The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) for the first time made a "three-in-one" strategic deployment of education, science and technology, and talents, putting the building of a strong country in education in the first place, and giving education an unprecedented mission and responsibility. General Secretary Xi Jinping delivered an important speech when presiding over the fifth collective study of the Political Bureau of the 20th CPC Central Committee, comprehensively and systematically expounding on major theoretical and practical issues such as "what kind of education power to build and how to build an education power", and sounded the mobilization clarion call for the construction of an education power.

In-depth study and implementation of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important expositions on education, to find out the strategic positioning of the construction of a strong country in education
General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that building a strong country in education is the strategic forerunner of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way, an important support for achieving high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-reliance, an effective way to promote common prosperity for all people, and a basic project to comprehensively promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization. This important assertion clarifies the great significance of education to China and points out the direction of efforts to build a strong country in education. This requires us not to understand and promote education in isolation, simply, and by inertia, but to position, plan, and build a strong country in education in the overall situation and the overall situation, so as to make a difference and make great achievements.
From the perspective of the relationship between education and China, the ability and level of education determine to a large extent the degree of modernization of China and the degree of civilization of the Chinese nation. Education has become a strategic necessity for the country and a key element in determining the rise and fall of the country. It is necessary to consciously think about the attributes, status and value of education from the strategic perspective of building a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation, clearly see the secret and logic of the great achievements of education since the new era, and understand how to take the initiative to take action and find the strategic fulcrum for the overall development of the country; see clearly the changes in the current situation at home and abroad, and understand how education can become the strategic forerunner and important support for the cause of the party and the country; clearly see the global educational reform, the competitive trend of scientific and technological development and the law of educational development, and think clearly about how to build a high-quality education system. Plan and put forward ideas and measures for the construction of an educational power, and promote the smooth breakthrough and start of the construction of an educational power.
From the perspective of the relationship between China's education and the world, the mainland has built the world's largest education system, the overall level of educational modernization has entered the ranks of the world's top countries, and the construction of an educational power has entered a critical and important stage of gaining momentum for breakthroughs and all-round leaps. It is necessary to place China's education in the context of global development, not only to strengthen strategic self-confidence, but also to see the gap between the times, development and competition, especially the developed countries are still innovating and making progress to ensure the leading position of global talents, technology and market. We need to make up for our shortcomings and forge our long boards in the new international pattern, and accelerate the construction of an important education center in the world with strong influence.
From the perspective of the construction of the education system itself, there are still many gaps, shortcomings and weaknesses in the construction of the mainland in terms of building an educational power, and there is still a long way to go to realize the leap from an educational power to an educational power. It is imperative to promote the systematic, holistic and institutional reconstruction of the education system. It is necessary to take the leadership of the party and the system of cultivating morality and cultivating people as the guide, with a high-quality and balanced compulsory education system, an effective secondary education system, and an effective higher education system as the backbone support, with a modern security system and work system as horizontal support, and with a high-level opening up system and the construction of a learning society to expand the development space, and accelerate the construction of a high-quality education system.
