据日本报纸去年年底报道,文部省的一项测验结果表明,日本中小学生的学业成绩有所下降,尤其在数学和社会这两门课程中,这种情况更为突出。 文部省的测验是2002年1～2月份举行的,共有20万名五、六年级小学生和24万名初中生参加,测验的问题覆盖了日语、数学、科学和社会,初中还有英语。在总共1921个题目中,为了便于比较,30％的题目也就是582个题目与1994年至1996年测验的题目完全相同。 According to a Japanese newspaper reported at the end of last year, a test conducted by the Ministry of Education and Municipality shows that the academic performance of Japanese primary and secondary school students has declined, especially in the two math and social curricula. The Ministry of Education examinations were held in January-February 2002, with a total of 200,000 pupils in grades five and six and 240,000 junior high school students participating in the quizzes covering Japanese, mathematics, science and society with junior high and English. Of a total of 1921 questions, 30% of the questions, 582 titles, are exactly the same as those of the 1994-1996 test, for comparison purposes.
