ABSTRACT

A healthy and sustainable higher education system has an impact on a country's efforts to further educate its citizens. In order to better evaluate and promote the healthy and sustainable development of higher education system, this paper establishes a model to evaluate the healthy and sustainable development of higher education. First of all, nine second-level indicators are selected and transformed into six first-level indicators by EWM, and a health assessment model is constructed by combining evaluation method with analytic hierarchy process. The improved AHP algorithm modified by CRITIC is used to calculate the weight of the first-level index, and the comprehensive score is the health index (HI) of the higher education system of various countries. Then taking the HI of each country's higher education system in 2018 as its current situation, it is found that China has great differences in various indicators, good funding conditions, and room for improvement. Finally, China is selected as the main analysis object to get the data of 28 sustainable development evaluation indicators in 7 aspects under the "7e framework", and the sustainable development evaluation model is constructed by using grey relational analysis (GRA). Then the influence degree of each index on system health is obtained.
