"Knowledge acquisition" dimension was regarded as the most important dimension."To have the opportunity to continue education on junior high school level" was regarded as the most important value item. 3.Most students put more emphasis on Chinese and English. However, older students put more emphasis on Health Education and less emphasis on Mathmatics and Chemistry-Physics. 4.Students' learning attitudes werenot positive enough.
