Under the background of "double first-class" and "application transformation and development", the promotion of first-class undergraduate education is the trend of establishing a classification system for Chinese universities, the implementation of classified management, and the inevitable requirement of strengthening the reform of undergraduate education in the field of higher education. Only when the local ethnic colleges and universities have a clear understanding of their own dilemmas and deficiencies in promoting undergraduate education, and thoroughly solved the bottlenecks restricting the development of undergraduate education, can they better cultivate high-quality undergraduates and better serve the political, economic and social development of ethnic regions, so as to create a win-win situation that meets the needs of the ethnic regions for talents and their own long-term development.
