National defense education is a purposeful social activity, through a certain outlook on war, national defense security, interests, and national defense knowledge, to exert influence on all military and civilians, to cultivate citizens' defense concepts and martial spirit, to consciously safeguard national interests, and to defend against foreign aggression. Its purpose is to strengthen the concept of national defense and enhance the awareness of national defense. At present, the international situation is turbulent, and the importance of national defense education is self-evident, and it has become a consensus to continue to strengthen national defense education for the whole people. National defense education includes two parts: military skills education and national defense theory education, and military skills are the core ability to defend against foreign aggression. At present, schools at all levels in China are the main fronts of national defense education, and according to the differences in knowledge and behavioral ability of different ages, college students are the main group for military skills training. Colleges and universities have conducted relevant military skills training for students through military training and other activities, and some colleges and universities have also promoted the further development of military skills of some students through the construction of elective courses. However, due to the nature of the school and the limitations of disciplines, the military skills courses are not related to the students' schedules, study and life, and the military skills courses carried out by colleges and universities have limited improvement in the students' military skills level and the effect is limited to the trainees themselves. On the contrary, if the courses carried out in colleges and universities can be related to students' professional learning, and if students have the opportunity and ability to disseminate what they have learned in school to the surrounding masses after graduation, then can the national defense education in schools be truly transformed into national defense education for the whole people. Measured from the perspective of disciplines and specialties and the closeness of contact with the masses after work, the public security academy with semi-militarized management best meets the requirements of the indicators. First of all, the content of the police skills course and the military skills course in the public security colleges overlap or are similar, and the police skills course runs through the entire university career as a compulsory public basic course, so students have more learning and training opportunities. Second, the main content of public security work is to serve the masses, and the degree of close contact between graduates of public security academies and the masses is not found in other professions. In view of this situation, strengthening the construction of military skills courses in public security academies and universities will play a tremendous role in promoting the development of all-round defense capabilities.
How to carry out the construction of military skills courses in public security academies?
First, the current police skills courses in public security colleges and universities are compared with the military skills courses of national defense education to find out the differences between the courses.
Second, how to present the skills courses that can be included in the public security education system to students through the setting of compulsory and elective courses, so as to reduce the difference between military and police skills courses;
Third, through training, students of public security academies and universities will have the ability to conduct military skills training while mastering military skills, so that every public security student can become a carrier of military skills, disseminate military skills to the masses through public security work, and improve the audience of military skills;
Fourth, we should hire professional talents, strengthen the construction of professional teachers, and improve the level of teaching and training.
