1. AFTER THE REVOLUTION (EU208/17V)
教育改革
This programme explores some of the changes and experiments that have occurred in the educational system of the Czech Republic since the 'velvet revolution' of 1989. Evidence is provided of the apparent popularity of these changes by the adoption of modern curricular attitudes in the new 'private' schools, which charge relatively small fees, are largely state-subsidized, and provide a general stimulus to change elsewhere in the system.

2. THE ACADEMY OF WASTE? (EU208/18V)
意大利大學教育制度
The Italian university system is put under the spotlight in this programme. There are traditionally no limits on student numbers and, with the rapid expansion during the 1960s, there is now considerable overcrowding. Four universities are visited - La Sapienza, Rome, Luiss University, Bologna University, and Ca'Foscari University - to see the effect of the system on students, and to assess their chances of qualifying.

Two primary schools, the Ecole Nationale in France and Blaise School in England, are the focus of this programme. Both have a mixed intake of about 300 children.

5. A HARD ACT TO FOLLOW (EU208/23V)
競爭的環境
Since the 1988 Education Reform Act, the money a school receives depends mainly on its number of pupils, leading to increased competition between schools. This programme looks firstly at two UK primary schools, where competition is kept very much in the background and where word of mouth is the key to attracting pupils. In contrast, it then looks at Manchester High School, which has opted to market aggressively to the detriment of its relationships with neighbouring schools.

6. THE QUALIFICATION CHASE (EU208/25V)
為教學而教學?
This programme takes a challenging look at what schools and other educational institutions actually do in the modern world. The focus is on the argument of Ronald Dore who believes that schooling is not so much concerned with training people to 'do a job' than giving them qualifications to 'get a job'. The programme examines these functions of education in the 1990s, in Japan and Sri Lanka, two countries central to the Dore argument, as well as in the UK.
