内涵式发展是与外延式发展相对应的一个概念。外延式发展,即受外在条件、目的及需要等外部因素的影响控制;内涵式发展,则是受自身内部的规律、结构及质量等内部因素支配,是在外延式发展的基础上进行自身的协调优化。通过剖析我国民族高等教育的发展历程,明析从外延式发展向内涵式发展转变是其自身发展与社会发展的必然要求。推进民族高等教育的内涵式发展,应当以提高民族高等教育质量为重、以培养少数民族地区人才为本、以民族文化传承与创新为特色。这是遵循民族高等教育内在规律的改革发展。The connotative development and the extensive development is a synthesis that filled with dialectical unity.The extensive development was influenced and controlled by external condition,external objective,requirement and so on.The connotative development,contrarily,was dominated by its own internal rules,structure,quality and so on.The connotative development coordinates and optimizes itself based on the extensive development.Through the deep analysis of the development of Chinese national higher education,it can be seen that the process from the extensive development to the connotative development is an inevitable direction for its own development as well as social development.Following its own external rules,promoting the development of national higher education is a reform and development which lays much emphasis on improving the quality of higher education and cultivating the talents of ethnic regions,and is also marked by inheritance and innovation of the national culture.广西哲学社会科学规划2013年度课题“民族地区高等教育内涵式发展研究”(13MJ13)； “广西特聘专家”项目经费资
