近一、二十年来,中东各国教育获得了很大的发展。这当然与各国经济的发展是分不开的,尤其是海湾国家利用巨额石油美元发展多样化经济。经济既巳发展,便要求教育要跟上、为社会提供具有良好素质的劳动力。同时,中东国家普遍认识到经济发展、社会进步与科技教育文化之发展息息相关。因此,各国十分重视教育,增加经费,兴办各级各类学校,致力于提高本国的教育水平,并且取得可喜的成绩。本文拟从基础教育、高等教育和扫盲教育三大方面来阐述中东国家发展教育的情况。 In the past one or two decades, education in various countries in the Middle East has made great strides. This of course is inseparable from the economic development of all countries. In particular, the Gulf countries make use of huge oil dollars to develop a diversified economy. Since the economy has developed, we must demand that education be kept up to provide the community with a well-qualified workforce. At the same time, the Middle East countries have generally realized that economic development and social progress are closely linked with the development of the science and technology education culture. Therefore, all countries attach great importance to education, increase funding, set up various types of schools at all levels, commit themselves to raising the education level in their own country, and make gratifying achievements. This article intends to elaborate the development education in Middle East countries from three aspects: basic education, higher education and literacy education.
