The development of economy depends on science and technology, the progress of science and technology depends on talents, and the cultivation of talents depends on education. Education plays an important role in the process of building a well-off society in an all-round way in Neijiang and "revitalizing glory, enriching the people and upgrading". Without the great development of education, there will be no improvement of national quality, development of human resources and progress of science and technology, and there will be no healthy, sustained and rapid development of economy and society. Therefore, we must give priority to the development of education, and provide talent support and intellectual guarantee for "prosperity is glory, prosperity is position".
First, correctly understand the strategic significance of giving priority to the development of education
The fate of a country depends on education. Education is the main base for knowledge innovation, dissemination and application, and also the cradle for cultivating innovative spirit and innovative talents. Education is of unique significance in cultivating high-quality workers and professionals, improving innovation ability, providing knowledge and technological innovation achievements, and enhancing national cohesion.
Giving priority to the development of education is an inevitable requirement for practicing "Theory of Three Represents". To develop advanced productive forces, high-quality workers are needed, and high-quality workers must be cultivated through education; Advanced culture casts the vitality, creativity and cohesion of the nation, and it also needs education to release vitality, develop creativity, enhance cohesion and build socialist spiritual civilization. The fundamental interest of the people is to achieve the maximum development of individuals, and human development is closely related to education, and the future and destiny of the nation depends more on the development and progress of education. "Theory of Three Represents" is the starting point and fundamental point of education. To practice "Theory of Three Represents", we must develop education and establish the strategic position of giving priority to education.
Giving priority to education is an important driving force for economic development. Since the Second World War, the rapid development of many countries has been related to giving priority to the development of education. In his book Modernization of Japan, former Japanese Prime Minister Noboru takeshita attributed the main motive force of Japan's modernization to giving priority to the development of education. The gap in economic development is basically the gap between knowledge and talents. The backwardness of knowledge and talents is the biggest bottleneck of economic development. The development of modern economy relies more and more on knowledge and talents, and social wealth is increasingly gathered in countries and regions with knowledge and technological advantages. The lack of knowledge and talents will have a more and more serious impact on economic development, and the production, dissemination, distribution and use of knowledge and the cultivation of talents are all based on education. Therefore, giving priority to the development of education, improving the level of knowledge and the quality of human resources, and transforming the potential advantages of natural resources into the advantages of economic development are the driving forces for enhancing competitive strength and realizing economic take-off.
Education priority is the basic link of human resources development. The prosperity of a country is based on talents; Talent training, education-oriented. Comrade Xiaoping believes that education is the most fundamental cause of a nation and shoulders the heavy responsibility of improving the quality of workers and cultivating specialized talents. Developing education is not only a necessary condition for sustained economic growth, scientific and technological development and innovation, and all-round social progress, but also the only way to improve the quality of the whole nation, turn the heavy population burden into the advantage of human resources and accelerate the pace of modernization. China is a big country rich in human resources, with 2 1% population, 26% labor force and 17.5% skilled labor force, which is an advantage that other countries in the world do not have. However, at present, the total amount, structure and quality of talents in China can not meet the needs of economic and social development, especially the shortage of high-level, high-skilled and compound talents urgently needed in modernization. At present, the enrollment rate of junior high school graduates in China is only 52.6%, especially in some populous provinces in central China, where the enrollment rate hovers around 45% and the average person has been educated for about 8 years. In the long run, China will accumulate a large number of workers with education below junior high school, and the situation in Neijiang City is not optimistic. Therefore, it is urgent to speed up the process of human resources development. Through the development of education at all levels, the huge population pressure will be transformed into rich human resources, providing talent support for enriching the people and upgrading.
Education priority is the fundamental guarantee for the all-round development of society. To realize the sustainable development of economy and society, we must rely on education to improve the quality of citizens and train a large number of talents. Professor Li Yining, an economist, pointed out that there are not only scientific and material forces, but also spiritual and moral forces behind the sustainable economic development. Education can not only raise the awareness of sustainable development of the educated, spread the scientific and cultural knowledge of sustainable development, mobilize social groups and the general public to participate in sustainable development, but also cultivate professionals to promote sustainable development and improve the ideological and moral quality of citizens. Therefore, education is extremely important for promoting sustainable development and improving people's ability to solve environmental and development problems. Education priority is the fundamental guarantee for firmly establishing and implementing Scientific Outlook on Development and promoting the all-round development of society.
Second, actively explore effective ways to give priority to the development of education.
In the process of building a well-off society in an all-round way and realizing "revitalization, enriching the people and upgrading", education should undertake the heavy responsibility of providing talent support and intellectual guarantee, improving the ideological and moral quality and scientific and cultural quality of the whole nation, cultivating specialized talents to promote sustainable development, and giving full play to the role of "pioneer", "foundation", "frontier" and "overall situation", so it is necessary to further implement "rejuvenating the country through science and education"
(A) update the concept of education. Thought is the forerunner of action. Insufficient understanding of the importance and urgency of developing education will make it difficult to implement the strategic position of giving priority to developing education. At present, some localities and people don't know enough about education, and some think that education is a soft task, which is slow to get results and can't be grasped. Some people think that education is restricted by the economy, and education should be developed after the economy develops; The economy of other places has developed, but social undertakings such as education, science and technology, culture and health are lagging behind and very uncoordinated. Therefore, to give priority to the development of education, we must firmly establish three concepts under the guidance of Scientific Outlook on Development. The first is to establish a people-oriented concept. Adhering to people-oriented is the core content of Scientific Outlook on Development. We should take meeting people's all-round needs and promoting people's all-round development as the fundamental starting point and foothold of economic and social development, and realize people's basic right to education to the maximum extent. The second is to establish the concept of overall development. All-round development is an important way to fully implement Scientific Outlook on Development. It is necessary to overcome the viewpoint that the level of development is only measured by economic income and economic growth, attach importance to education while grasping the economy, make overall plans for economic and social development, identify the combination point of education and economic construction, and achieve coordinated economic and social development. The third is to establish the concept that education is the foundation. At present, the competitiveness of comprehensive national strength, such as economic strength, national defense strength and national cohesion, has been enhanced, and education has a fundamental position, which has an overall and leading impact on the national economy. We should further emancipate our minds, renew our concepts, seriously treat education as a basic and leading work, and treat education as a major event in formulating economic and social development plans, so as to create an environment and atmosphere in which the whole society respects knowledge, talents and education.
(2) Strengthening Party and government responsibilities. Under the condition of market economy, the priority development of education is mainly realized through the macro-control of the party Committee and government. The responsibility of the Party committee and government to give priority to the development of education is mainly reflected in the following aspects: First, the leadership responsibility. Giving priority to the development of education has problems of funds, system and teachers, but the core is to strengthen leadership. When planning and making decisions on the development of various social undertakings in the region, Party committees and governments must give priority to the development of education and give priority to deployment. Formulate relevant policies to attract private education funds, and macro-control the coordinated development of various schools. The second is to invest in responsibility. The product of education is talent, and the investment in education is directly proportional to the cultivation of talent quality and the development of national economy. Increasing investment in education is the basic condition for implementing the strategy of giving priority to education development. The government should continuously increase the proportion of education investment in GDP, adjust the structure of education expenditure according to the requirements of public education financial system investment, increase investment in basic education, establish a standardized financial transfer payment system, a fair school resource allocation system and a poverty-stricken student assistance system, and persist in leaning toward poor areas, weak schools and difficult groups. The third is regulatory responsibility. The government should establish a scientific evaluation and supervision mechanism, and inspect, evaluate and supervise the quality of education and teaching, education fees and safety work in strict accordance with the procedure of "supervision-evaluation-guidance-rectification". , to achieve the combination of supervision and supervision, comprehensive supervision and special evaluation. The fourth is to coordinate responsibilities. Party committees and governments should focus on the overall situation, highlight key points, coordinate all aspects of government relations, thoroughly rectify the surrounding environment of the campus, and create a relaxed and harmonious development environment for educational development. At the same time, it is necessary to establish and improve the system of leading cadres, especially the main leaders of the party and government, to investigate and study in schools and education departments, to fully and accurately understand the new situations and problems in education, to study and solve them in time, and to enhance their ability to lead education.
(3) Optimize resource allocation. Education is a complex systematic project, which has the problems of increasing fund-raising and opening up new channels, as well as avoiding waste of resources and improving utilization efficiency. Doing a good job in structural layout adjustment is the premise of giving priority to the development of rural primary and secondary schools. According to the reality of rural education, the government should further strengthen the adjustment of school layout and the transformation of weak schools, adhere to the work in four aspects, and promote the standardization construction of primary and secondary schools. First, organically combine the adjustment of layout with the adjustment of township administrative divisions, promote rural urbanization, solve the enrollment problem of children of floating population, seek truth from facts and adjust measures to local conditions. Second, according to the principle of "primary schools are near to school and junior high schools are relatively concentrated", small villages with low efficiency and junior high schools below towns and villages will be merged, so that the scale of rural primary and secondary schools will be moderate, the allocation of resources will be reasonable and the scale and efficiency of running schools will be improved. The third is to strengthen school construction in the process of layout adjustment. Through the adjustment and construction of a number of standardized schools with moderate scale and up-to-standard running conditions, we will strengthen the radiation of urban high-quality educational resources to rural areas and improve the coverage of high-quality educational resources among the educated population. Fourth, take measures to solve practical problems in traffic safety, food hygiene and safety, boarding living expenses and so on. To prevent students from dropping out of school due to layout adjustment.
(4) Deepening structural reform. For a long time, the main factor restricting the priority development of education is insufficient total investment, but there is also the problem of low efficiency of education itself, that is, deepening the reform of education and personnel system. Whether education gives priority to development depends largely on principals and teachers. The fundamental way to realize the balance of teachers lies in deepening the reform of education and personnel system and promoting the optimal allocation of human resources. It is necessary to take the "three projects" of building famous teachers, famous schools and famous principals as the carrier, actively promote the appointment system of principals in primary and secondary schools, the competitive appointment system of middle-level cadres and the full-time appointment system, establish and improve the teaching system of promoting the rational flow and rotation of principals and teachers, implement the overall deployment of principals and backbone teachers in key schools and other schools in the region, and accelerate the transformation of educational talent resources into talent capital. The fourth is to deepen the teaching reform. Accelerate the curriculum and teaching reform in primary and secondary schools, comprehensively promote quality education, build an information platform for modern education by promoting educational informatization projects, and promote the social sharing of quality educational resources.
