对“大跃进”时期江苏省农业中学的宏观历史考察

A Macro Historical Investigation of the Agricultural Middle Schools in Jiangsu Province during the "Great Leap Forward"

1958年,农业中学最先诞生于江苏省。在“大跃进”运动的影响下,江苏省农业中学的学校数量及在校人数迅速膨胀,成为全国教育“大跃进”的一个重要组成部分和表现形式。在整个“大跃进”时期,江苏省的农业中学始终保持了一个庞大的规模,直到中共中央决定对国民经济实行“调整、巩固、充实、提高”,其盲目发展的势头才得以遏制并开始逐步调整。

It was in Jiangsu Province that China's first agricultural middle schools were created in 1958. Under the impact of the 'Great Leap Forward', the number of such schools and their students in this province expanded rapidly, and these schools became an important integral part and a typical pattern of the 'Great Leap Forward' in the nation's education. Throughout the whole period of the 'Great Leap Forward', agricultural middle schools in Jiangsu Province always kept gigantic proportions. Not until Central Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to adopt the policy of 'readjustment, consolidation, filling out and raising standards' was the impetus of their reckless expansion curbed and did their gradual readjustment begin.
