Abstract:

The promoting of the modernization of educational governance is inseparable from its effective construction. In China, the construction of educational governance mainly benefits from the continuous reform of the government functions and the social construction since the reform and opening-up policy. There appeared two analytical approaches based on the two aspects above: the state logic and the social logic. The former believes that the educational governance relies on state construction and highlights the dominant status of the state, while the latter emphasizes that educational governance is a joint governance involving multiple subjects. Both are trying to build the different conceptual framework and practice paths, but have not paid enough attention to “education” itself. In the new era of China, we need to highlight the position of “education” which means that “education” is the common interest, the action criteria and the association way of “governance”.

Key words: educational governance, state logic, social logic, educational logic
