The strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education is an important choice made by our party to accurately grasp the development trend at home and abroad.
First, the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education is put forward by our party on the basis of summing up the experience of science, technology, education and economic and social development in various countries around the world, which reflects the universal law of economic and social development.
Science and technology is an important symbol of the progress of human society and an important driving force for the development of productive forces. Throughout the history of human civilization, every major breakthrough in science and technology will cause profound changes in social productive forces and great progress in human society. 65438+The first technological revolution marked by the steam engine in 1960s made mankind enter the industrial society from the agricultural society. /kloc-the second technological revolution characterized by the application of electric power in the second half of the 0/9th century greatly promoted the development of social productive forces again. Since the 1970s, the new scientific and technological revolution has entered a stage of all-round and in-depth development, and science and technology have become the most important factor to determine the development speed and comprehensive national strength of a country. Education is the basis of developing science and technology and cultivating talents. Since modern times, the innovation and development of education has become an important reason for the prosperity of a powerful country. One of the main reasons for the rapid economic growth of newly industrialized countries and regions in East Asia after the war is to have a skilled labor force with a certain basic education and high quality. 1At the beginning of 994, the World Science Report published by UNESCO pointed out that "there can be no sustainable economic development without the dissemination of scientific knowledge". Since then, many countries have taken accelerating the development of science and technology and seizing the commanding heights of science and technology and industry as an important part of their development strategies. Education is the foundation of a country, and science and technology are the road to a strong country. To realize modernization, China must implement the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education.
Second, the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education is put forward on the basis of summing up the experience of China's socialist modernization, which conforms to China's basic national conditions and embodies the laws of socialist modernization.
China is a developing country with a large population, weak foundation, relatively insufficient resources and relatively backward economy and culture. Is and will be in the primary stage of socialism for a long time, the mode of economic growth is still very backward, and the overall quality of workers is not high. We are faced with severe tasks such as optimizing the economic structure, rationally utilizing resources, protecting the ecological environment, promoting coordinated regional development, improving the quality of the population and completely eliminating poverty. Realizing modernization requires long-term and arduous efforts. To maintain the sustained, rapid and healthy development of the national economy, we must realize the transformation of economic growth mode from extensive to intensive, from relying mainly on increasing investment, paving new stalls and pursuing quantity to relying mainly on scientific and technological progress and improving the quality of workers, and paying attention to economic benefits. Practice has proved that it is impossible to realize modernization in a country with low quality of workers. Implementing the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education and relying on science, technology and education to promote economic development is the correct way to build Socialism with Chinese characteristics in line with China's national conditions.
