上海市人民政府教育卫生办公室、市成人教育委员会、中共上海市委组织部、市人事局联合组织编写的“90年代上海紧缺人才培训工程教学系列丛书”将陆续出版。编写、出版这套丛书是实施上海紧缺人才培训工程的基础工作之一，对推动培养和造就适应上海经济建设和社会发展急需的专业技术人才必将起到的作用。

90年代是振兴上海、开发浦东关键的十年。上海要成为国际经济、金融、贸易中心之一，成为长江流域经济发展的“龙头”，很大程度上取决于上海能否有效地提高上海人的整体素质，能否培养和造就出一大批坚持为上海经济建设和社会发展服务，既懂经济，懂法律，懂外语，又善于经济管理，擅长国际竞争，适应社会主义市场经济新秩序的多层次专业人才。这已越来越成为广大上海人民的共同认识。
