ABSTRACT
In order to measure whether a country's higher education system is healthy and sustainable, the higher education system (hereinafter referred to as HES) is divided into three aspects: input, environment, and output. These three aspects are analyzed and refined respectively, which are used as indicators to quantify the HES and establish the evaluation framework of HES. Based on the entropy weight method improved by normalizing data collected from various countries of the world, the weight of three aspects and the scores of the health degree and sustainability of HES can be determined. Finally, after integrating results into GE matrix, a system is established to measure the health status of any country's HES. Based on the National Higher Education Evaluation System (hereinafter referred to as NHEES) established in this paper, further discussion is made to analyze and verify the effectiveness of the system. The application of the system can evaluate the health status of higher education in any country of the world, make relevant decisions and innovations to specific countries.
