Application of AHP in Education Legislation Project

Abstract

Authorized by Shanghai education committee, we evaluated the education legislation project comprehensively. By adopting AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) and consulting experts, we built the evaluating system, achieving the combination of quantitative and qualitative measurement. In the evaluation, we broke through the previous methods like input-output analysis and balanced scorecard, and adopted AHP to quantify the problem. Overcoming the difficulties to observe and measure some activities or achievements of colleges, AHP operates scientifically and effectively. It only requires the comparison between every two factors to get the quantitative result of the index. This bold attempt breaks the limits of the difficulty to judge the qualitative problem, and we hope to spread AHP to more areas where qualitative problems are hard to measure.
