本文简述成人教育的发展史。战后西德、日本恢复和发展国民经济的经验证明,当代政治、经济、军事竞争就是科技竞争,而实际是教育的竞争。近年来,我国高等药学院校(系)中有26所举办《专业证书》教学班,8个专业共招收3,115名学生,普遍受到社会的欢迎。为保证和提高教学质量,作者提出了几点建议。 This article briefly describes the history of adult education. The experience of West Germany and Japan in restoring and developing their national economy after the war proves that contemporary political, economic and military competition are the competition for science and technology, and actually the competition for education. In recent years, 26 colleges and universities (departments of higher education) have held “professional certificate” teaching classes, and 8 majors have enrolled 3,115 students, which are generally welcomed by the society. To ensure and improve the quality of teaching, the author made a few suggestions.
