自20世纪90年代以来，新加坡政府提出了一项全面的大学教育重组计划。通过一系列的大学教育政策和改革，新加坡的公立大学将发展成为世界一流的大学。本文回顾了20世纪90年代中期以来新加坡大学教育政策和改革的主要发展，并批判性地考察了重组政策和改革对新加坡大学制度的影响。有人认为，新加坡的大学可以在更严格的公共问责框架内享有更高程度的院校自主权。大学重组政策不仅旨在转变新加坡作为地区教育中心的地位，还旨在将这个岛国的公立大学发展为世界级的高等教育机构。在结构调整过程中，新加坡的大学面临着许多前所未有的变化和挑战。
The Singapore government has put forward a comprehensive restructuring program of university education since the 1990s. Public universities in Singapore are going to be developed as world-class universities through a series of university education policies and reforms. This article reviews major developments of university education policies and reforms in Singapore since the mid-1990s and examines critically the impact of the restructuring policies and reforms on the university system in Singapore. It is argued that universities in Singapore can enjoy a higher degree of institutional autonomy within a more stringent framework of public accountability. The university restructuring policy is not only aimed at transforming Singapore as a regional education hub, but also developing public universities in the island-state as world-class higher education institutions. Singapore's universities have to cope with many unprecedented changes and challenges amidst the restructuring process.
