Features: This book presents to the readers a fascinating dialogue between scholars and decision-makers, as well as between academic culture and decision-making culture, regarding the development of education in China during the 10th Five-Year Plan period, with a particular focus on the development of basic education. Compulsory education is the top priority in China's education sector. Our reality is running a large education system with limited resources, but a large country must also strive to have a strong education system. How to maintain the necessary tension between a large education system and a strong education system? How to address the relationship between basic education and other types of education? How to handle the various relationships within basic education? The authors, with their wisdom, passion, and sense of national responsibility, not only express their views but also showcase their thought process. They not only discuss the rationality and effectiveness of educational policy content but also explore the rationality and effectiveness of the decision-making process itself.
