项目摘要

THERE ARE BASIC DIFFERENCES IN EDUCATIONAL POLICY AND ITS PURPOSES BETWEEN TATHCHER'S AND BLAIR'S GOVERNMENTS IN ENGLAND, EVEN THOUGH THEY SHARE THE SAME FRAMEWORK. IT IS THE FRAMEWORK, THE INVESTIGATORS CALL "QUALITY ASSURANCE STATE--QAS", THAT USES MARKET MECHANISMS, SCHOOL CHOICE, LOCAL MANAGEMENT OF SCHOOL STANDARDS AND TEST, AND INSPECTION AS WELL AS DIVERSIFIED PROVIDERS. HOWEVER, QAS UNDER THATCHER WAS INTENDED TO GET RID OF THE WEAKEST SCHOOL FROM THE MARKET BY USING PARENTAL CHOICE. THE RESULTS WERE TO PROVIDE INFORMATION TO PARENTS. ON THE CONTRARY, QAS UNDER BLAIR HAS BEEN WORKING TO RAISE STANDARDS AND TO BUILD A LIFE LONG LEARNING SOCIETY USING THE RESULTS AS THE REASONS OF INTERVENTIION OF LOCAL EDUCATION AUTHORITY OR CENTRAL GOVERNMENT TO TAKE A REMEDY TO THE NEGATIVE ASPECTS OF SCHOOL. AT THE SAME TIME, SCHOOL CHOICE OR MARKET MECHANISMS ARE RECONGNISED AS THE TRIGER TO GIVE THE VOICE TO MINORITIES. IF PARENTS BECOME MORE AWARE OF THEIR CHILDRENS' EDUCATION, THEY MIGHT PLAY AS STAKEFOLDERS WITH INTERESTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES.FURTHERMORE, THE BLAIR FIRST GOVERNMENT INTRODUCED "CITIZENSHIP EDUCATION" IN ORDER TO BUILD A LIFE LONG LEARNING SOCIETY. THIS POINT IS NOT WELL UNDERSTOOD. EQUAL ACCESS FOR EVERYONE IS A TARGET, SO CULTURAL AND ETHNIC DIFFERENCES HAVE TO BE RESPECTED AND RECOGNISED AS ITS OWN RIGHT. IT IS A NEW CHALLENGE.HOWEVER, SINCE THE BLAIR GOVERNMENT WANTS TO SEE DEVELOPMENT OF A MERITCRACY SOCIETY, THERE ARE BIG ARGUMENTS OVER WHAT COUNTS AS EDUCATION AND AS WHO ARE WELL EDUCATED. THESE ISSUES NOW NEED A FURTHER RESEARCH.

教育政策及其在英格兰政府之间的教育政策及其目的存在基本差异，即使它们共享相同的框架。调查人员称之为“质量保证国家 - QA”是该框架，它使用了市场机制，学校选择，学校标准和测试的地方管理以及检查以及多元化的提供商。但是，撒切尔（Thatcher）领导下的QA旨在通过使用父母选择来摆脱市场上最弱的学校。结果是为父母提供信息。相反，布莱尔（Blair）领导下的QA一直在努力提高标准，并利用结果作为当地教育局或中央政府进行干预的原因，以弥补学校的负面方面。同时，当Triger向少数民族发出声音时，将学校选择或市场机制重新处理。如果父母更加意识到孩子的教育，他们可能会扮演有兴趣和责任的利益者。这一点还不太理解。每个人的平等获取都是一个目标，因此必须尊重和公认的文化和种族差异本身。这是一个新的挑战。但是，由于布莱尔政府希望看到一个杰出社会的发展，因此关于什么是教育和受过良好教育的人有很大的论据。这些问题现在需要进一步研究。
