高等教育的两难境地--论高等教育与社会的关系

高等教育与社会之间的关系问题是一个由来已久的问题.传统大学绝对独立于社会的历史如今已不现实,也不可取,而现代大学一味适应社会的做法也将预示着大学精神的衰落.在独立与适应之间找到平衡点,既不远离社会也不迎奉社会,与现实社会保持适当距离,是高等教育在处理自身与社会现实之间错综复杂关系的一种原则和策略.

The Dilemma of Higher Education --On the Relationship Between Higher Education and Society

The problem of the relationship between higher education and society is of long standing.The previous system that traditional universities are absolutely independent of society has come to be unrealistic and inadvisable nowadays.However,the current practice that modern universities indiscriminately adapt to society indicates a decline in the spirit of universities.In handling its complicated relationship with social reality,an appropriate principle and strategy for higher education is to achieve a balance between independence and adaptation,that is,neither escape from society nor cater for it,but to keep a proper distance from it.
