The Fourth Plenary Session of the 16th CPC Central Committee proposed to strengthen the construction of the Party's ruling ability, which is a major strategic issue related to the rise and fall of China's socialist cause, the future and destiny of the Chinese nation, the survival of the Party and the long-term stability of the country. Ruling ability and grass-roots executive power are two concepts that are both related and different. The ruling ability is abstract, and the executive power is concrete. As a reserve army organization of contemporary youth led by the Party, how to improve the vitality and creativity of grass-roots league organizations, especially the Party's decision-making execution, is a new topic in the construction of grass-roots league organizations under the current situation.
1. The main problems existing in the execution construction of grass-roots league organizations in colleges and universities and the specific requirements for strengthening the construction of grass-roots league organizations under the new situation
On the whole, although grass-roots league organizations in colleges and universities in China have realized the significance of changing the methods and forms of ideological and political education, and the importance of realizing people-oriented, strengthening service awareness and strengthening learning, there are still deviations in understanding, execution and measures in how to change awareness, strengthen learning and enhance league members' awareness. Specifically, it is mainly manifested in the following aspects:
First, the concept is vague. When college students enter colleges and universities, most of them are already Communist Youth League members. This kind of organizational popularization should have been beneficial to the work of the League, but in fact, this kind of popularization objectively caused a vague sense of the League members, thinking that they are ordinary people, not representatives of outstanding young people. Therefore, it is a platform in daily words and deeds, a platform for all members to complete their work and study, or a place where learning takes place. Therefore, we believe that the elements that constitute the learning-oriented Communist Youth League organization are league members, knowledge, learning, technology and branches, and each element constitutes a subsystem of the learning-oriented Communist Youth League organization system. In the learning organization system model composed of these five elements, learning is the core, knowledge and technology are the guarantee to improve learning quality, and league organization and league members are the basis to expand and strengthen learning influence. These five subsystems interact and support each other. If any subsystem is vacant or weak, the effectiveness of other subsystems will be greatly reduced.
2.2 Characteristics of a learning organization.
First, learning organizations are more eager for knowledge.
From the perspective of system theory, an organizational system can only maintain its own virtuous circle by constantly exchanging energy and information with the outside world. With the rapid development of social economy, especially when mankind enters the era of information explosion, the exchange of energy knowledge and information between an organization system and the outside world has greatly increased, and the frequency of exchange has obviously accelerated. If an organization system exchanges too little and too slow energy knowledge information with the outside world, then this organization system will be exhausted or even eliminated by the times. In this sense, compared with the original league organization, the learning league organization should be a league organization that can adapt to this kind of environmental change, and its internal requirements and impulses for absorbing, digesting and innovating external knowledge and information will be stronger, so as to continuously gain its own development and growth momentum.
Second, learning organizations have more complete learning functions.
* * * As an organization of outstanding young people, the Communist Youth League once represented advanced culture, art, knowledge and ideas, and trained and transported batches of outstanding cadres and backbones for the Party. However, it must be noted that with the profound changes in the party's ruling environment, in order to continue to deliver outstanding talents to the party, some of the original learning methods and mechanisms of the Communist Youth League organizations have not fully adapted to the requirements of the times. Only by innovating the learning contents, learning methods, learning carriers and learning mechanisms of league organizations at all levels and endowing them with more complete learning functions, thus greatly improving their learning ability, can we continue to maintain the advanced nature of league organizations.
Third, the learning-type youth league organization has a more lasting innovative function.
Learning is the source of innovation, learning is the capital of innovation, learning promotes innovation and innovation calls for learning. Promoting innovation by learning and taking learning as the source of innovation is a major feature of organizations at all levels in our regiment. The 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out: "Innovation is the soul of a nation's progress and an inexhaustible motive force for a country's prosperity." Grasping the important strategic opportunity period of 265438+the first two decades of the 20th century, coping with all kinds of complicated situations at home and abroad and building a well-off society in an all-round way put forward unprecedented high requirements for the learning and innovation of party organizations at all levels. Undoubtedly, the requirements of league organizations for themselves should be consistent with the needs of the party and the country. * * * The Youth League brings together outstanding young people from our country and nation, and unites and leads the vast number of young people who are at the forefront of the times. This is the most creative and pioneering team. In the journey of the new century, organizations at all levels of the Communist Youth League must forge their own ability and skills to develop and process learning resources, in order to have higher, stronger and more lasting innovative functions.
Fourthly, the learning-type youth league organization has a stronger self-improvement function.
The construction of the Communist Youth League organization is an important link in the construction of the Communist Youth League, including the development of the organization itself, the education and management of league members, the appointment and dismissal of cadres and many other aspects. With the continuous growth of the Communist Youth League, especially with the deepening of China's reform and opening up, and the influx of various western ideas, it has had a tremendous impact on the whole society, especially the contemporary youth, making the development and self-improvement of the Communist Youth League organizations face many opportunities and challenges. Facing the new situation, we should seize new opportunities, meet new challenges and achieve new breakthroughs. There is no ready-made model, you should learn by doing. By building a learning-oriented Communist Youth League organization, absorbing new nutrition and activating various elements and links in the organization, we can achieve the goal of eliminating the old and welcoming the new, and establish a benign self-renewal ability, so as to consciously correct and repair the shortcomings in development and keep pace with the times.
3. The necessity of establishing grass-roots learning organizations in colleges and universities
3. 1 Creating a learning-oriented youth league organization is the proper meaning of implementing and practicing Theory of Three Represents's questions, and it is an important spirit to enhance the awareness of league members.
In the report of the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, it is clearly required that the China Producer Party should make unremitting efforts to ensure that our Party is always the vanguard of the working class in China, and also the vanguard of the people of China and the Chinese nation, representing the development requirements of advanced productive forces in China, the orientation of advanced culture in China and the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of people in China. Since June 5438+ 10, 2005, due to the close relationship between grass-roots party organizations and league organizations, the extensive education activities to maintain the advanced nature of Communist party member have formed a wide influence among grass-roots league members, and activities to enhance the awareness of league members have also been carried out in a timely manner. To carry out and practice Theory of Three Represents and cultivate league members' consciousness, we must constantly study and solve the contradictions and problems in progress. Only by establishing learning-oriented league organizations in colleges and universities can we enhance cohesion and combat effectiveness in our study, and firmly establish the vanguard consciousness and sense of responsibility of members and shoulder the historical mission entrusted by the times.
3.2 The establishment of learning-oriented youth league organizations is the need of the reform and development of higher education.
Since the end of 1990s, there has been a new wave of reform in the field of higher education in China. A prominent feature of this university reform is large-scale merger and cooperation in running schools. With the popularization of higher education, the socialization reform of university logistics and the reform of credit system, the league building in colleges and universities, as an important part of university management, is also facing some new problems. For example, with the expansion of the organization and the increase of the number of members, the scale of the whole school league organization has expanded rapidly, and the organizational management system and mechanism established on a smaller scale will be difficult to adapt to the new requirements; The turnover rate of student organizations at the grass-roots level in colleges and universities is high. How to deal with this new problem, the weakening of class concept after the credit system reform, and how to build a new organizational system are all new problems and new requirements brought about by the reform of higher education. League organizations in colleges and universities must thoroughly study these problems and requirements, and how to adapt to the needs of reform and development in colleges and universities can effectively promote the league construction in colleges and universities in the new period.
3.3 Building a learning-oriented youth league organization is the need to enhance the vitality and vitality of grass-roots organizations in colleges and universities.
The new century and new stage put forward new and higher requirements for the construction of grass-roots organizations in colleges and universities. At present, some members of grass-roots league organizations in colleges and universities have some problems that are incompatible with the requirements of "Theory of Three Represents" in terms of ideology, organization and style, and their creativity, cohesion and combat effectiveness need to be further improved, especially as youth league members. Building a learning-oriented youth league organization is conducive to improving the leadership level and working ability of grass-roots youth league organizations, enhancing the overall awareness of the majority of members, and giving play to the leading role of the Communist Youth League.
4. Ways to build learning-oriented grass-roots league organizations in colleges and universities
Judging from the basic characteristics of learning-oriented youth league organizations, the process of building learning-oriented youth league organizations is actually a process of carrying out a series of work through certain channels and gradually endowing the original youth league organizations with new functions. Specifically, the work to be done should include:
4. 1 Establish a new concept of building a learning-oriented Communist Youth League organization.
First, establish the idea that learning is the need of individual progress and development, as well as the need of group career progress and development. The second is to establish the concept of lifelong education and lifelong learning. Every League member cadre, in order to adapt to the changes in the environment of today's knowledge economy era, must constantly update their knowledge and study for life. The third is to establish the concept of combining work with study. Integrate learning into the work of league members and league organizations at all levels, so that learning becomes a process of reshaping and perfecting oneself and an inexhaustible motive force for initiative, pioneering and innovation. The fourth is to establish the concept of innovation and development. Building a learning-type youth league organization is a brand-new subject, and there is no ready-made model. We need to combine the reality of league organization construction with the situation of economic and social development, constantly learn from advanced concepts to innovate and develop, and promote the construction of learning-oriented league organizations.
