In is paper, author explores the advancing course of Mainland China’s curriculum reform in the second half of the 20th century, and analyses the status quo, and prospects for the first half of the 21st century.

Secondly, the actual curriculum was much more rigid and conservative, and so people began to receive the progressive idea of the child-centred curriculum.
