When education is prosperous, the country is prosperous, and when education is strong, the country is strong. All the world's great powers are educational powers, and education has always been a key factor in the rise of powerful countries. Recently, "Qiushi" magazine published an important article by the general secretary of the first class "Solidly Promoting the Construction of a Strong Country in Education". The article profoundly points out that building a strong country in education is the strategic forerunner of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way, an important support for realizing high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-reliance, an effective way to promote common prosperity for all people, and a basic project to comprehensively promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization. **The important exposition of the general secretary has given a new strategic position, historical mission and development pattern to the construction of an educational power, and provided forward guidance for us to promote the construction of an educational power in the new era and new journey.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have insisted on taking education as the major plan of the country and the party, made major decisions to accelerate the modernization of education and build a strong country in education, and promoted the education cause in the new era to achieve historic achievements and structural changes. China has built the world's largest education system, and the overall level of educational modernization has entered the ranks of the world's top countries. However, at the same time, it should also be noted that there are still many gaps, shortcomings and weaknesses in building a strong country in education, and it is necessary to further break down the conceptual shackles and institutional barriers that restrict the high-quality development of education, so as to inject new impetus into the construction of a strong country in education.
**The general secretary pointed out that the transformation from a big country in education to a strong country in education is a systematic leap and qualitative change, and it must be driven by reform and innovation. To comprehensively deepen the comprehensive reform in the field of education, the most important thing is to adhere to and strengthen the party's overall leadership over the education work, adhere to the fundamental task of establishing morality and cultivating people, adhere to the fundamental goal of educating people for the party and the country, firmly grasp the fundamental issue of education and the core topic of building a strong country in education, and cultivate new people of the era who will take on the great task of national rejuvenation. Adhere to high-quality development as the lifeline of all types of education at all levels, accelerate the construction of a high-quality education system, take the initiative to advance the layout, vigorously respond to changes, strive to open up new situations, accelerate the modernization of education, and form an education system and mechanism that is vibrant, efficient, more open, and conducive to high-quality development, and empower sustainable economic and social development with high-quality development of education. At the same time, we will persist in taking the construction of a strong country in education as an important task to serve high-quality development, and promote the construction of a strong country in education, science and technology, and talents in an integrated manner, so as to form a multiplier effect to promote high-quality development.
Grasp the relationship between improving efficiency and promoting equity. Educational equity is an important foundation for social equity, and it is also an intrinsic requirement for building a strong country in education. China's education has shifted from the stage of scale expansion to the stage of high-quality development, comprehensively deepening the comprehensive reform in the field of education, and empowering the strong foundation of Chinese-style modernization with the construction of a strong country in education. On the one hand, reform and innovation should stimulate the vitality of education development and improve the effectiveness of building a strong country in educationOn the other hand, efforts should be made to narrow the gap between urban and rural, regional, inter-school and group education, so that every child can enjoy fair and high-quality education, and better meet the people's expectations for "good education".
Grasp the relationship between systematic advancement and key breakthroughs. Educational reform is a complex system project, and it is necessary to adhere to the concept of systems, enhance the systematic, integral, and coordinated nature of reform, promote the reform of education methods, school-running models, management systems, and guarantee mechanisms as a whole, and comprehensively improve the modernization level of the educational governance system and governance capacity. Adhere to key breakthroughs, hold the "bull's nose" of reform, identify breakthroughs in reform, take deepening the reform of educational evaluation in the new era as the traction, give full play to the role of the "baton" of educational evaluation, and build an educational evaluation system with the participation of multiple subjects, in line with China's reality, and with world standards. The digitalization of education provides a new major opportunity for China's education development to open up a new track and shape new advantages, and it is necessary to further promote digital education to provide effective support for personalized learning, lifelong learning, expanding the coverage of high-quality educational resources and education modernization.
Grasp the relationship between taking root in China and integrating China and foreign countries. The development of China's education is inseparable from the world, and the development of world education is also inseparable from China. To comprehensively deepen the comprehensive reform in the field of education, it is necessary to inherit China's excellent educational tradition, adhere to independence and self-reliance, comprehensively improve the quality of independent training of talents, and unswervingly follow the development path of socialist education with Chinese characteristics. At the same time, we will unswervingly expand the opening up of education, improve the strategy and strategy of opening up education, strengthen exchanges and mutual learning with other countries in the world, optimize the global layout of education opening-up, and gather talents from all over the world to use them. Coordinate and do a good job in the two major articles of "bringing in" and "going out", effectively use world-class educational resources and innovative elements, actively participate in global education governance, and enhance the international influence and discourse power of China's education.
