教育变革,政府何为?——伦敦基础教育改革中的政府角色

What Role Should Government Play in Educational Reform: The Role of GLA in London's Basic Educational Reform

政府在教育变革与发展中应该发挥积极作用已经成为共识。随着城市化进程的加快,教育在城市经济发展中的作用日益重要,政府在城市教育发展中的作用也日益凸显。在此背景下,伦敦政府提出了基础教育改革和发展应该:为每一位伦敦儿童提供良好的教育环境;让优质教育涵盖伦敦每一所学校;为年轻人适应未来的国际大都市生活和工作做准备。伦敦的经验说明政府在基础教育改革中大有可为:政府应该充分发挥它的教育领导与服务职能,政策制定应该兼顾顶层设计和分层实施,财政投入着眼于公平而卓越的高位均衡。

It is a global conscience that the government can and should play a positive role in urban education reform and development. With the advent of the era of knowledge-driven economics and globalization, the role of education plays in the development of the global city is becoming increasingly important, and the GLA put forward the vision and main themes of basic education reform and development in this context, including ＂a good school place for every child＂, ＂promoting excellent teaching in all London schools＂ and ＂preparing young Londoners for life and work in a global city＂. The London experience tells us that the government could make a difference in educational reform, the government should play the role of educational leadership and service positively, and design multiple policies according to the education development, and balance the quality and equality by financial means.
