20世纪末,英国政府突破只对高校科研与教学进行评价的局限,以"高等教育与商业及社区互动"调查开启了对高校社会服务的外部评价,该项目以多元化的评价内容、有效而稳定的数据收集、过程评价与结果评价相结合的方式对激活英国高校社会服务职能起到重要作用。2017年末,英国政府进一步开发"知识交换框架"评价项目,在高校分类评价、高校公益服务评价以及评价结果呈现方面进行了重大改革,将进一步激励高校参与社会服务活动。英国高校社会服务评价改革为我国激发高校社会服务潜能提供了有益借鉴。

At the end of the 20th century, the UK government broke through the limitations of scientific research and teaching assessment in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and began to assess HEIs social service externally by introducing the “Higher Education Business & Community Interaction(HE-BCI)” survey. Based on a diversified assessment content, effective and stable data collection, and the combination of process assessment and result assessment, the HE-BCI survey has activated the social service function of HEIs successfully. At the end of 2017, the UK government further developed the “Knowledge Exchange Framework” assessment program, and has carried out major reforms in the classified assessment of HEIs, the assessment of public service of HEIs and the presentation of assessment results, which will further encourage HEIs to participate in social service activities. The course of the UK HEIs assessment reforms on social service provides a valuable reference for our country to stimulate the potential of HEIs’ social service.
