对于现代人来说,不平等的起源不是身份,不是金钱,而是教育的不平等。科学研究表明,6岁以前是人脑发育最快的时期,对学前教育每投入1美元,日后能获得17美元的收益。因此,富有远见的国家都非常重视学前教育,加大公共开支,把学前教育当作实现社会公正、增强国家竞争力的优先策略。 For modern people, the origin of inequality is not identity, not money, but education inequality. Scientific studies show that before the age of 6 is the fastest growing human brain, investing one dollar for pre-primary education and earning a further 17 dollars in the future. Therefore, far-sighted countries attach great importance to pre-school education, increase public expenditure, and regard preschool education as a priority strategy for achieving social justice and enhancing their national competitiveness.
