ABSTRACT

The higher education system is an important factor in a country's efforts to provide its citizens with continuing education other than primary and secondary education. Based on the mathematical modeling analysis in this field, this paper first determines the three main factors that affect the healthy development of the higher education system, namely, the proportion of government education expenditure in GDP, the gross enrollment rate of higher education, and the number of well-known universities in the country. Then TOPSIS comprehensive analysis method is used to calculate the ranking of the healthy development of higher education. Moreover, take South Africa as an example to provide a good vision and policy recommendations for its development. According to the current situation of higher education in South Africa, our team put forward the "higher Education Dream Construction Policy," which made a corresponding plan to develop a very healthy higher education system in South Africa.
