Full Description
This book systematically reviews the educational thought of Mr. Gu Mingyuan, one of the most prestigious educationists in contemporary China, and details the development of his pioneering educational ideas. The content covers virtually all areas of education, from pre-school to higher education and lifelong learning, from general education to vocational education and informal learning. In the process, it comprehensively reflects Mr. Gu's insights on global education and his perspectives on Chinese education, reviews China's educational history, assesses the status quo, and outlines the future of education. Since he has not only been a significant witness but also a key promoter of all major educational changes since China's reform and opening up over the past 40 years, this book is more than a personal biography of a Chinese educationist; rather, it epitomizes the evolution of China's educational thinking over the past four decades.
