“During the Cold War, the great powers competed to prove their superiority in the field of education, and on that very level communism suffered its greatest defeat. The reform of education in short or long intervals was the goal of all the countries in the world, big or small, developed or developing, capitalist or former socialist. It became a matter of real necessity for the educational system to incorporate programme improvements, i.e., innovations performed constantly in certain time intervals, updated with recent achievements in science, technics and technology. The reform of education was, not without good reasons, dramatically introduced in some places as a question of national independence and survival. This was the case, first of all in the developing countries.” (09/03/04)
