Towards a New Model for Christian Education in China

教育事工的伙伴
客座社评
中國的教育制度備受批評，無論在國內或國外，倡議改革者大不乏人。在厭倦一個專注背誦和强記的教育制度之餘，家長們日益渴求一個包括品格培育和課外活動的全人教育制度。填鴨式教育只為學生的「高考」(大學入學試) 作好準備，並不傳授批判性思考能力予莘莘學子。

Church Schools or Home Schooling? Part 2
In September, the mainland site Christian Times published a piece originally posted on the China Home Schooling Alliance website about Christian education in China. In the article titled “Church Schools or Home Schooling?”, the author lays out what he believes to be the difference between Christian education conducted within a church setting and home schooling. He then sets out to argue that home schooling is the most effective way for Christians to educate their children.
The article provides an interesting glimpse into a conversation online taking place among Christians in China regarding an important issue. Due to the length of the original article, it is posted in two parts. Part 1 was posted on December 9, 2014.
