Abstract:

Since the reform and opening up, China’s basic education quality monitoring and evaluation system has experienced three periods: the germination period relying on supervision and evaluation (1978—2001), the exploration and pilot period for education quality monitoring (2002—2014), and the construction and improvement period of the monitoring and evaluation system (from 2015 to present). Some basic experience has been obtained in value positioning, monitoring content, organization and implementation, application of results, operating system, etc., but there are also some problems and challenges in the construction of monitoring and evaluation systems. Based on the analysis of historical evolution, basic experience and existing problems, in future, the monitoring and evaluation system needs to fully embody and implement the Party’s education policy, exert the monitoring function through macro-control education supervision positioning, strengthen the connotation construction of monitoring systems at all levels, and to promote the deep integration of information technology and the monitoring system.

Key words: basic education, education quality, monitoring and evaluation system, evolution and trend
