ABSTRACT

The initiatives of AHELO （Assessment of Higher Education Learning Outcomes）, FQT （Fostering Quality Teaching in HEIs） and U-Multirank （Multidimensional Global University Ranking） promoted by OECD （Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development） and EU in recent years provide all-around assessment for the higher education quality at the levels of student, faculty and institution, which reflect the latest philosophy, criteria and methodology of the global higher educational reform and quality assurance. Appropriately participating in due course will facilitate the quality-improvement-oriented development of higher education in China. Based on the study of substantial content and latest development of AHELO, FQT and U-Multirank, this paper gives pros and cons of these initiatives, and offers proposals for participation.

The China Shipping Prosperity Index （CSPI） for the third quarter has climbed 15 points from the second quarter to 101.7 points, back to positive territory, which is above 100 points, according to the latest report form Shanghai International Shipping Institute （SISI）. This is the first time since the third quarter of 2011 that the CSPI returned to above the critical level. In the past two years, withering trade and overcapacity pushed the Chinese shipping industry down to a historical bottom. In the third quarter of 2012, when the CSPI fell to only 78 points, about 60 per cent of carriers in China suffered severe loss. Since the second quarter of this year, the Chinese government＇s policies to secure growth have taken effect and spurred an obvious growth in the country＇s investments and exports, which brought hope to the shipping market. The Baltic Dry Index has risen to over 2,100 points by far, a sharp increase of 180 per cent from the beginning of this year. The index surged nearly 80 per cent in September. The container shipping industry also shares the general improvement of the market. Since July, there have been several attempts to introduce rate increase. The spot rate from Shanghai to Europe was once more than doubled. Part of the carriers might be able to reverse their loss in the third quarter. However, the recovery might not be sustainable, as China is very likely to be able to meet the GDP target of 7.5 per cent growth and there will not be further policies to boost domestic economy. Meanwhile, the rebound of rates has stimulated deployment of new tonnage. Statistics show, capacity on Asia-Europe lane grew about three per cent in September but demand is not stable. The supply-demand imbalance caused a decrease of over US$100 per TEU in the container shipping rates in the last week of September.SISl＇s report estimated that the CSPI in the fourth quarter will be 99.56 points, falling again below the critical level. In face of such challenges,
