The Central Committee and the State Council issued the Opinions on Comprehensively Strengthening Labor Education in Colleges and Primary Schools in the New Period, and labor education has also become a hot word at present. According to the contents of the document, the labor education system will be established in the future, and it will become a compulsory course. Family, school and society will all play a role in labor education. Conditional colleges and universities can offer relevant majors for professional education and training, and students' values of labor education will become a new assessment standard, which will certainly promote colleges and universities.

The essence of labor education is not to master labor skills, but to cultivate and establish students' labor values. As early as the founding of New China, the educational goal of morality, intelligence, physique and beauty was put forward, and Comrade Mao Zedong put forward the combination of reeducation through labor. In 1950s, this kind of labor education was written into the educational policy of joining the Party and the Constitution. Studying engineering, agriculture and running schools are all products of that era.

1978 put forward at the national education work conference that "the development of modern economy and technology requires the rapid improvement of education quality and efficiency, and requires us to make new progress in the content and method of combining education with productive labor". The education department has also carried out research on the combination of labor education and reeducation through labor.

Opinions on Comprehensively Strengthening Labor Education in Colleges, Universities and Primary Schools in the New Period reflects the need to build a labor education system with the characteristics of the times. All colleges and universities should offer compulsory courses of labor education. Ordinary colleges and universities clearly put forward that relying on education courses to carry out labor education, we can arrange training courses such as labor month and labor week, closely focus on innovation and entrepreneurship, and let students learn to solve problems creatively and establish a correct concept of choosing a job, instead of staying in simple physical labor. College students in the new era are keen on living in the virtual world, so they are not realistic enough to express their feelings and understand others' feelings, and their social skills are declining. Labor education can enable them to gain personal experience in this respect.

The "Opinions" pointed out: "Taking the evaluation results of labor literacy as an important content to measure students' all-round development, as an important reference and graduation basis for evaluating the best and the first, and as an important reference and basis for further study", it also involves how to standardize the evaluation system of labor quality education. According to the current development situation, colleges and universities should strengthen the training of labor education teachers, make good use of the "second classroom report card" of the Communist Youth League in colleges and universities, and take labor education as one of the ways to cultivate students' ability and quality, and count it into credits. In view of the general needs of students in learning, employment and entrepreneurship, innovative practice, physiological and psychological feelings, voluntary public welfare, social participation, etc., we will promote the standardization, curriculum and institutionalization of work.
