A Historical Review and Realistic Review of the Development of After-school Training Institutions in China:Based on the Perspective of Public Welfare and For-profit Competition
Over the past 70 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China,with the evolution of school-running na-ture and school-running mode,our after-school training institutions have successively experienced four stages development:the initial stage of establishment,the stage of recovery and growth,the stage of comprehensive expansion,and the stage of standard-ized development.Tracing the development process,the competition between public welfare and for-profit school-running models has become the main logic behind their evolution.Centered around the three core questions of"for whom to run,who runs,and how to run"after-school training institutions,the understanding and improvement of their school-running nature and modes by the Party and the state have continued to deepen.Historical experience and lessons prove that the development of after-school training institutions must adhere to the direction of socialist school running,handle the relationship between public welfare and for-profit school running,and the role of government and market mechanism,clarify the boundary with the development of school and fami-ly education,improve the accessibility of quality public welfare after-school education resources,and seek long-term,healthy and sustainable development.
