去年9、10月间,我随国家教委、国家计委、财政部组织的中国教育管理高级研讨班,参加了由联合国世界银行经济开发学院举办的研讨活动,历时一个多月。这里我将实地考察美国教育的一些情况整理出来,或许对了解美国教育有所帮助。要全面、深入了解象美国那种教育管理极为分散、教育体制相当庞杂的国家是很困难的,这里只能算见闻点滴,而且只是有关教育改革、职业技术教育、教育管理等几个侧面。 In September and October of last year, I attended the advanced seminar on Chinese education management organized by the State Education Commission, the State Development Planning Commission, and the Ministry of Finance and participated in the seminar organized by the United Nations World Bank Economic Development Institute. It took more than a month. Here I will sort out some of the situations in the field of American education, and perhaps help to understand American education. It is very difficult to comprehensively and thoroughly understand such countries as the United States whose educational management is extremely decentralized and whose education system is rather complex. This can only be seen and heard, and it is only related to education reform, vocational education, education and management.
