邓小平同志一直在密切关注着教育事业的发展。在“文革”后期,他不顾个人安危,第一次复出就大声疾呼:“我们有个危机,可能发生在教育部门,把整个现代化水平拖住了。”①提出要大力整顿教育。“文革”结束,他再次复出后,又亲手抓教育战线的拨乱反正,以推翻“两个估计”为突破口, Comrade Deng Xiaoping has been paying close attention to the development of education. In the latter part of the Cultural Revolution, despite his own personal safety, he cried out for the first time: “We have a crisis that may take place in the education sector and drag the entire modernization level.” 1 He proposed that education should be vigorously rectified. After the “Cultural Revolution” ended, once again he came back again, and personally arrested the orderly disarray on the education front to overthrow the “two estimates” as a breakthrough point.
