Popularizing and strengthening national defense education is of great and far-reaching significance for rallying the will and strength of the whole nation, strengthening the modernization of national defense and the army, advancing the cause of Socialism with Chinese characteristics and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Second, the significance of developing national defense education for primary and secondary school students
Young is prosperous; If the youth is strong, the country will be strong. The national defense education of primary and middle school students is the foundation of national education. Only by improving the national defense awareness of primary and secondary school students can we inspire the national spirit and make our nation stand among the nations in the world.
China is in an important period of strategic opportunities for development, and the national security situation remains generally stable. However, the increasing trend of comprehensiveness, complexity and variability of national security issues has put forward new requirements for safeguarding national sovereignty, security and development interests. It is urgent to strengthen the national defense education of the whole people from a strategic and overall perspective, strengthen the national security awareness and hardship awareness of the broad masses of cadres and people, create a good atmosphere of caring for and supporting national defense and army building, and enhance China's national defense strength and national cohesion. National defense education for primary and secondary school students is a new subject for the healthy development of primary and secondary education.
1. Strengthening the national defense education of primary and middle school students is the need of the development and change of the new international situation.
With the constant change of the world pattern and the change of the war trend, the future war is not only a contest of national manpower, financial resources and material resources, but also a competition of advanced science and technology. In other words, whoever has advanced science and technology will have military superiority. Therefore, our army needs a large number of high-quality talents. If we only rely on military academies to train military talents, the training cost is high and the training period is long, which is far from meeting the needs of the troops. Therefore, to popularize military knowledge, we should start with the cultivation of young people and improve the national defense awareness and ability of the whole people. It is one of the important links to set up national defense courses in primary and secondary schools and cultivate students' military national defense consciousness. It is necessary to strengthen the education of national defense awareness of primary and secondary school students, promote the improvement of national defense awareness of primary and secondary school students, and lay a solid foundation for their future construction and defense of the motherland.
2. Strengthening the national defense education of primary and middle school students is the need of the present situation of national defense education in China.
Due to the widening gap between the rich and the poor, the increase of laid-off unemployment, the concept of money first, graduation unemployment and other reasons, espionage incidents have been rising in recent years. Teenagers, in particular, lack basic knowledge of national defense and insufficient understanding of the country's security situation and national defense policy, which affects the role of students in the construction of national defense reserve forces to some extent. In order to change this situation, we must strengthen national defense education in schools. This is not only conducive to national defense construction, but also conducive to enhancing students' sense of patriotism and national hardship.
After years of hard work, military training in primary and secondary schools in China must gradually become institutionalized, scientific and standardized, so as to rapidly improve students' quality. Through military training, they have significantly improved their thinking, style, discipline, morality, style of study, self-management and collectivism.
3. Strengthening national defense education is helpful to cultivate the excellent quality of primary and secondary school students who suffer hardships first and enjoy the future.
Now most students are only children, and they are usually more dependent on their parents. National defense courses can help students develop good qualities such as strict discipline and hard work through military story explanation, on-the-spot investigation and actual combat training. Moreover, it can stimulate students' patriotic enthusiasm, carry forward the spirit of revolutionary heroism and collectivism, and play a special role in improving students' physical and mental quality, developing good behavior habits, feeling the philosophy of being a man and experiencing the glory and pride of military life. It is an effective way for schools to implement moral education.
4. Strengthening national defense education is helpful to enhance the national defense awareness of primary and secondary school students and enhance the national centripetal force and cohesion.
A country and nation can only prosper if they have strong national cohesion and centripetal force, which is its prerequisite. National defense education is essentially a vivid national ideological education activity with patriotism as the core and the premise of adapting to the national security situation. Its basic function is to stimulate students' patriotic enthusiasm, strengthen the awareness of the supremacy of national interests, and cultivate students' national spirit and integrity for national security and development.
In the era when Napoleon dominated Europe, the French people established a cohesive force and centripetal force to be brave and good at fighting, defend their country and defend their country, and defeat the enemy. Unfortunately, this power is not always implemented. After Napoleon, France lost its cohesion and centripetal force to be brave and good at fighting, defend the country and resist the enemy, the government gradually became corrupt, the national defense gradually slackened, the social value of soldiers was gradually forgotten, and patriotism and honor became the objects of public satire. By the time of the Franco-Prussian War, France's national defense force had disappeared, and the Prussian army was on a roll and conquered Paris, a European political center with a history of about 200 years. Today, realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is the dream of the whole party and people of all nationalities, and it is the cohesion and centripetal force of the Chinese nation. National defense education can strengthen people's patriotic beliefs, put the interests of the country and the nation in the supreme position, set the goal of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, consciously safeguard national interests, and enhance national cohesion and centripetal force. Therefore, developing national defense education among primary and secondary school students has long-term political and strategic significance, and it is also a realistic and important national education project.
