随着中国加入WTO脚步声的日益临近,中国在下个世纪对有“创新意识”的人才需求也日益迫切。今年六月江泽民同志在全国教育工作会议上强调指出: "面对世界科技飞速发展的挑战,我们必须把增强民族创新能力摆到关系中华民族兴衰存亡的高度来认识,教育在培养民族创新精神和培养创造性人才方面肩负着特殊的使命。 As China’s accession to the WTO is stepping on its feet, China’s demand for talents with “innovative consciousness” will become increasingly urgent in the next century. In June this year, Comrade Jiang Zemin emphasized at the National Conference on Education: “To face the challenges of the rapid development of science and technology in the world, we must recognize that enhancing the ability of national innovation is related to the height of the rise and fall of the Chinese nation, and education is cultivating the national innovative spirit. It is a special mission to cultivate creative talents.
