Educational Program for Rural Middle and Primary Schools (Draft for Discussion)

Abstract

The "Educational Program for Rural Middle and Primary Schools (Draft)" issued by the revolutionary committee of Li-shu hsien, Kirin Province, is published here for the purpose of discussion. This draft program has been drawn up by the revolutionary committee of Li-shu hsien and other concerned sectors. We have also canvassed the opinions of the poor and lower-middle peasants of some communes, and of teachers and students to make certain revisions. Notations have been made where views differ. It is hoped that the broad poor and lower-middle peasant masses of the whole country, the officers of the Liberation Army engaged in supporting agriculture, as well as the concerned comrades of the provincial, local, and hsien revolutionary committees, will actively participate in the discussions and make suggestions for supplements and revisions. In this way we hope that a broad spectrum of views can be collected, that experiences can be summarized, and, after distinguishing the circumstances and a certain period of discussions and revisions, that this educational program may come to be more in keeping with the practices in various places, as well as more substantive and perfect.
