Reforming the model after 18 years:
1. Outcome based budgeting: shortening the period between outcome and budget
2. Incentivizing institutions to hire new faculty and strengthen competitive advantages
3. Competition for excellence in research: emphasizing scientific publications and competitive grants
4. Addressing national needs: periphery, labor market
5. The model is transparent to institutions and general public
