改革开放以来,尤其是近年来,五华教育尤其是“两基”教育取得了长足的发展。但由于基础差、底子薄,人口基数大,基础教育总体水平与梅州市其他县(市、区)相比还处于落后行列,尤其是高中教育成为教育发展的瓶颈。2003年,全县初中毕业生升学率仅为49%,远不能满足农村孩子继续上学 Since the reform and opening up, especially in recent years, Wuhua education, especially the “two-base” education, has achieved considerable development. However, due to the poor foundation, thin foundation, and large population base, the overall level of basic education is still lagging behind other counties (cities, districts) in Meizhou, especially high school education has become a bottleneck for educational development. In 2003, the rate of enrollment for junior high school graduates in the county was only 49%, which was far from meeting the needs of rural children attending school.
