  • All these five aspects of education probably do not sound unfamiliar to the American educators except the last one--labor education. Chinese reformers of "quality education" regard cultivating a correct attitude towards manual labor and towards working people as more Important than learn ing some basic traits or skills in labor education. I think that I his belie! is influenced by Chinese educational radicalism of I lie twentieth century from anarchists to Tao Xingzhi to Mao Zedong. For an authoritative definition of "suzhi (quality) education" see Zhou Defan. "Ideas and practices on elementary school quality education" in A collection of elementary school quality education (Jiangyin, 1994) 10. In 1993, the Education Council of the province issued the document "Engineering of Educational Modernization in Southern Jiangsu," which served as the guide line for educational reform for the whole region, Ibid. 8, 11-17. The docu ment lists six goals to be achieved for modernization of education: modernization of concept of education, of educational systems, of curricula, teaching methods, and evaluations, of facilities and equipment, of faculty, of administration and management. In 1993, the CCP Central Committee and the Stale Council issued a document, calling on all Chinese elementary and middle schools to initiate the transition from "examination focused education" Io "quality education," thus endorsing the Jiangsu experience and promoting "quality education" nationwide.

Philosophically, there is a transition from a believer of idealism to one possessing dialectic materialism, In educational thoughts, there is a transition from a believer of Dewey's pragmatism to creatively advancing his own theory of life education, which is fundamentally different from Dewey's. See. For one thing, if Tao's radicalism can be defined as "communism," it is anarcho-communism rather than Marxist communism of the CCP. Not a single study in China mentions that because anarchism is still a dirty word
