20世纪70年代末,我国在借鉴国外一些成功经验的基础上设立了具有我国特色的广播电视大学,经过三十多年的探索,各级广播电视大学面临转型,纷纷要求设立开放大学。如何建立开放大学,开放大学的法律基础为何,需要有一个明确的立法支持。本文通过对国内外开放大学立法方面的研究综述,藉此为开放大学的立法研究奠定基础。 At the end of 1970s, our country set up a radio and television university with Chinese characteristics on the basis of some successful experiences of other countries. After more than 30 years of exploration, radio and television universities at all levels are facing the transition and all require the establishment of an open university. How to establish the legal basis for opening up an open university and opening up a university requires a clear legislative support. In this paper, we summarize the legislation of the Open University both at home and abroad and lay the foundation for the legislation study of the Open University.
