为促进中国西部大开发,中国教育部和香港李嘉诚基金会共同实施了西部中小学远程教育项目。经过近3年的努力,现已在中国西部12个省、自治区、直辖市,3个少数民族自治县,和240个贫困县的10000所中小学建立了远程教育示范点。本文对该项目的发生、进展进行了归因分析。 To promote the great development of western China, the Ministry of Education of China and Hong Kong Li Ka Shing Foundation jointly implemented the distance education program in western primary and secondary schools. After nearly three years of efforts, distance education demonstration sites have now been set up in 10,000 primary and secondary schools in 12 provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central Government, 3 ethnic minority autonomous counties and 240 poor counties in western China.
