本文旨在反思「十二年國民基本教育」作為教育政策的適切性，主要的策略與發現有三：一是從政策的「背景」來說，「十二年國民基本教育」係為教育與政治結合的產物，須能去除「排斥」，彰顯「包容」的歷史觀；二是從政策的「名稱」來看，「十二年國民基本教育」須與「九年年國民教育」連結，方能周全地展現國民教育的完整性；三是從政策的「文本」來論，「十二年國民基本教育」不應陷入「趨勢優先」、「後段班情結」及「願景至上」的迷思，須以國民教育的現勢與實景為基礎，轉化趨勢及願景為合理可行的教育方案，才是正策。

This paper intend to reflect the relevance of the Twelve-Year Public Education Program as education policy. The main findings in this paper are as follows： (1) The Twelve-Year Public Education Program is the product of education and politics intertwined each other. (2) The Twelve-Year Public Education Program must connect with the Nine-Year Public Education Program in order to ensure the integrity of the National Public Education System. (3) The Twelve-Year Public Education Program Shouldn’t fall in three rhetorical myths： trend-priority, disadvantage-complex and vision-first. Therefore, the Twelve-Year Public Education Program should base on present conditions and to transform three rhetorical myths into the reasonable education program.
