素质教育的推进必须弱化威权、强化权威

要优化我国基础教育的环境、大力推进素质教育,政府部门应发挥积极作用。但政府部门的威权主义行为和权威不足非但未使基础教育的应试倾向得到有效遏制,反而加剧了应试倾向与学生素质发展间的对立,抑制了广大校长和教师的教改愿望,并使素质教育形式化了。而政府部门要在推进素质教育上发挥应有的作用,必须依法行政和增强学校的组织性以弱化威权,必须在教育管理过程中加大合法权力的投入和实行权、责统一以强化权威。

Promotion of Quality Education Must Weaken Authoritarian but Strengthen Authority

Government should play an active role in optimizing the environment for the basic education and furthering promoting the quality education in our country. However, the government's authoritarianism and lack of authority has aggravated the opposition between the exam-oriented education and the quality education and hold back both the principals' and teachers' desire to carry out the teaching reform, resulting in the formalization of quality education. If the government wants to play its role in promoting the quality education, it must deal with things in accordance with law and strengthen the school organization to weaken the authoritarian and meantime, increase the investment of legal power in the educational management and realize the unification of power and responsibility to strengthen the authority.
