Abstract

Since the 1980s, China has entered an era of transformation which has extended its reach to education and school reforms. The "New Basic Education" (NBE) was born in this era and implemented by the East China Normal University together with schools around the country. NBE aims at nurturing the active, healthy development of a new generation of Chinese people, focusing on classroom teaching and reform, and life practice within the classroom, as well as a reconstruction of school management. A breakthrough has been made with the development of a system that is suitable for the practice of education in China.
