农村教育在国家现代化进程中究竟位居何处?——从“分级办学”到“以县为主”的制度变迁分析

Where Is Rural Education in the State's Modernization Process?

从“分级办学”和“以县为主”体制出台的背景分析中,容易发现,与“优先发展”和“重中之重”的国家教育发展战略构成强烈反差的是,它们只不过是国家宏观财政体制变革与稳定农村社会的一种政治考量和滞后安排而已。这就表明,在各级政府的实际现代化战略中,教育尤其是农村教育实际上只是处于一种十分“边缘化”的位置上。农村教育的这一尴尬境遇,只有通过国家高层做出实质性的政治决定,才可能从根本加以扭转与改观。

If people probe into the transformation from the hierarchy-based system to county-based system,they could find it easily that the two systems in the rural education investment just had been arranged to repair the holes which were torn by the state's macro-financial system reform and the rural 'fee-to-tax reform'.Only when the state's higher leaders make political decision in the macro-financial system,can the marginalized fate of rural education be altered in the process of modernization.
