5. Presently, an educational reform is under way that centers on curriculums and teaching materials. As our main goal, we will try to reform the educational system so that it focuses on the enhancement of the students’abilities instead of training them merely to pass exams.

With the reform deepening, we are beginning to have more than one series of textbooks under the same syllabus or, in some cases, even more than one syllabus for the same course. In order to enhance students’abilities and strengthen educational administration for the variety of syllabuses and teaching materials available, it is necessary for us to formulate teaching targets suited to China’s situation and particular subjects. Formulation of such targets is a difficult scientific project that must be organized and coordinated by the appropriate state education authorities.
