Working principle: give priority to development, educate people, reform and innovate, promote fairness and improve quality.

1. Give priority to education in a strategic position. Giving priority to the development of education is an important policy put forward by the party and the state and adhered to for a long time.

Party committees and governments at all levels should give priority to the development of education as a basic requirement for the implementation of Scientific Outlook on Development, and earnestly give priority to the development of education in economic and social development planning, give priority to ensuring investment in education with financial funds, and give priority to meeting the needs of education and human resources development with public resources.

Fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the whole society to care for and support education, shoulder the responsibility of cultivating the next generation together, and create a good environment for the healthy growth of young people. Improve systems and policies, encourage social forces to set up education, and constantly expand the input of social resources into education.

2. Take educating people as the basic requirement of education. Human resources are the first resource for China's economic and social development, and education is the main way to develop human resources.

We should take students as the main body and teachers as the leading factor, give full play to students' initiative, and take promoting students' healthy growth as the starting point and the end result of all school work.

Care for every student, promote every student's active and lively development, respect the law of education and the law of students' physical and mental development, and provide every student with a suitable education.

Strive to train hundreds of millions of high-quality workers, tens of millions of specialized personnel and a large number of top-notch innovative talents.

3. Take reform and innovation as a powerful driving force for the development of education. The development of education depends on reform. We should focus on the reform of institutional mechanisms, encourage local governments and schools to explore and experiment boldly, and accelerate the pace of reform in important areas and key links.

Innovate the talent training system, school-running system and education management system, reform the quality evaluation and examination enrollment system, reform the teaching content, methods and means, and build a modern school system.

Accelerate the resolution of the contradiction between the demand for high-quality and diversified talents in economic and social development and the lack of education and training capabilities, the contradiction between the people's expectations for a good education and the relative shortage of resources, and the contradiction between enhancing the vitality of education and the constraints of institutional mechanisms, thus providing a strong impetus for the sustained and healthy development of education.

4. Promote fairness as the basic education policy of the country. Educational equity is an important foundation of social equity.

The key to educational equity is equal opportunity. The basic requirement is to protect citizens' right to education according to law. The key point is to promote the balanced development of compulsory education and support the disadvantaged groups. The fundamental measure is to rationally allocate educational resources, tilt towards rural areas, remote and poor areas and ethnic minority areas, and accelerate the narrowing of the educational gap.

The main responsibility of educational equity lies with the government, and the whole society should jointly promote educational equity.

5. Take improving quality as the core task of education reform and development.

Establish a scientific concept of quality, and take promoting people's all-round development and adapting to social needs as the fundamental standard to measure the quality of education. Establish an educational development concept with improving quality as the core, pay attention to the development of educational connotation, and encourage schools to run their own characteristics, run their own level, produce famous teachers and educate talents.

Establish a management system and working mechanism oriented to improving the quality of education, and focus on strengthening teaching links and improving the quality of education in the allocation of educational resources and school work.

Formulate national standards for education quality and establish and improve the education quality guarantee system. Strengthen the construction of teachers and improve the overall quality of teachers.
