Cultural Heritage Education in the Curriculum of Nine-Year Compulsory Education of China:Sustainability of Ethnic Languages
Ethnic enclaves in China are home to rich and colorful cultural heritage.To boost its sustainable development,the Chinese government has issued a series of policies on heritage sustainability and protection,among which those concerning cultural heritage education are of extraordinary significance.This study analyses the curriculum setting of nine-year compulsory education,with its data selected by random cluster sampling from ethnic enclaves in five provinces in Southern China.Different from the situation in other areas inhabited by Han Chinese,bilingual education(mandarin and ethnic languages)has been promoted in ethnic areas.The results reveal that cultural heritage education is covered in the curriculum of primary and secondary education in these areas,both in tangible and intangible forms.Some core subjects including Chinese,mathematics,and English,where the medium of instruction is mandarin and ethnic languages,reveal the explicit cultivation in studentsawareness of ethnic language protection,while such science courses as geography allow students to visit cultural heritage sites in person,which show its implicit education in cultural heritage protection.
