底层关怀视角下的职业教育问题

Vocational Education from the Perspective of Bottom Class Care

人口众多和经济上的弱势地位是中国当代底层群体的两个显著特征。底层关怀要求在社会物品的分配上有利于底层群体,这具有博爱精神,并体现正义原则。作为一种社会物品,职业教育具有实用性与大众性的特点,因此是实施底层关怀的现实途径,并且在公共教育政策中常有体现。职业教育对底层群体有可能产生两种效应,一是把个体导向低端劳动力市场,从而进行社会阶层的再生产,二是提升个体的人力资本水平,保障就业,从而提升其生存与发展的能力。由于政府是教育资源的支配者,因此政府应当成为底层关怀的主体。
