Functional Maladjustment of Ethnic Education and the Rectification

As an important component of the whole national education,ethnic education has commonalities with general functions of education,but at the same time it has its ethnic uniqueness different from common education.In reality,the functioning of ethnic education is maladjusted in that the function of making-a-living is over-emphasized,of personal enjoyment shrouded,of cultural heritage weakened,of promoting national unity inadequate,and of propelling social movement unsmooth.To improve the functions of ethnic education,we should adjust the structure of education,improve the tempo-spatial relationships between the factors of education,grasp the orientation of education function,take both the individual and society into consideration,enrich education content and bring into full play all the functions of ethnic education.
