"Party committees (party groups) at all levels should put the construction of ideological and political courses on the important agenda, and schools at all levels and types should consciously assume the main responsibility, constantly open up a new situation in ideological and political education in the new era, and strive to cultivate more new people of the era who can reassure the party, love the country and dedicate themselves, and take on the important task of national rejuvenation."

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, under the kind care of General Secretary Xi Jinping, the construction system of ideological and political courses in mainland schools has been continuously improved, and the "big ideological and political courses" have been promoted with high quality. For example, the "First Lesson of School" jointly created by China Central Radio and Television and the Ministry of Education continues to deepen the creative concept of "thought + art + technology", constantly upgrades new classrooms, and encourages young people to take over the baton of history, which has been widely acclaimed...... The atmosphere of concern and support for the construction of ideological and political courses by the whole party and the whole society has become increasingly strong, and a powerful force has been gathered to educate people for the party and the country.
Ideological and political courses are the key courses to implement the fundamental task of cultivating people with virtue. Determined to achieve the great cause of the Chinese nation for a thousand years, our party must cultivate generation after generation of useful talents who support the leadership of the Communist Party of China and the socialist system on the mainland and are determined to fight for the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics for life. We must make up for our shortcomings, educate and train the next generation well, and continue to inject fresh blood into the great cause of building a strong country and rejuvenating the nation.
In the new era and new journey, the construction of ideological and political courses is facing new situations and new tasks, and there must be new atmosphere and new achievements. We must adhere to the simultaneous advancement of the construction of ideological and political courses and the party's innovative theoretical arming, and comprehensively promote Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era into teaching materials, classrooms, ears, brains, and hearts. It is necessary to integrate the party's innovative theory and practice into the integrated teaching of ideological and political courses in primary and secondary schools, follow the laws of education, design curriculum objectives step by step and spiral, and be close to the actual thinking, learning and life of students, so that students love to listen, love to learn, and understand learning, and continue to do a good job in deepening, internalizing, and transforming Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era.
Young people are the most active group, and the construction of ideological and political courses should be dynamic with reform and innovation. It is necessary to always adhere to the guiding position of Marxism, take the world-renowned achievements of socialism with Chinese characteristics as the content support, and take the excellent traditional Chinese culture, revolutionary culture and advanced socialist culture as the foundation of strength, explain the truth in depth, thoroughly and lively, uphold integrity and innovation to promote the connotative development of ideological and political course construction, promote the application of modern information technology such as artificial intelligence in the teaching of ideological and political courses, use new media and new technologies to make the teaching content and practice of ideological and political courses lively, and constantly improve the pertinence and attractiveness of ideological and political courses.
The key to running ideological and political courses well lies in teachers, and the emphasis is on giving play to teachers' enthusiasm, initiative, and creativity. It is necessary to focus on building a team of ideological and political teachers who are politically strong, have deep feelings, have new thinking, have a broad vision, are strict in self-discipline, and have a positive personality, so as to plant the seeds of truth, goodness and beauty in the hearts of students, and guide students to buckle the first button in life. It is necessary to improve the evaluation system that gives priority to teaching, and improve the status and treatment guarantee mechanism for ideological and political teachers.
A year's plan is as good as a tree valley; A ten-year plan is like a tree; A lifelong plan is as good as a tree. All regions and departments should thoroughly study and implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's important expositions on education, focus on the fundamental question of what to cultivate, how to cultivate people, and for whom to cultivate people, and take the construction of ideological and political courses as the top priority of the party's leadership education work.
