He Changgong is one of the earliest educators engaged in education in the history of our Party. During the Red Army period, he founded the Red Army University and later led the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University for a long time. 1April, 948, President of Northeast Institute of Military Engineering (predecessor of shenyang jianzhu university, Shenyang Gong Li University, Wuhan University of Technology and Beijing Institute of Technology), and personally selected the site for the school. After liberation, Beijing Institute of Technology (now Beijing Institute of Technology) was established. After coming to the Ministry of Geology (now the Ministry of Land and Resources), I started from regular colleges and started to establish geological education.

Because at that time, two geological colleges in Beijing and Changchun were established soon, and there were no school buildings, the students enrolled in that year could only borrow land to attend classes. To this end, He Changgong personally selected the school site, the deployment of teachers, the scale of running a school, and the supply of important infrastructure materials. He traveled back and forth and used his special relationship to win the support of the leaders of the provinces and cities where the school is located and the relevant departments of the state, thus greatly promoting the process of establishing the school. One year later, the teaching buildings of Beijing Institute of Geology (now China University of Geology) and Changchun Institute of Geology (now Department of Geology, Jilin University), the highest institutions of geological education in new China, were completed, and students entered the new school buildings for classes.

1 9 5 6, with the approval of the Ministry of Higher Education, He Changgong decided to establish Chengdu Institute of Geology (now renamed Chengdu University of Technology) in Chengdu, a major town in the southwest. During the preparatory period, He Changgong went to Chengdu to bid and lived there for a month. With the strong support of Li Jingquan, secretary of Sichuan Provincial Party Committee, the construction speed was unexpected, and the preparation, construction and opening of the school were realized that year. This construction speed is not only a miracle in the history of geological education in China, but also unprecedented in the history of university construction in other industries in China. He Changgong has successively led the establishment of ten secondary geological schools, including Nanjing, Wuhan, Chongqing, Changchun, Xi, Xuanhua, Beijing, Zhengzhou, Guangzhou and Kunming. Geological education is advanced and intermediate, with reasonable regional distribution, showing great vitality.

While grasping the construction of ordinary colleges and universities, He Changgong also pays close attention to the professional training of cadres. First of all, a class of "veteran cadres" was held in Beijing Institute of Geology, which was aimed at department-level cadres and invited Li Siguang and other old geologists as teachers. In addition, various departments of the Ministry of Geology have held various short training courses and sent nearly 10,000 people to study in correspondence universities and night universities. Through training, the professional level of leading cadres and workers has been improved, and many veteran cadres have gradually changed from "amateurs" to "experts". Among them, Zhang Tongyu learned best, and later served as vice minister of geology. By the end of 1 9 6 6, the geological department had a geological team of 200,000 people, of which engineers and technicians accounted for more than a quarter. Not only the geological team has been strengthened, but also the quality and technical support of personnel have been greatly improved.
