“全面普及高中阶段教育”的内涵释要与路径选择

Universal Access to Upper Secondary Education:Connotations and Approaches

高中阶段教育是国民教育体系的重要组成部分,是衔接义务教育和高等教育的重要环节,具有承上启下的重要作用。《中国教育现代化2035》提出"全面普及高中阶段教育"的发展目标。"全面普及高中阶段教育",应以"普及"为基点,以建设中国特色高中阶段教育为重要内容;以学习大国、人力资源强国和人才强国的建设为内在追求;以辨析基本关系为抓手,以厘清其中所包含的价值问题为理论支撑。"全面普及"的推进需处理好规模扩张与质量提升、普通教育与职业教育、义务教育与非义务教育、均衡化与多样化、整体与局部这五对关系,重点在教育标准完善、供给结构调整、学校活力激发、教育需求引导等多方发力,推动普及模式从强调规模的外延式向强调质量的内涵式转变,实现中国高中阶段教育发展水平的全面提升。

An important integral part of the national system of education,upper secondary education serves as a crucial component linking compulsory education and higher education. According to China’s Education Modernization 2035,China has set the goal of "universal access to upper secondary education," which,based on "universal access," aims at pursuing upper secondary education with Chinese characteristics so as to build China into a big country of learning,and a great power with rich human resources and outstanding talents. We need to seek theoretical support by clarifying the values contained in the basic relationships. Specifically,we need to deal with five relationships:the relationships between scale expansion and quality improvement,between general education and vocational education,between compulsory education and non-compulsory education, between balanced development and diversified development,and between overall development and partial development. Also,we should focus on consummating educational standards,adjusting the structure of educational supplies,stimulating the vitality of schools,and directing the demands for education,and we should change from the stress on the "denotative" scale to the stress on the "connotative" quality so as to promote the overall development of China’s upper secondary education.
