Reforms in education were implemented to support the modernization
of science and technology. Following the death of Mao Zedong and the
end of the Cultural Revolution in 1976, the new leadership began to promote
the policy of “four modernizations:” agriculture, science
and technology, industry, and the military. Education was no longer dominated
by political slogans and ideological correctness, or “redness” as
it was called. The return to traditional subjects placed the emphasis
on developing expertise that would serve the modernization of the country. |
