Abstract

1976 was a watershed in the history of the People’s Republic of China (hereafter called China). After the death of Mao Zedong and the downfall of the ‘Gang of Four’, the new Chinese leadership gradually abandoned the ultra-leftist policy of ‘permanent revolution’ (buduan geming) and shifted its attention to achieving the four modernisations (sege xiandaihud) of China — a set of vague development goals grouped as the comprehensive modernisation of agriculture, industry, national defence and science and technology. A growth-oriented national development goal was put forward by Deng Xiaoping which, in operational terms, aimed at reaching a per capita GNP of $US800 by the year 2000.KeywordsMiddle SchoolCurriculum DevelopmentChinese Communist PartyCurriculum ChangeTertiary InstitutionThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
