最近召开的中共十六大确立了全面建设小康社会的奋斗目标，明确提出要形成比较完善的现代国民教育体系，人民享有接受良好教育的机会；形成全民学习、终身学习的学习型社会，促进人的全面发展。这是新的历史时期我国教育改革和发展的行动指南，对于远程教育的发展也有极其重要? The 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) recently held its goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way. It clearly proposed that a fairly complete system of modern national education should be formed and that the people should have the opportunity to receive good education. A learning society should be established for all people and for lifelong learning to promote people All-round development. This is a guideline for the action of educational reform and development in our country in the new historical period and is of great importance to the development of distance education.
