"Education-oriented" means emphasizing that education is the fundamental task of school education. With the progress and changes of society, higher education is developing and the functions of universities are expanding. However, we still focus on talent training, the fundamental task of the university, and strive to continuously improve the quality and level of talent training, continuously promote quality education, pay attention to cultivating students' innovative spirit and practical ability, and train qualified builders and successors for the all-round development of the socialist cause. The greatest contribution of universities to society lies in educating people, that is, constantly cultivating talents for society that can promote social progress. The National Southwest Associated University, which was established only a few years ago during the Anti-Japanese War, has always been talked about by people. The most fundamental reason is that it has trained a large number of scientists, politicians and pillars of all walks of life that China people are proud of. Therefore, an important indicator to measure the development level of a university is to see whether a university can adhere to the principle of "educating people" and continuously cultivate outstanding talents needed by society.

Adhering to the principle of "educating people" means firmly establishing the central position of teaching work and concentrating superior forces to carry out teaching. The school has been effectively integrating, distributing and utilizing various resources to serve the teaching work of the school. Professors are encouraged to go to the podium, so a system of "core teaching workload" is established to encourage professors to actively undertake the teaching of courses. Professors not only impart existing knowledge in teaching, but also bring their own new insights and discoveries to students, and apply the latest innovative scientific research achievements to the classroom, so that college students can understand what is the national demand, what is the frontier of science and what is cooperative research, which plays a vital role in their growth as useful talents in building the front line. In recent years, the school has made good achievements in the construction of scientific research platform. The Engineering Center of the Ministry of Education, the Key Laboratory of the Ministry of Education and the Key Laboratory of the Autonomous Region have been established one after another, and a series of teaching and scientific research achievements have been achieved. The school insists on opening key laboratories to students and other good teaching and research conditions, which directly benefits the vast majority of undergraduates and graduate students; Students are also encouraged to directly participate in scientific research activities, and professors also attract students to participate in their own scientific research projects. Students personally participate in scientific research projects, and are influenced by the strong scientific research atmosphere, constantly strengthening and sublimating their innovative consciousness. All these advantages have a direct impact on educational activities, and the standards and levels of educational activities will certainly be generally improved.

Adhering to the principle of "educating people" means focusing on the future development of students and the needs of society. With the goal of cultivating applied technical talents with innovative spirit and practical ability, the school has formed an effective training and management mechanism. On the one hand, we should comprehensively promote curriculum reform, strengthen practical teaching by improving teaching plan, revising experimental teaching syllabus, updating experimental teaching content, opening laboratories, increasing comprehensive and designed experiments, and encouraging students to participate in scientific research and social services, so as to cultivate students' innovative spirit and practical ability. On the other hand, pay close attention to teaching practice, production practice, curriculum design, academic papers, social practice, graduation practice, graduation thesis (design) and other teaching links to promote the coordinated development of students' knowledge, ability and quality. The extracurricular scientific and technological innovation activities of college students are a microcosm of the school's close combination of talent training and knowledge economy society. Therefore, the graduates of this school have a solid professional foundation and strong working practice ability, which is well received by the society. After graduation, they quickly adapted to work and made achievements in various places. A number of outstanding graduates stood out in the front line of national construction.

Adhering to the principle of educating people means encouraging teachers to teach and educate people. Teachers are the main force in educating people. Schools should clearly embody that talent training is the primary responsibility of teachers in policies, seriously improve the evaluation and incentive system of teachers' work, pay more attention to the level and quality of talent training, affirm teachers' efforts to improve teaching quality, and effectively encourage teachers to be willing and able to devote themselves to teaching and talent training from the system and emotion. To motivate teachers to teach and educate people, it is also necessary to motivate teachers' persistence and enthusiasm for education, so as to establish advanced educational concepts, innovate teaching and guide students to learn actively and creatively; It can also flexibly use a variety of advanced teaching methods to effectively mobilize students' learning enthusiasm, promote students' positive thinking and develop their learning ability; Being able to properly and fully use modern educational technology can achieve practical results in stimulating students' interest in learning and improving teaching effect. Teachers should be encouraged to deal with the "relationship between education and scientific research" and strengthen the "awareness of educating people" in order to better guide students. The function of teaching and educating people in colleges and universities also requires teachers to have noble moral demeanor, love their jobs and care about students. Teachers, preachers, students, and puzzles. University teachers should not only teach, but also preach and dispel doubts. We should care about students' ideological and psychological trends, communicate with students in time and help them solve their doubts.

Adhering to the principle of "educating people" is to build an "educational field" with strong radiation function. Schools should cultivate positive university spirit, carry forward healthy campus culture, and strive to provide fertile soil and atmosphere for students' all-round growth and diversified development. Effectively strengthen the construction of study style and teachers' morality, fully implement the national education policy, form a set of effective measures to promote students' all-round development, and inspire every student to establish a strong sense of mission. It is necessary to strengthen the construction of class teachers, counselors and student organizations, further strengthen and improve moral education, physical education, aesthetic education and other aspects, and promote students to adapt to the requirements of the times, grow up healthily, and make contributions to national rejuvenation. It is necessary to organize students to carry out rich social practice and second-class activities, stimulate their interest and motivation in learning, and comprehensively promote the improvement of students' comprehensive quality.

In short, "education-oriented" is not only teaching and educating people, but also managing and serving people. It is necessary to create an atmosphere of whole-person education, whole-person education and whole-process education on campus, so that students can cultivate their temperament, shape their spiritual temperament and develop their complete personality in a good campus culture and become talents needed for national development in the new era.
