向社会主义市场经济过渡过程中,民族地区在实施九年义务教育方面反映的问题日益突出,尤其是学龄儿童失学现象愈来愈严重。针对这个问题,笔者于最近对于城步苗族自治县7——12、13——15周岁的学龄儿童、少年的失学情况进行了抽样调查。从调查的情况看,该县学龄儿童的失学现象是十分严重的,现已面临令人堪忧的严峻局面。 In the process of transition to a socialist market economy, the problems that minority regions reflect in their implementation of nine-year compulsory education have become increasingly prominent. In particular, the phenomenon of school-age children dropping out of school has become increasingly serious. In response to this problem, I recently conducted a sample survey on the out-of-school conditions of school-age children and adolescents aged 7-12 and 13-15 in Chengbu Miao Autonomous County. Judging from the survey, the school-age children in the county are seriously out of school and are now facing a grave and grim situation.
