在上海城区和郊县,由老年人自发形成的学习团队正在悄然兴起,而且呈蓬勃发展之势。这些团队“自发组织,自愿参加;自由交流,自主管理;自我充实,自强不息”。这是一种新型的发展老年教育的模式,它为更多的老年人参与学习创造了条件,使得大规模扩大老年教育的覆盖面有了现实可能。 In Shanghai’s urban and suburban counties, learning groups formed spontaneously by the elderly are quietly rising and are booming. These teams “spontaneously organize, voluntarily participate in; freely communicate and manage themselves; self-fulfillment and self-improvement”. This is a new model for the development of education for the elderly, which has created the conditions for more seniors to participate in learning and makes it possible to expand the coverage of senior education on a large scale.
