The mission of the National Open University is to serve the lifelong learning of the whole people, undertake social responsibilities and promote educational equity. Respect for learning is the sincere encouragement and expectation of traditional culture for learners. Guanghui stresses that a gentleman "values virtue, values virtue, values virtue and loves others", which can well reflect the spiritual realm and value pursuit of the National Open University.
Teaching without distinction means that anyone can get an education. People are originally classified, such as some are smart, some are stupid, some are virtuous and some are corrupt, but these differences can be eliminated through education. The National Open University implements open education, indiscriminate teaching, breaks time and space, allows all learners to share high-quality educational resources, and strives to meet diverse learning needs.
The nature of the National Open University:
The National Open University belongs to adult continuing education. It is not only a school-running entity, but also a school-running system covering urban and rural areas in China. It consists of 1 headquarters, 45 branches and 3735 learning centers. The National Open University does not belong to several universities, but a new university directly under the Ministry of Education of People's Republic of China (PRC), which is established on the basis of the Central Radio and Television University and local radio and television universities. It pays equal attention to academic education and non-academic education, and is open to all members of society without walls. Diploma countries recognize it as an open education school, which has the same effect as a unified diploma.
