The Maoist educational revolution
Among other fields, this study covers curriculum development at different levels of formal and out of school education in China since the Cultural Revolution - The primary school curriculum includes politics and language, arithmetic, revolutionary literature and art, military and physical education, and work experience programmes. The secondary school curriculum includes study of the thought of Mao Tse Tung (including history), agricultural studies (incuding relevant mathematics, physics, chemistry and economic geography), military and physical education, and productive labour. In college curriculum, stress is laid on polytechnical studies (including science and engineering), but courses are also available in liberal arts subjects and medicine (based on rural medical needs and including traditional Chinese medical practices). Adult education programmes include literacy work, acquisition of occupational skills, and political education. Major continuing curriculum problems have focussed on what priority to accord to academic standards and technical education as against to political education
