A Research On The Balanced Development Of Compulsory Education In A County Area

By absorbing and inheriting the previous achievement about the balanced development of compulsory education, the article has a deep analysis of its essence,extension and value tropism. Based on this the author puts forward a new and scientific theory about the balanced development of compulsory education. Through spot check to two counties with different economic development and cultural atmosphere the author summarizes the factors embarrassing the balanced development of compulsory education. Besides, by comparative study and factual investigation the author tries to establish the standard system of the balanced development of compulsory education in a county area and put up some scientific conception and practice pattern so as to offer some theoretical guidance and experimental paradigm for the balanced development of compulsory education in a county area. The balanced development of compulsory education in a county area means the county government must set up the idea of the balanced development,adjust the strategy of the development of compulsory education according to the factual condition, realize the balanced development of compulsory education between the country and the city,make sure the balanced development of compulsory education in the same area and insure different people could have equal rights and conditions in receiving education. The basic representation of it is that the schools in the country and city should develop according to the unified standard on the aspects of outlay devotion,schoolhouse building,establishment equipment and teachers arrangement so as to realize the standardization of school building,the equilibrium of teachers arrangement and the high quality of education development. The theory of the balanced development of compulsory education is founded on the following theories: educational equality,educational justice,educational democratization,resource distribution and scientific development. The value tropism includes two aspects: pursuing educational justice to guarantee human equal rights comes true in education area; insisting on the compulsory education with high efficiency and high quality develops with justice.
