Implementation and expansion of schoolrunning autonomy depends largely on completion of the structure of governance of higher learning institutions. The present structure of governance in higher learning institutions offers several problems, such as a vague boundary between academic and executive categories, and absence of academic workers in the system of academic evaluation. Therefore, completing the structure of governance requires that a full display be given to the academic committee as the leading factor, that the autonomy of colleges and grassroot academic organizations be expanded, that a supervising organ be established and completed in higher learning institutions and that a full play be given to the role of the representative assembly of teachers and workers and the students’union in running the school. In a word, an academicpowerbased structure of governance cannot be established unless service function of executive power is intensified and academic logic is highlighted in higher learning institutions.
