"Carefully create high-quality teaching materials that cast the soul of bacon and enlighten wisdom and increase wisdom, and make new and greater contributions to cultivating socialist builders and successors with all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, beauty, and labor, and building a strong country in education." Since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has attached great importance to and cared about the construction of Conscientiously implement the spirit of the important instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping, relevant parties firmly grasp the correct direction, improve the teaching material construction work system, improve the teaching material system and norms, comprehensively promote the construction of all types of teaching materials at all levels, and comprehensively enhance the function of teaching materials and education, and the construction of teaching materials has undergone structural changes and achieved historic achievements.

Put a good direction and promote the party's theoretical innovation achievements into teaching materials, classrooms, and minds

"Every story begins with a story that's fascinating." "'Green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains' and 'national security is the top priority' these words are so familiar, I often hear them on TV and radio!" ......

In order to enhance the systematic, pertinent and effectiveness of students' study of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, the Ministry of Education organized the compilation of the "Xi Jinping Reader of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era" as an important compulsory content for students in colleges, middle schools, and primary schools. The reader has a total of 5 volumes, including 1 volume in the third grade of primary school, the fifth grade of primary school, the second grade of junior high school, the first year of high school, and one volume of university. In the fall semester of 2021, the "Reader" for primary and secondary schools has been put into use nationwide. The Reader is richly illustrated and vivid, integrating knowledge learning, emotional experience and value guidance, and has been welcomed by students and teachers.

"Firmly grasping the political direction and value orientation of textbook construction, and ensuring that Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and the party's education policy are fully reflected in the curriculum textbooks, is an important mission and historical responsibility of all textbook workers." Tian Huisheng introduced.

The reporter learned that in recent years, the textbook work has always adhered to the guidance of Marxism, deeply promoted Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era into teaching materials, classrooms, and minds, promulgated the "Guide to Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era into Curriculum Teaching Materials", compiled the "Xi Jinping Reading Book for Students with Chinese Characteristics in the New Era" and "Lecture Notes on General Secretary Xi Jinping's Important Expositions on Education", and promoted the comprehensive and systematic integration of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in the New Era into the curriculum textbooks of various sections and disciplines. The "Implementation Plan for the Reform and Innovation of Ideological and Political Theory Courses in Schools in the New Era" was promulgated, the integration of teaching materials for ideological and political courses in colleges, middle schools, and primary schools was strengthened, and the ideological and political science classes were opened gradually and spiralingly in colleges, middle schools, and primary schools.

In recent years, the curriculum coverage and textbook use rate of the "Horse Project" key textbooks have increased year by year, and the average coverage rate of courses in 2020 has reached 85.35%, and the average utilization rate of textbooks has reached 77.27%. The pace of construction of the curriculum teaching material system of colleges, middle schools, and primary schools has accelerated, and major theme education has continued to deepen.

"We deeply understand the new requirements put forward by the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core for the education and teaching of the ideological and political theory class and on the 'big ideological and political class', strengthen the top-level design, and do a good job in medium- and long-term planning." In the process of compiling teaching materials, special attention should be paid to handling the relationship between the scientific nature and seriousness of the theoretical system and the vividness and readability of the teaching materials, so that the content of the teaching materials can be linked with the theory and close to the students' ideological reality. Qin Xuan, a professor at the School of Marxism at Chinese Min University, said.

Improve the quality and help the majority of young people to lay a good Chinese background from an early age

Open the Ministry of Education's first-grade Chinese unified textbook, 16 open size pages, "heaven and earth people" and "you and me and him" 6 words are particularly eye-catching. For first-graders, the first Language Literacy class of the new semester begins with learning these 6 Chinese characters.

Since September 2017, the three subjects of ethics and rule of law, language and history in the initial grades of primary and secondary schools in the compulsory education stage nationwide have been compiled by the state. In 2019, the "Unified Edition" covers all grades in the compulsory education stage. At the same time, the textbooks for the three subjects of ordinary high schools were put into use in the autumn semester of 2019, and 26 provinces have been covered in 2021.

"The textbooks compiled by the three subjects are more prominent in the orientation of educating people, not only follow the discipline rules but also close to the actual situation of students, and organically combine ideological, scientific, interesting and practical." Ye Xiaobing, editor-in-chief of the compulsory education history textbook and professor of the History Department of Capital Normal University, said.

Teaching materials are the basic basis of school education and teaching, an important carrier for educating people and talents, and educational ideas and concepts, goals and requirements for personnel training, etc., are concentrated in the teaching materials. To this end, we should carry forward the correct value orientation, give play to the leading role of teaching materials in the training of talents, and help the majority of young students to lay a good Chinese background and implant red genes from an early age, which has become the aspiration of every textbook editor and review worker.

Since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the construction of teaching materials has been solidly promoted, the system categories have been gradually improved, and the quality level has been continuously improved. According to preliminary statistics, the number of various types of academic education textbooks currently in use in China and marked with the words "teaching materials" on the copyright page has reached 203,400, of which 10,800 are basic education textbooks, 84,700 are vocational education and continuing education textbooks, and 107,900 are higher education textbooks. The textbook system is becoming more and more perfect, the structure is constantly optimized, the types of varieties are more abundant, the content quality is continuously improved, the function of educating people is significantly enhanced, the characteristics of the times are becoming more prominent, the Chinese characteristics are more distinct, and a large number of excellent teaching materials that lead the reform of education and teaching and support the cultivation of innovative talents have emerged.

At the same time, the development (revision) of curriculum and teaching quality standards is progressing steadily. The national standards, teaching standards and quality standards for all types of education at all levels have been continuously improved, and a standard system covering the preparation, implementation of teaching and academic evaluation of textbooks in all school sections has been built. At the same time, with the promulgation of the "Guidelines for The Teaching Materials of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in the New Era into the Curriculum" and the relevant contents of the "Party's Leadership", the excellent traditional Chinese culture, revolutionary traditions, labor education, national security education, national defense education, and life safety and health education into the curriculum textbook series of guidelines and outlines, the curriculum textbooks of primary and secondary schools have a detailed planning blueprint for the implementation of major theme education requirements.

"To build an education powerhouse and enhance the international competitiveness of talents, we must firmly establish the awareness of high-quality teaching materials, comprehensively improve the quality of teaching materials, and support first-class education with first-class teaching materials." Song Yi, a first-level inspector of the Department of Higher Education of the Ministry of Education, said.

Optimize management, tighten the safety valve of teaching materials entering the school classroom and student school bags

Since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, a major change in the work of teaching materials has been the adjustment and improvement of the leadership system and the work system, the strengthening of the party's leadership over the work of teaching materials, and the initial establishment of a work system in which overall planning is the mainstay, the integration of unified and decentralized, and the state, localities, and schools are responsible at different levels and linked from top to bottom.

In July 2017, the State Council established the State Textbook Commission. Under the direct leadership of the Central Education Leading Group, the State Textbook Commission is responsible for guiding and coordinating the work of teaching materials throughout the country, and the major guidelines and policies, important plans, important policy documents, national curriculum settings and curriculum standards, and teaching materials with strong ideological attributes in the construction of teaching materials must be reviewed and deliberated by the State Textbook Commission before they can be released.

At the same time, 9 provinces such as Beijing, Shanghai, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, and Tibet have set up provincial textbook committees, education departments in 11 provinces such as Zhejiang, Shanghai, Shaanxi, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, and Tibet have set up textbook departments or textbook offices, and colleges and universities affiliated to central ministries and commissions have generally set up textbook construction management committees, textbook work leading groups, or textbook review and selection committees, clarifying the textbook work departments. The professional support force for the construction of teaching materials is also increasingly strengthened, and a number of high-level professional think tanks have been created to serve the construction of teaching materials.

In recent years, the work of checking the teaching materials has been comprehensively strengthened, and the safety valves for teaching materials to enter the school classroom and students' school bags have been continuously tightened. We should do a good job in compiling teaching materials, strictly enforce the requirements for the preparation of all kinds of teaching materials at all levels, personnel conditions, and so on, and standardize "who will compile them and how to compile them." We should do a good job in reviewing teaching materials, improve teaching materials review institutions, strictly review standards and procedures, standardize "who will review and how to review", and conduct comprehensive "physical examination" and purification of all types of teaching materials and teaching aids at all levels. Make good selection and selection, clarify the main body, principles, and procedures for the selection of teaching materials, standardize "who chooses and how to choose", and ensure that the most suitable teaching materials for local teaching conditions are selected. Make good use of the pass, regularly organize the writing team to enter the school to listen to lectures and discussions, and establish a feedback platform for soliciting opinions, so as to provide practical help for teachers and students to accurately understand and grasp the requirements for the use of teaching materials.

"During the '14th Five-Year Plan' period, the primary task of textbook construction is to deeply promote Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era into curriculum textbooks, and use this idea to cast the soul of students Bacon." At the same time, we will deepen the reform of the curriculum and promote the all-round development of students' morality, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor. Tian Huisheng introduced the direction of the next step of the textbook work.

Adhere to the correct political direction, carry forward the fine tradition, promote reform and innovation, and carefully create high-quality teaching materials that cast the soul of Bacon and enlighten wisdom and wisdom, and the teaching materials work is providing solid and powerful support for accelerating the construction of a high-quality education system and cultivating socialist builders and successors who can develop morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically, and morally!
