中国传统文化博大精深、源远流长。早在两千多年前，就产生了以孔孟为代表的儒家学说和以老庄为代表的道家学说。从孔夫子到孙中山，中国传统文化有很多珍贵的思想。比如，强调仁爱、强调集体利益、强调天下为公，特别是强调吃苦耐劳、尊师重教的传统美德。所有这些，都对家庭、社会和国家起到了巨大的维系和调节作用。

中国教育改革的当务之急是要改进现有课程设置和考试办法，不要让孩子只知道死读书。教育改革的关键在于使全社会认识到中、小学教育的目的不只是让学生掌握必要的知识，更应该提高学生整体素质，特别是让他们对人生意义和社会责任这些根本性的问题要有比较深入的思考。学校要选择合适的方式引导学生形成正确的世界观。如果学校只强调知识教育而忽视了人生课程的引导，那么培养出来的只是一批文字或者数字机器。
The top priority in the reform of the education system should be given to the improvement in the curriculum and testing system so that the future generation will not study mechanically.The key to the reform of the education lies in arousing social awareness that primary and secondary education should aim not only to offer basic knowledge to students but also to improve their overall quality, especially to inspire them to ponder over some fundamental issues like the meaning of life and social responsibility. Schools should guide students in an appropriate way so that they can form a proper world view. If schools put undue emphasis on imparting knowledge while neglect the guidance on students’ life, they will produce nothing but machines only capable of memorizing words and numbers.

科教兴国战略是我国的一项基本国策。科技进步是经济发展的决定性因素，发展教育又是科技进步的基础。全球范围内日趋激烈的经济竞争，归根结底是科技和人才的竞争。科教工作的根本任务是提高全民族的思想道德素质、科学文化素质和创新能力。大力发展教育和科技事业是我国现代化事业进一步发展的需要，同时也是适应世界科技革命和全球经济竞争的需要。
The strategy of developing the country by relying on science and education is one of China’s basic state policies. Scientific and technological progress is a decisive factor in economic development, and educational development is the foundation of scientific and technological progress. The increasingly fierce economic competition across the world is, in the final analysis, the competition in science and technology and the competition for talents. The fundamental task of our work in science and education is to elevate the ideological and moral standards, the scientific and cultural level of the entire nation and its creative capabilities. The mission of vigorously developing education, science and technology is necessary for furthering China’s modernization drive and at the same time, for meeting the requirements of the world’s scientific and technological revolution and those of global economic competition.
