The Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, with the theme of "upholding and perfecting the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system, and promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity", focused on the new needs of personnel training in the new era, put education in a more prominent position, and put forward an important measure of "building an education system serving lifelong learning for all", which has important theoretical and practical significance.

To promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, talents are the support and education is the key. On the one hand, building an education system that serves lifelong learning for the whole people can provide a steady stream of talent support for the modernization of national governance. In the final analysis, the modernization of state governance depends on the modernization of people. Constructing an education system that serves the lifelong learning of the whole people is helpful to improve the scientific and humanistic quality of the whole nation and cultivate useful talents with high comprehensive quality, adapting to the needs of career development and innovative consciousness. On the other hand, it can satisfy people's yearning for a better life. Education is both the national economy and the people's livelihood. People's yearning for a better life inevitably contains expectations for higher quality education. Lifelong learning for all gives everyone an equal right to education, and is committed to the equal allocation of educational resources, so that the fruits of educational development can benefit all people more fairly.
