A Basic Study on Education of Chinese Minority Groups

(1)我们研究的主要对象之一的新疆自治区今年发生的反政府和反汉族示威活动似乎表明了中国少数民族问题的重要性和我们正在进行的这类研究的意义。(2)虽然这项工程将于今年结束，但新疆自治区民族教育和民族教育的关系似乎更加紧张。(3)尽管中国的少数民族政策将继续具有社会主义原则和多元文化主义的复杂性，在维吾尔族和哈扎克族的情况下，离心力和向心力之间的文化冲突和紧张将更加加剧。(4)关于这种紧张，丸山写了一篇关于“文化载体”的论文(《教育与邪教研究报告》，第49期，1997年)(5)国家边界少数民族的文化特征之一是来自边界另一边的影响。在本研究中，我们收集了哈萨克斯坦维吾尔族和哈扎克族文化影响的印刷资料。(6)我们收集了一些关于少数民族音乐教育的数据，但我们还没有完成这类研究。(7)在美国火奴鲁鲁举行的第48届亚洲研究协会年会上报道了这项研究的一部分。

(1) The anti-governmental and anti-Han nationality demonstrations that occurred this year at Xinjiang Autonomous Region that is one of the main subjects of our research seem to show the importance of Chinese minority problems and significance of this type of research we are carrying on.(2) Although this project is to finish this year, interrelations between national education and ethnic education seem to become tense even more in Xinjiang Autonomous Region.(3) While Chinese policy concerning the minority groups will continue to have complexity of the socialistic principles and multiculturalism, cultural conflict and tension between centrifugal force and centripetal force will increase even more in the cases of the Uygurs and the Khazaks.(4) Concerning this tension, Maruyama wrote a paper on "cultural vector"(Res.Bul.of Res.Ins.of Comp.Educ.and Cult., No.49,1997)(5) One of the cultural characteristics of minority peoples at the national border is the impact from the other side of the boundary. In this study we collected printed materials on cultural influence on Uygur and Khazak from Kazakhstan.(6) We collected a few data on music education among the minority peoples, but we have not completed this type of study.(7) A part of this research was reported at the 48th Annual Meeting of the Association for Asian Studies at Honolulu, U.S.A.
