党的十一届三中全会以来，随着党和国家工作重点转移到以经济建设为中心，教育在社会主义现代化建设中的地位和作用也越来越重要，我国教育的改革和发展取得了很大的成就。
进入20世纪90年代，科学技术日新月异，知识经济初见端倪，综合国力竞争日趋激烈，我国社会主义市场经济建设步伐加快，知识和人才的作用日益重要，我国教育的改革和发展面临新的机遇和挑战。
一些长期困扰教育发展的问题越来越凸显出来，我国教育的改革和发展还滞后于建设中国特色社会主义的要求。
教育经费的增长还很不适应教育事业发展的需要，经费紧张仍然是制约我国教育发展的一个突出问题；教师工资偏低且被拖欠，教师工作生活条件较差，尤其是住房困难问题十分突出。这些都需要采取措施尽快解决。
1992年，党的十四大明确提出：“必须把教育摆在优先发展的战略地位，努力提高全民族的思想道德和科学文化水平，这是实现我国现代化的根本大计。”
1993年，党中央、国务院制定了《中国教育改革和发展纲要》，《中华人民共和国教师法》颁布。1995年，《中华人民共和国教育法》颁布，党中央、国务院决定实施科教兴国战略。
这些重大决策为解决我国教育问题指明了方向。我国教育进入了改革发展的新时期。
