新中国成立以来,我国的少数民族教育事业在党的民族平等、民族团结政策指引下,从办学规模到办学形式,从办学内容到教学条件,从初等教育到高等教育,都取得了举世瞩目的成就。但是,少数民族地区教育与内地和东部发达地区相比,仍然存在一些问题。为了使少数民族教育同社会主义现代化建设相适应,国家有必要采取法律措施,通过立法手段,来保障少数民族教育健康快速发展。 Since the founding of New China, under the guidance of the party’s policy of ethnic equality and national unity, the education for ethnic minorities in our country has made remarkable achievements, from the scale of running a school to the mode of running a school, from the content of running a school to the teaching conditions, and from elementary education to higher education achievement. However, education in ethnic minority areas still has some problems compared with developed areas in the hinterland and the east. In order to adapt ethnic minority education to the socialist modernization, it is necessary for the state to take legal measures to ensure the healthy and rapid development of ethnic minority education through legislative means.
