普通高校办成人高等教育是我国高等教育的传统,近几年来,受高校办学内外环境变化的影响,成人高等教育办学质量越来越受社会的关注,有的学者甚至因个别学校出现买文凭的现象进而建议取消成人高等教育。是耶?非耶?拿建国以来成人高等教育的成就作注脚,问题的关键不在成人高等教育要不要,而在于其质量内核是否还存在于办学个体当中。 In recent years, the quality of adult higher education has been paid more and more attention by the society due to the changes of the environment inside and outside the colleges and universities. Some scholars even pay attention to the purchase of diplomas in some schools because of their higher education quality. The phenomenon further suggests that adult higher education should be abolished. Is it true? Yes, it is important to note the achievements made by adult higher education since the founding of the People’s Republic. The crux of the problem is not whether adult higher education wants it, but whether its core of quality still exists among the individuals who run schools.
