This is a first attempt to apply the PSA
model to Chinese higher education (HE). As with all translations, there is room
for revision to achieve greater accuracy and precision. Further, the current
western model dominates our conception of how HE is provided and gives central
place to higher education institutions (HEIs) in the form of colleges and
universities. The PSA model does not and so such preconceptions must be set
aside in order to appreciate the translation.
You are invited to explore alternative higher education models. The professional and co-operative models I develop treat academics as entrepreneurs, not institutional employees. These alternatives are original and do not rely on the increased use of technology, public funding or venture capitalism; while they offer the possibility of sustainable, high quality, affordable, accessible, and equitable academic service.
