normal University can be said to bear the brunt. The school is located in the famous colleges and universities in the capital Beijing, and is also known as Tsinghua University, Peking University, and Renmin University of China. It is a top comprehensive university in China that belongs to "985", "211" and "Double First-Class". In terms of discipline construction, the school has 5 first-level national key disciplines, 11 second-level national key disciplines, and There are 11 disciplines selected into the list of world-class construction disciplines, and they have performed very well in the discipline evaluation. 15 disciplines have been rated as A, and there are 6 A+ disciplines. Education, psychology, Chinese language and literature, Chinese history, geography and other professional strengths are among the best in China, which shows its status.

Compared with Beijing Normal University, Northwest Normal University, which has the same root and the same origin, is far inferior to Beijing Normal University in terms of strength, and the development of the school can be described as very tortuous. The school first originated from the Beijing Normal University in 1902. However, during the Anti-Japanese War, it was the same as other schools. Several colleges and universities were formed together as the National Northwest United University, which is the Teachers College. Later, after several reforms, it became the Northwest Normal University located in Lanzhou, Gansu Province. It is not very advantageous in terms of geographical location, the economy is backward, and the supply of various resources is seriously insufficient. , the development of the school is very limited, and Shaanxi Normal University, which also belongs to the northwest region, is located in the prosperous Xi'an, and is a key normal university directly under the Ministry of Education. Today it can be said to be recognized as one of the best normal universities. However, in recent years, Northwest Normal University has been implemented as a provincial and ministerial joint construction, and has received certain support, and its development is still very good.

Although Northwest Normal University does not occupy a superior geographical location like Beijing Normal University and Shaanxi Normal University, nor does it have the blessing of "985, 211", the school is often easily overlooked, but it is undeniable that the school's The strength is still very strong, and it can be compared with Shaanxi Normal University in terms of running a school. Moreover, the school has a long history, profound cultural heritage, and excellent discipline construction strength. Northwest Normal University has 9 majors that are national-level specialty majors, among which the chemistry discipline has entered ESI Global Top 1%. In the fourth round of subject evaluation by the Ministry of Education, Northwest Normal University won 9 Class B subjects. Such as education, mathematics, chemistry, Chinese language and literature, foreign linguistics, geography, fine arts, physics and other disciplines are very strong, this score is still very good in the provincial normal universities, and for a school It is also very difficult for non-211 universities.

Summary: The above is the introduction of the two normal universities in China. From the above analysis, we can see that the geographical location has a great impact on the development of universities. Compared with Beijing universities, Northwest universities have great influence on the development of universities. There is still a certain disparity in terms of strength. As far as the northwest region is concerned, most people think of Shaanxi first. When it comes to the famous schools in the northwest region, Xi'an, as the central city of the northwest region, has undertaken a large number of high-quality higher education resources, such as Xi'an Jiaotong University, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Shaanxi Normal University and other famous schools are all gathered here, but in addition to this city, there is another city worth paying attention to in the northwest, that is Lanzhou, where the once glorious Lanzhou University is located. There are also Lanzhou Jiaotong University, Lanzhou University of Technology, Northwest Normal University and other schools are also very good. In fact, among domestic universities, there are still many universities that are not well-known but very powerful. Compared with many famous universities, their cost performance is also very high, and we are also worthy of consideration.
