(2) In the 40 years since the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), China has made remarkable achievements in education. The socialist education system has been basically established; Education has made great progress and trained a large number of talents for socialist construction; Established a team of tens of millions of teachers; The material conditions for running a school have been improved to varying degrees. Especially since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the educational reform has been carried out gradually. Nine-year compulsory education was implemented in a planned and phased manner, and primary education was popularized in 9 1% population areas. Vocational and technical education has developed to a considerable extent, and the proportion of students in secondary vocational and technical schools and high schools has exceeded 50%, which has changed the situation of single structure of secondary education. With the rapid development of higher education, the number of students in ordinary colleges and adult colleges has reached 3.76 million, initially forming a multi-level, multi-form and basically complete discipline system; Various forms of adult education and ethnic education have also been greatly developed; The system of local responsibility and hierarchical management of rural basic education has achieved remarkable results. The comprehensive integration of education, science and technology and agriculture began to show vitality; A number of regions, departments and units have emerged that respect teachers and attach importance to education and have achieved remarkable results. International educational exchanges and cooperation have also been widely carried out. Achievements of education in China. It is the result of persisting in reform and opening up. It embodies the superiority of the socialist system and is the basis for the further reform and development of education in China.
At the same time, it must be noted that the education in China is still relatively backward in general, and it cannot meet the needs of accelerating reform, opening up and modernization. The strategic position of education has not been fully implemented in practical work; Insufficient investment in education, low salaries for teachers and poor conditions for running schools; Educational ideas, teaching contents and teaching methods are divorced from reality to varying degrees; Ideological and political work in schools needs to be further strengthened and improved; The educational system and operating mechanism can not meet the needs of deepening the reform of economic, political and scientific and technological systems. With the development of economy and the deepening of reform, these problems in education must be solved seriously.
(3) Over the past 40 years, education in China has experienced a tortuous development process, which has accumulated valuable experience for the development of socialist education. First, education is the foundation of socialist modernization, and it must be placed in a strategic position of giving priority to development. Second, we must uphold the party's leadership over education, adhere to the direction of socialist education, and cultivate builders and successors with all-round development in morality, intelligence and physique. Third, we must insist that education should serve socialist modernization, combine with productive labor, consciously obey and serve the center of economic construction, and promote all-round social progress. Fourth, persist in educational reform and opening up, strive to reform the educational system, educational structure, teaching content and teaching methods, boldly absorb and draw lessons from all civilized achievements of human society, be brave in innovation and experiment, and constantly develop and improve the socialist education system. Fifth, we should fully implement the education policy of the party and the state, follow the laws of education, and comprehensively improve the quality of education and the efficiency of running schools. Sixth, we should rely on teachers to constantly improve their political and professional qualities and strive to improve their working, learning and living conditions. Seventh, we should give full play to the enthusiasm of governments at all levels, all walks of life and the masses of the people in running schools, and insist on raising education funds mainly by financial allocation and through multiple channels. Eighth, we should proceed from China's national conditions, implement various forms of running schools, train talents with various specifications, and embark on a road of developing education that conforms to the reality of China and other regions. These main principles need to be further enriched and developed in future practice.
(4) Comrade Deng Xiaoping pointed out that to realize the four modernizations, science and technology are the key and education is the foundation. In order to accomplish the main tasks set by the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in the 1990s, we must shift economic construction to the track of relying on scientific and technological progress and improving the quality of workers. The long-term economic benefits of Chinese enterprises are low, their products are not competitive, agricultural science and technology have not been widely promoted, precious resources and ecological environment have not been fully utilized and protected, population growth has not been effectively controlled, and some bad social atmosphere has been repeatedly banned. There are many reasons, but an important reason is the low quality of workers. Develop education. It is the only way for China to realize socialist modernization to improve the quality of the whole nation and turn the heavy population burden into the advantage of human resources.
Nowadays, the political situation in the world is changing, the international competition is becoming increasingly fierce, and science and technology are developing rapidly. The worldwide economic competition and comprehensive national strength competition are essentially the competition of science and technology and the competition of national quality. In this sense, whoever has mastered the education oriented to 2 1 century will be in a strategic initiative position in the international competition of 2 1 century. Therefore, we must be far-sighted, plan our educational career as soon as possible, and meet the challenges of the 2 1 century.
Facing the new situation of accelerating reform, opening up and modernization, governments at all levels, educators and the whole society must have a sense of urgency about the reform and development of education. To truly establish socialist construction, we must rely on education and the idea of "a century-long plan, education-oriented", take practical and effective measures, implement the strategic position of education, accelerate the reform and development of education, and create a new situation in education.
