 Up to 2007, 2467 National Excellent Courses have been selected (including 256 IT courses) by MOE.  The click number surpassed 200,000,000 of website of national excellent courses and the resource shared system.  Many provinces and universities have established the excellent courses construction and the resource-shared websites  To share recourses, to open courseware  Up to 2007, 2467 National Excellent Courses have been selected (including 256 IT courses) by MOE.  The click number surpassed 200,000,000 of website of national excellent courses and the resource shared system.  Many provinces and universities have established the excellent courses construction and the resource-shared websites  To share recourses, to open courseware I.3 HEIs: IT Courses

I.3 HEIs: IT teaching materials  MOE organized 1200 kinds of national-level planned teaching materials in the tenth five year (newly organized and revised)  National Informationization Expert Inquiry board organized compiling a series of teaching materials on IT and information society.  Introduce the overseas outstanding computer teaching material vigorously ( 200 kinds of translation)

I.4 T raining system: IT Social training  About 200,000 training organization and 250,000 specialties engaged in the training work. 1,800,000 people receiving each kind of computer training  2,000,000 students participate in computer level test by The Ministry of Education Test Center Organization's every year  The transnational-enterprise certificate test (such as the Microsoft expertise authentication, SCO qualification authentication, CISCO qualification authentication); The domestic-enterprise training authentication (such as the Beida Qingniao, Qinghua Wan Bo, Dalian Hua Xin and so on)  Increase?

II. The problems and challenges  Fund investment is insufficient.  The teachers’ structure is unreasonable.  There is a big distance between the talent's training localization of target and the actual industrial demand.  The students’ practical ability and innovation ability is insufficient, and the international compettivity is not strong.  Informationization education ought to be further popular.  Fund investment is insufficient.  The teachers’ structure is unreasonable.  There is a big distance between the talent's training localization of target and the actual industrial demand.  The students’ practical ability and innovation ability is insufficient, and the international compettivity is not strong.  Informationization education ought to be further popular.

II. 1 Quantity vs. quality  Fund investment is insufficient.  The teachers’ structure is unreasonable.

II.2 IT field: Scarce talents  Quality: The students’ practical ability and innovation ability is insufficient, and the international compettivity is not strong.  There is a big distance between the higher education institutions and the actual industrial demand.  In 2007,Six ministries including MOE had issued jointly "Some propositions about Further Strengthening the scarce talents in the key domain" that IT field including software engineering, IC, information security, animation will be taken as the key support fields.
