规模扩张的背后——分层的高等教育和断裂的社会

Behind the Scale Expansion The Stratification of Higher Education and the Fracture of Society

在高等教育分层理论和EMI假设的基础上,文章着重考察了高教规模扩张以后教育机会的阶层分布。认为当竞争从普遍入学转移到追求卓越之后,质的差异性将取代量的不均等而左右教育公平的实现。高教分层与社会分层相符应,复制并再生产了现存的社会关系,进而导致断裂社会的形成。

On the basis of the higher education stratification theory and EMI hypothesis, this paper emphasized to investigate the distrbution of educational opportunities in the social class after the scale expansion of higher education. It considered that when the competition shifted from universal enrollment to the pursuit of excellence, the qualitative differences will replace the quantitative inequality to affect the education equality. The stratification of higher education corresponded to the social stratification, duplicating and reproducing the existing social relations, and leading to the social fracture.
