Editor's Introduction

The topic chosen for this issue deals with the problem of relating educational plans and policies to research that provides factual bases for the decisions involved. In European education, the concern for rational bases for planning and policy decisions is rather novel, but it grows in urgency as the striving for structural changes and curriculum modernization gains momentum in all countries.     

Editor's Introduction

Chairman Mao, our great teacher, leader, commander, and helmsman, commands a formidable revolutionary army of hundreds of millions to unleash a general offensive on Liu Shao-ch'i, who is the foremost authority in the party taking the capitalist line. Hundreds of millions of people concentrate their fire to pursue and attack in order to criticize thoroughly the revisionist line Liu Shao-ch'i has promoted in politics, economics, culture, and education. The great proletarian cultural revolution has entered a brand new stage of decisive war!     

Editor's Note

This issue of Chinese Education completes the translation of Hung Ch'i, 1970, No. 8, the first part of which appeared in the previous issue. It also continues the series of translations from the book Comrade Mao Tse-tung on Education Work begun by the previous editor of this journal. All of the articles in this book have appeared at one time or another in English translation - most of them in the Selected Works of Mao Tse-tung. The purpose of republishing them here is to bring them together for easy reference. We are, however, departing from the practice of the previous editor of retranslating these articles, and will instead present them as translated by the Foreign Languages Press in Peking.
