一九五六年,丹阳县横塘乡的农民群众办起了一所民办中学。几年来,在党的领导下,这所学校满足了部分农民子女的升学要求,为高一级学校培养了新生,为农业战线输送了劳动后备力量。但是,它也存在着一些问题。早在一九五七年,毛主席就教导我们说:“我们的教育方针,应该使受教育者在德育、智育、体育几方面都得到发展,成为有社会主义觉悟的有文化的劳动者。”省委和省人委也曾经几次指出民办中学要“教育学生学习和掌握生产知识,为今后参加劳动生产创造 In 1956, the peasant masses in Hengtang Township, Danyang County set up a private secondary school. In the past few years, under the leadership of the Party, the school has met the requirements for the advancement of some peasant children, cultivated new students for higher schools, and provided labor reserves for the agricultural front. However, it also has some problems. As early as 1957, Chairman Mao taught us to say: “Our education policy should enable the educated to develop in moral education, intellectual education, and sports, and to become a social worker with a sense of socialism. The provincial party committee and the Provincial People’s Committee also pointed out on several occasions that private secondary schools should “educate students to learn and master production knowledge and create for future participation in labor production.”
