In the first half of the 20th century, due to political and scientific reasons, most countries in the world were isolated and closed, and did not communicate with each other or know each other. However, since the 1950s, with the rapid development of science and technology and the change of international political structure, international exchanges have become increasingly frequent, especially the international integration of economic development, which immediately highlights the demand for international compound talents. In the 1990s, some countries began to establish international schools, offer international courses and adopt advanced teaching models, aiming at cultivating talents who can show their talents in future international affairs. This trend will be strengthened in 2 1 century. Pursuing the internationalization of education and talents will be a new growth point of education development in all countries. Due to the internationalization of economy and the international circulation of commodity trade, it will inevitably bring about the increase of international exchanges, which will lead to the desire for talents familiar with international economy, commerce, law, accounting, finance, transportation, public security and other aspects, and promote the birth of various international schools. (2) Pursuing the democratization of education is one of the rights that the bourgeoisie strives for and flaunts in the political arena, and it is also the victory of the bourgeoisie's struggle against the feudal landlord class. In the coming century, although the bourgeoisie continues to reform education, including the free system of public schools and the scholarship system of universities in compulsory education, the practical problems of democracy and fairness have not been completely solved. Democracy is a question about the state system and a political form. In capitalist society, democracy is the means of bourgeois dictatorship, and the bourgeoisie possesses the means of production and directly or indirectly controls the state power. Therefore, under the system of exploitation, with the democracy of the exploiting class, there will be no democracy of the exploited class. Working people enjoy equality, freedom and democracy in form, but in fact they are always in a position of exploitation and oppression, and so is education. Therefore, the problem of educational democracy will remain one of the main problems that education needs to solve in the 2 1 century. To realize the democratization of education through educational reform, the basic requirement is that educatees of different classes, nationalities and levels of physical and mental development enjoy equal rights and opportunities in the starting point, process and result of education.
(3) Pursuing educational diversification
Whether in China or abroad, the simplification of education has always been a common topic of educational reform in all countries of the world. The main manifestations of educational simplification are: the form of running a school, the educational structure, the length of the educational system, the curriculum and the training mode are similar or the same, and the training objectives emphasize commonness and lack individuality. In the process of education, we advocate synchronization, centralization and standardization, ignoring differences and individuality. Educational simplification is the reflection of traditional education in modern education. The diversification of education is determined by the development of modern society and human development. The diversification of social and economic ownership forms and the multi-level and multi-category of social industries and departments objectively require multi-level and multi-type. At the same time, people's value orientation, ideal needs and intellectual development are different. As well as the limitations of objective conditions such as work, life and age, it is decided that our education must face the reality of social and human needs and construct all aspects of education from the starting point of improving the quality of all citizens. 2 1 century should have some new features, from school system, curriculum and quality standards to specific training methods and education management.
(4) Pursuing lifelong education.
Lifelong education is an influential international educational trend of thought that appeared in the early 1960s. Since the mid-1980s, the concept of lifelong education has been recognized by most countries in the world. 2 1 century, lifelong education will still be one of the guiding ideology of education in various countries, the main reasons are as follows:
The sustained development of social economy, the continuous improvement of people's living standards and the increase of leisure time provide the possibility for lifelong education.
With the rapid development of science and technology, the investment in science, technology and culture in production is increasing, the requirements for workers' cultural quality are getting higher and higher, and the pressure of job hunting is getting greater and greater, thus putting forward the objective necessity of lifelong education.
Countries pay more and more attention to the role of education, which makes the development of education closer to the needs of the educated, thus providing reality for the implementation of lifelong education.
The emergence of a learning society, the improvement of people's ideological and moral awareness, the improvement of living standards and the academic needs of social employment, and the comprehensive role of many factors will certainly strengthen the spread and popularization of the concept and practice of lifelong education in the 2 1 century.
(5) Pursuing educational modernization
Pursuing and realizing educational modernization will be the mainstream of educational reform in all countries in the 2 1 century. In the second half of the 20th century, the world's major developed countries made various attempts and efforts in the process of educational modernization, and they all carried out some modernization edification and transformation from educational concepts, educational contents and educational systems to educational hardware facilities, educational methods, educational management and even the improvement of teachers' quality. The educational modernization in 2 1 century will not only continue the above-mentioned modernization reform, but also promote the development of educational modernization in depth. The development direction and content will include: scientifically dividing the regional standards of educational modernization, pursuing substantive changes in modernization, improving efficiency, perfecting content and improving quality. In a word, educational modernization will develop in the direction of connotation, with human modernization as the core of educational modernization. With the rapid improvement of productive forces and the rapid development of science and technology, education in the 2 1 century will be greatly promoted in the overall process of modernization, and the overall level will undergo unprecedented changes.
