改革教育制度,培养新世纪的合格公民,提高国家在知识经济时代的竞争力,是每个国家都面临的问题。在美国,教育改革同样受到全国上下的高度重视。美国是一个多元化的国家,全国的中小学课程设置并不统一。因此是否要针对不同的学习阶段规定统一的学习标准就成了一个争论不休的重大问题。互联网络的MSNBC网站刊载了 Reforming the education system, training qualified citizens in the new century and enhancing the competitiveness of the country in the era of knowledge-based economy are problems that every country faces. In the United States, education reform has also received the same attention from all over the country. The United States is a diversified country.
