When it took control of China in 1949, the Communist government made
literacy one of its top priorities, a choice that made sense for a variety
of reasons. On the practical level, the nation's new leaders knew they
needed a better-educated workforce to carry out the rapid and massive
economic modernization campaign it was about to begin.
And, as a party that rode to power on a platform of egalitarianism, the
Communists were ideologically and politically committed to the notion of
breaking what had been, throughout Chinese history, the elite classes'
monopoly on culture, education, and opportunity. It is impossible to know
with any precision just how well the literacy drive has succeeded, partly
because of the inherent difficulties of measuring anything in a population
as huge and spread out as China's, and partly because of what have certainly
been specious claims of efficacy over the decades.
But according to the Ministry of Education, the overall literacy rate has
gone from 20 percent in 1950 to more than 85 percent in 2000. Between 1990
and 2000, the number of illiterate Chinese has been cut by 40 million. | y**o 发帖数: 8897 | 2 但是他们有民主
