A Study of College Education Reform from the Perspective of Stake Holders

Abstract

The theory of stake holders is an effective theoretical framework for analyzing. While putting this framework into the study of college education reform, we could clearly identify which would be the most significant stake holder among the education reform. Through the contract paradigm of contractual relationship, colleges, teachers and students become the parties which involved in the process of education reform, are deemed as the most significant stake holders. By identifying the stake holders of college, teachers and students, the paper discusses the interrelation and problems among the three parties and proposes the coordination mechanism to solve the problem. The paper hopes to provide a new theoretical perspective for the further study of college education reform.
