1, the implementation of quality education is the need of China's socialist modernization and the urgent need to meet international competition.
2 1 century has arrived. China's economic system has changed from a planned economy to a socialist market economy, and the mode of economic growth has changed from extensive to intensive. We are implementing the strategies of "rejuvenating the country through science and education" and "sustainable development", and we should take the strategic initiative in the fierce international competition in the 2/kloc-0 century. In the grand practice of modernization and in the process of completing the new social transformation, we are faced with the problem of insufficient capital, technology and material resources, and the biggest problem is quality and talents. In China, a developing country with a large population and a weak foundation, how to turn the heavy population burden into the advantage of human resources is the key to modernization. As pointed out in the report of the 15th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, "China's modernization process largely depends on the improvement of national quality and the development of human resources." The improvement of national quality must rely on education, and the development of human resources refers to education. This requires us to give priority to the development of education and implement quality education. Only in this way can we realize the fundamental task of developing education and improving the quality of the people. As pointed out in the Outline of Education Reform and Development in China: "Developing education, improving the quality of the whole nation and transforming the heavy population burden into the advantage of human resources are the only way for China to realize socialist modernization."
2. The implementation of quality education is the need to meet the challenge of science and technology in 2 1 century.
The characteristics of contemporary scientific and technological development are: the speed of development is accelerated, and breakthroughs in new fields are increasing; The discipline is highly differentiated and comprehensive; The cycle of transforming science and technology into productive forces is greatly shortened; The spread of knowledge and information transcends time and space. The rapid development of contemporary science and technology has also brought about the continuous adjustment of industrial structure and the extensive flow of occupations. All these put forward new requirements for the cultivation and education of humanistic quality in the future. In order to better meet the challenges of science and technology and knowledge economy in the 2 1 century, everyone must study all his life and constantly adjust, improve and develop himself. Under the concept of lifelong education and big education, the stage of basic education has special significance. Everyone should lay a good foundation, develop basic quality, learn to learn and develop themselves independently in the stage of basic education.
3. Implementing quality education is not only the requirement of the society, but also the requirement of the education field itself.
China is implementing nine-year compulsory education. The so-called compulsory education refers to a certain period of education that must be guaranteed by the state, society and family according to law, and that school-age children and adolescents must receive. The implementation of compulsory education marks a revolutionary change in the concept of social education from a minority to the whole, from rights to obligations, from family and personal affairs to social affairs. The essential requirement of compulsory education is to let everyone get the development they deserve, and quality education is oriented to all people, which embodies this essential requirement of compulsory education.
Lifelong education is a key for us to open the door of 2 1 century. The concept of "lifelong education" was first applied to adult education, and then gradually applied to vocational education. Now it includes all aspects of the whole education process and personality development. "Therefore, lifelong education has become a tool and all forms of expression, and all expressions and teaching actions at all stages constitute a circular relationship." "It first cares about children's education and helps them live the life they deserve. At the same time, its main task is to train future adults and prepare them for various forms of autonomy and self-study. " This requires the implementation of quality education in the basic education stage to cultivate students' basic quality to meet the requirements of lifelong learning.
Implementing quality education is the need to overcome the tendency of "exam-oriented education". China's primary and secondary education has long been plagued by the tendency of "examination-oriented education" and the one-sided pursuit of the enrollment rate, which violates the principles of the Education Law and the Compulsory Education Law, affects the overall implementation of the national education policy, and is not conducive to the all-round development and healthy growth of the younger generation, the service of education for socialist modernization, and the socio-economic, political and cultural development in the 2/kloc-0 century.
The tendency of "exam-oriented education" can no longer meet the needs of the times, and the implementation of quality education is a basic education reform topic that has been gradually clarified and put forward in overcoming the tendency of "exam-oriented education". Quality education is the need of the times and society, the theme of China's basic education reform, and the general countermeasure to overcome the influence of "exam-oriented education".
