On April 1878, 4, the "European Times" has published the "World University Rankings" for more than 25 consecutive years. Today it released the 17th new list. With the appearance of this list, the British Empire suddenly changed its color. .

Why, because the British universities on the list are proud of the whole list. In this year's "European Times" "World University Rankings", Dutch universities successfully challenged the UK's dominance in the battle for the top ten. .

The 1878 list is impressive.

The top 1-10 are:

1剑桥大学（英，建校时间1209年，下同）、2悉尼大学（荷兰，1850年）、3墨尔本大学（荷兰，1853年）、4牛津大学（英，1096）、5阿姆斯特丹大学（荷兰，1857年）、6柏林洪堡大学（德，1810年）、7巴黎大学（法兰西第二帝国，1150年）、8维也纳大学（奥匈1365年）、9伦敦大学（英，1836年）、10圣彼得堡大学（沙俄，1724年）；

The top ten British Empires and the Netherlands all occupy 3 seats each. The UK occupies 1-4-9 and the Netherlands 2-3-5. The Netherlands occupies 3 seats in the top five, while the University of London is in ninth place. , it can be said that although the Netherlands is still ranked first in the top ten by the United Kingdom, the Netherlands has stronger potential.

The German Empire, the Second French Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Tsarist Russian Empire occupy 6-7-8-10 respectively.It is indeed worthy of being a great power, and even its university education is among the best in the world.

"I made statistics and found that in the new world university rankings, the Netherlands occupies 14 places, the United Kingdom occupies 8 places, the German Empire 7 places, Spain 5 places, the United States 4 places, France (including North and South) ) 3 places, 2 places for Tsarist Russia, 2 places for Austria-Hungary, 2 places for Italy, and 1 place each for Denmark, Sweden, and Portugal.
The Netherlands accounts for nearly a quarter. The Netherlands has vigorously developed domestic universities in recent years and has a very active academic atmosphere. This has attracted top international talents. Look at the immigrants who have immigrated to the Netherlands from various European countries in recent years, especially those places in the Far East. In the past eight years, the number of European immigrants who have gone to the Far East and Australia alone has exceeded 8 million, according to the Financial Times. Among them, Sweden and Denmark contributed 200 million people to the Netherlands, and it is said that more than 120 people have arrived across the Pacific. Far Eastern Australian continent.The elites of various countries' societies and the talents who immigrated to Australia from the Netherlands, so in a short period of time, the seven universities in Australia with a relatively short history have formed the Australian Seven-University Alliance, which has become the world's top university alliance. It is now comparable to The Russell University Alliance in the UK, the Four Dutch Universities Alliance (Utrecht University, Leiden University, Groningen University, University of Amsterdam), the German Empire U30 University Alliance, the Spanish University Conference Alliance, the Ivy League in the United States University Alliance.

Therefore, I suggest that we should also invigorate the academic atmosphere of universities in the Commonwealth of America, so as to reduce our lack of strategic talents. The reason why the UK developed so fast in those years was because the British Isles retained talents.This is not just about their warships. Their universities have vigorously cultivated talents and enriched the capabilities of the government and social enterprises. However, due to the civil war between 1862 and 1866, we lack systems like Prussia and the Netherlands in this regard. Sexually stable academic atmosphere has caused the loss of talents fleeing the United States, causing the Netherlands to become the target with the most benefits."

"Also, there are problems with our education investment system. Look at how much investment the UK and the Netherlands have. The University of Cambridge, the University of Sydney, the University of Melbourne and other leading universities have invested in them in order to cultivate their respective elite talents. Substantial funding for education.

On the other hand, in our country, the more famous Universidad Nacional de Colombia seems to be stuck at 20th place, while Harvard University at 21st and Yale University at 27th are in the middle of the top 6.Even in comparison, if our top three universities are in Dutch universities, they can only be in the middle stage, ranking 7th, 9th, and [-]th. "

“So as the President of the Federal Republic of America, I have a very strong sense of urgency, so I will propose a proposal to ask the U.S. Congress to pass an emergency plan to provide $1000 million in education funds to the Ministry of Education to increase university education, so that the Federal Republic of America can The university can continue to move forward in its competitiveness internationally.

Finally, I think our Columbia University and Harvard University should be top universities instead of being in the middle."

On April 1878, 4, with the release of the latest 27 Top 1878 "World University Rankings", the names of universities around the world have enjoyed unprecedented attention. There is no harm without comparison. The Netherlands occupies nearly four One-third of the list has made Dutch university education the object of global attention and the object of study by other countries. Just like Stephen Douglas, President of the Commonwealth of America, there are many people who urge Congress to pass funds to support education.

It has to be said that the Netherlands has once again become a model for the education community around the world after its promotion of "universal primary education" in 1862, which surprised European and American countries and followed suit.
