This paper first outlines the developmental stages and the ‘pendulum pattern’ of the educational policy in the People's Republic of China. It then inquires into the dynamics of the pendulum pattern by employing the political influence framework. This inquiry reveals that the pendulum pattern is attributed to the ups and downs of the radical group and the moderate group, each having its own background, goals, resources and strategies. The limitations of their orientations in educational policy are discussed.
