学习让城市更美好：开放大学的使命与责任 ─ 在”2008世界开放与远程教育论坛”上的主题报告

Better Learning Better City：Mission and Responsibility of Open Universities

“为了一切学习者，一切为了学习者”，这就是时代赋予开放大学的使命和责任，是开放大学生存的理由和发展的主题。我们认为，”为了一切学习者”就是说，开放大学的教育服务应该面向社会全体成员，对所有学习者一视同仁，为他们提供同样优质的教育服务。”一切为了学习者”就是说，开放大学应该以全面发展为主线，调动学校一切力量和资源，努力营造”人人成才”的育人环境。开放大学只有置身于无比广阔的社会”海洋”中，想人们所想，急人们所急，以积极主动的姿态服务于广大学习者，其教育的开放性和崇高性才能得到充分体现；只有以社会的发展和人的全面发展为航标来调整自己的航向，既着眼于现在又放眼于未来，开放大学才能与人民同呼吸、共命运，并获得强大的生命力和发展动力。
