1958年—1966年:对新中国农业中学的历史考察

An Investigation of the History of the Agricultural Secondary School of People's Republic of China (1958—1966)

农业中学是"大跃进"时期为满足农村高小毕业生升学要求,在国家政策对群众办学的支持推动下,由农民自创的一种半耕半读型职业中学,是教育战线上"大跃进"表现之一。在1958—1966年短短8年时间内,其经历了迅速崛起到调整压缩又再度发展直至"文革"消亡转型的过程。总结农业中学历史作用并分析其消亡原因,这些经验教训对当今我国的农村职业教育的发展具有重要的借鉴意义。

The agricultural secondary school, built by farmers themselves in the Great Leap Forward period, was a vocational school where students learnt and farmed. Under the national policies ' support for the public to open schools, agricultural secondary school was intended to satisfy the need of rural primary-school students to enter high schools. As a demonstration of the Great Leap Forward's impacts in education field, the agricultural secondary school experienced rapid rise, adjustment and reduction, re-development and decline during just eight years(from1958-1966). To sum up the historical influences of agricultural secondary school and analyze the causes of it s decline could be of significant value for the contemporary development of China 's agricultural vocational education in the countryside.
