In society, consumer, environmental, women's, labor and other movements rose up one after another, and yet education, like an impregnable fortress, remained unchanged. Looking back today, it appears that just as the various social movements started to die down, the educational-reform movement--as if having a delayed reaction to the changing times--took off full steam.
七十年代初，政治氛圍開始鬆動，當消費者、環保、婦女、勞工等社會運動一波波展開時，唯獨教育領域似乎是座難以撼動的古老堡壘。然而今天回顧，卻發現當各種社運訴求都轉趨沈寂時，教育改革卻後勁十足地邁著大步，而且腳步之快，令人咋舌。
