A Study of Reorganization of Secondary Education in England : With special notices to specialist schools

这项研究旨在澄清如何在英格兰的中等教育一直在改变，通过专注于专科学校。这些学校的数量是如何增长的，它们将如何为“提高标准”政策做出贡献，以及它们在多大程度上履行了自己对社区的作用？特殊学校作为“提标”政策的重要组成部分，通过对2000年中等专业学校成绩表的分析，其外部考试成绩相对较好，但与预期相比，仍有改进的空间。我们应该注意到，政府似乎强调技术或职业方面，以提供多样化的中等教育。一些英国研究人员认为，他们相对良好的成绩并不能解释他们指定的专业学校，我们可能会寻找另一个原因。一般来说，专业学校没有很大的服务，他们周围的社区，除了一些例外。我们不能因为专业学校的相对成功就对专业学校的作用妄下定论，而必须密切关注英国中等教育现代化的发展进程。

This study intends to clarify how secondary education in England has been changing through focussing specialist schools. How are those schoois growing their numbers, how would they contribute to the 'Raislng Standards' poiicy, and to what extent are they performing their roie to their communities? SDecialist schoois are regareded as imDortant parts oi the "Raising standards" poiicy, according to our analysis of the secondary perlormance table of 2000, their results of external examinations were relatively good but not so good as had expected, although there has siili been expectaiion for improvement. We should remark the government seems to emohasize technical or vocationai aspects in order to deliver diversity of secondary education.Some English researchers argued their relalively good results were not explained by iheir designation to specialist schools and we might look for another reasons.Generally speaking, specialist schools have not great services to their surrounding communities with some exceptions. We should not make rash decision about effects of specialist schools in spite of thelr relative success, and must deiiberately watch the develoning process of modern-ization of secondary education in England.
