Education serving for the cultivation of natural man

在对教育理念的思考过程中,中国当代教育走过的是一条曲折之路。关于教育的本质这样一个基本问题,一直众说纷纭。有人认为教育目的是培养政治人、经济人或文化人,而作者则认为教育目的应该是培养‘咱然人”。我们的教育理念就是通过教育使不同人的个性在其可能的范围内得到充分发展。

Accompanied by the zigzag course of educational idea research, contemporary Chinese education has passed through a sinuate road. The doctrines of educational essence are of various kinds at present. Some scholars hold that education serves for the cultivation of political, of economical or of learned man, we insist on however that, for the cultivation of natural man. The idea of education should be the development as perfect as possible of individuality of every educatee by means of education.
