Though the higher education system has great significance to a nation, compelling model to evaluate the higher education system is currently lacking. Due to changes in the social environment, such as the epidemic, countries’ requirements for the health and sustainability of the higher education system are gradually increasing. To assess this system, a thorough evaluation model is established by k-means cluster analysis and TOPSIS analysis. 15 indicators in 8 countries from the Global Competitiveness Report (2009-2019) are selected. In addition, we choose China to do the further analysis. Calculation results of factor analysis show that there are 5 indicators with greater influence among 15 indicators. It makes sense to increase the weights of these five indicators in China for more sustainable development.
