This proposition has brought, and will continue to bring profound effect on China's educational reform and development This thesis superficially inquires into the theoretical origin, logical construction, theoretical system, theoretical value and practical significance of Deng's educational proposition.In view of the theoretical origin of the proposition, it is the inheritance and development of Marxism's educational theory, and also the scientific system which comes down in one continuous line with ft.
