Abstract
For the purpose of promoting the capital accumulation of monopoly capitals, the national government promotes the neoliberal structural reforms as the national project to reduce the welfare benefits to the public, such as public education, social welfare and public health. Since the public education is governed by local government, the national government is forcing local governments to carry out the neoliberal reform of education. However, local governments assume the responsibility to guarantee the right to education, and have a mission to underpin the realization of educational value by the schools and teachers. For this reason, the local government, as the facilitator of the neoliberal education policy, is faced with a serious dilemma.   In carrying forward the research of local government education policy under the structural reform, I think the following points are important.   1In order to overcome the inhibition of human growth and development caused by the neoliberal structural reforms, the locality must be reborn as a place of reproduction of materials as well as humanity itself, 2to promote the rebirth of local governments as the political and administrative form of residents’ autonomy.
