双优先:教育现代化的中国模式——为改革开放四十周年而作

摘要 40年前，中国做出了实行改革开放的重大决策，实现了经济的持续增长。与此同时，中国始终把实现教育现代化作为奋斗目标，实现了教育的超常规发展，把一个近14亿的人口大国变成了一个人力资源大国，与经济、社会发展形成了良好的互动。这种关系是怎样形成的?这种成就是怎样取得的?本文揭示了中国教育发展的最大秘密，即国家优先发展教育、教育优先满足国家发展需要的"双优先"模式，并探讨了这一模式的背景、特点、原因和运行方式。
Abstract：China has achieved sustained economic growth, thanks to its great policy decision to reform and open up forty years ago. Meanwhile, persistent efforts have been made in China to pursue education mod-ernization. All this has contributed to the unprecedented education development, consolidating a population of nearly 1. 4 billion into a powerful human resource-centered nation and creating favorable interaction with social and economic development. In this study, we sought to answer how these achievements were gained and how the interaction came about. Also, we revealed that the greatest secret to China's education development was its dual priority model (DPM), whereby the government prioritized education development, which in turn fo-cused predominantly on promoting national development. Furthermore, we examined the background, charac-teristics, reasons, and mechanisms of the DPM.
