As the largest developing country in the world, China has an important responsibility in establishing a more open, inclusive, fair and cooperative higher education system. At present, China has embarked on a new journey of building a socialist country in an all-round way, and the demand for higher education, scientific knowledge and outstanding talents is more urgent than ever.
We should adhere to the highest pursuit of serving the strategic needs of the country, accelerate the high-quality development of higher education, and promote the deepening of education reform and the continuous improvement of development quality from five aspects: always firmly adhering to the socialist school-running direction, building a high-level talent training system, serving the major strategic needs of the country more actively, building a high-quality teacher team in all directions, and deepening the opening up of high-level education.
The historical trend of opening up and development will not change, nor will the desire to work together to meet challenges. The higher education circles of all countries in the world should conform to the development trend of the times, continue to promote the sharing of global higher education resources, and move towards a better future together.
The high-quality higher education system to be built is a system for cultivating high-level talents, meeting the needs of the country and society, serving the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, serving the lifelong learning of the whole people, embodying the fairness and quality of education, and opening up to the outside world in an all-round way.
The essence of education:
The essence of education refers to the fundamental relationship between the internal elements of education and the fundamental characteristics of education as a social activity that distinguishes it from other social activities. As opposed to "educational phenomenon". Education is an activity to cultivate people. Education has existed since the beginning of human society, and its function is to transmit social production and life experience, promote human development and cultivate talents needed by society according to certain social requirements.
Education is a unique form of transmitting experience in human society. Humans have language and writing. With the help of the information carrier function of language, human experience can exist not only in the individual system, but also outside the individual consciousness and independently of each individual.
