Report to the 20th CPC National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward the strategic goal of accelerating the construction of an educational power and the specific requirements of accelerating the construction of a high-quality education system. Higher education is an important part of China's education system. It is the mission of higher education in China in the new era to support the construction of a strong education country with a high-quality education system.

Building a high-quality education system and promoting the development of higher education is a basic project and an important way to accelerate the construction of an educational power and meet the people's good expectations for higher education in the new era and new journey.

To shoulder the new mission of higher education and forge ahead with the new journey of higher education development, we must build a high-quality ideological and political work system, a discipline construction system, a talent training system, a teacher construction system and a governance system, so as to contribute to building a socialist modern country and promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in an all-round way.

Ideological and political work is the lifeline of all school work, which is related to the fundamental problem of who to train, how to train people and for whom. Party committees and party organizations at all levels in colleges and universities must firmly grasp ideological and political work and earnestly fulfill the main responsibility of ideological and political work.

The fundamental task of educating a strong country

The fundamental task of education is to educate people. Without virtue, the country will not prosper, and without virtue, the people will not stand. The root of educating people lies in morality. Implementing the fundamental task of moral education is the key to the continuous development of higher education in China, and it is also an inevitable requirement for achieving high-quality development and building an educational power.

Since the founding of New China, China's higher education has embarked on a distinctive development path, insisting on training talents for the country and constantly providing talent resources and intellectual support for reform, opening up and socialist modernization.

In the new stage of development, higher education should fully implement the Party's educational policy, closely focus on the fundamental task of educating people, and strive to build an education system with all-round cultivation of morality, intelligence, physique, beauty and labor, form a higher-level talent cultivation system, and cultivate more socialist builders and successors with all-round development of morality, intelligence, physique and beauty.
