Summary:碩士 === 國立暨南國際大學 === 比較教育研究所 === 85 === The reasons of England and Taiwan to develop the comprehensive ( high ) education system ( CSS ) are: their secondary schools can''t cultivate the qualified human resource necessary for the needs and demands of economic development; secondaryly, they also can''t meet people''s demands for receving higher education; and thirdly the transfering approaches can''t satisfy the needs of pupils of different types of secondary schools. Most of the commentators point out that the secondary education systems of thesetwo countries strangled their pupils'' opportunity of development. in the early 1960s, England reorganized its secondary schools, abolished 11 plus exam ,and provided pupils the rights to choose course in comprehensive schools. In 1996, Taiwan tried to develop and establish its comprehensive school system ( CSS ). One of the goals is to postpone the pupils'' educational differenciation. Because these two coutries had similar reasons to develop and establish their comprehensive school system, and England implemented it earlier than Taiwan, Taiwan can learn a lesson fromEngland. This research, firstly, analyses the issues of the implementation of the CSS of the two countries, then discloses present and future problems and dilemma of Taiwan''s comprehensive schools, and, finally, brings up the propositions. This is to help the Taiwanese education authorities prevent the critical problems in advance. The main methods used in this study are document analysis and comparative method. Firstly, to probe into the two countries'' backgrounds of establishing the CSS and their resorts. Secondly, to inquire the movement of the CSS of these two countries. Thirdly, to critically discuss the implementation of CSS. Finally, to bring up propositions in connection with Taiwan''s CSS according to the findings of this research. The final part of this dissertation is the summary. The two countries don''t fulfill the original resorts. Although England abolished the 11 plus exam , its comprehesive schools don''t equally recruit all kinds of students. The CSS in two countries limit the pupils'' rights of course choice. Since Taiwanese education authorities has tried to establish its CSS, it has to take the facts and ideals of secondary education into consideration, and harmonize with relevant measures. Then we may expect the sucess of the reform of secondary education.
