Secretary General of the National Education Advisory Committee
Not long ago, General secretary Xi Jinping made important instructions on occupation education, he emphasized that "training more high-quality technical talents, skilled craftsmen and craftsmen from big countries". Modern vocational education system is an important part of high-quality education system, and the cultivation of technical talents is also an important aspect of improving the level of human capital. Looking forward to the "14th Five Year Plan", we need to build a high-quality education system, improve the quality of the people, and expand the quality bonus of the population.
Since the founding of new China, China has made remarkable achievements in the development of education. The number of students in primary, middle and primary schools has changed from "inverted thumbtack" in 1949 to "pyramid" at the turn of the century, and then to "positive trapezoid" and "columnar" at present. From 2019 to 2020, there will be an important turning point. The scale of wide caliber higher education will exceed the number of students in senior high school in the same year. China's education popularization has greatly improved, and the overall level will jump into the top ranks in the world. In the future, there will be a "hyperbola" in the number of students in primary and secondary schools in China, which means that young people have three choices after finishing high school education: going to school first and then getting employment, going to school first and then getting employment, and learning while working, which will become the normal situation in a learning society.
The "14th Five Year Plan" and the vision and goal outline for 2035 will be important for the construction of a high-quality education system in the next five years and longer. The macro policy focuses on five aspects: to promote the equalization of basic public education, to enhance the adaptability of Vocational and technical education, to improve the quality of higher education, to build a high-quality professional teacher team, and to deepen the education reform, which provides us with guidance for the construction of a high-quality education system in the period of the “14th Five Year Plan”.
Among them, we should pay special attention to the following aspects: first, we should fully implement the party's educational policy, give priority to the development of education, adhere to moral education, and cultivate socialist builders and successors with all-round development of moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor; Second, the quantitative goal of education development is to make steady progress. From 2021 to 2025, the gross enrollment rate of preschool education will increase from 85.2% to more than 90%, the gross enrollment rate of high school education will increase from 91.2% to more than 92%, and the gross enrollment rate of Higher Education will increase from 54.4% to 60%; Third, comprehensively deepen the comprehensive reform in the field of education, and promote the modernization of education governance system and governance capacity; Fourth, the "project of improving quality and expanding capacity of education" involves all kinds of education at all levels, and the projects of mending weaknesses, strengthening weak points, covering the bottom line and promoting fairness will be mainly inclined to the central and western regions; The fifth is to anchor the goal of the continuous improvement of the education level of the whole people. There are about 900 million people of working age in China, and the average number of years of education will reach 11.3 years in 2025. These key points embody the idea of adhering to the people-centered development of education, fully demonstrate the intention of deeply developing human resources for modernization, and fully demonstrate the ability to expand the quality dividend of population through education so as to support high-quality development.
It is estimated that by 2035, China will realize the modernization of education as a whole and become a powerful country in education. Accordingly, first, we should build a modern education system to serve the whole people's lifelong learning: not only for school-age children, but also for other age groups. Second, we should consolidate the sub fields of the national education system: around the key points of preschool education, compulsory education, high school education, vocational and technical education, higher education, special education, etc., we should lay a solid foundation for the important systematic learning stage in one's life. Third, we should form a new pattern of education governance with the participation of the whole society: supporting education modernization with the modernization of education governance, and supporting national modernization with the modernization of education.
General secretary Xi Jinping stressed: "build a lifelong learning overpass that connects all kinds of education at various levels and recognised various learning results." Looking forward to the future, China's learning society will continue to advance along this direction. Lay a solid foundation for basic education, build a resource platform for the integration and coordination of higher education, vocational and technical education and continuing education, and create more possibilities for everyone in the learning society of "everyone can learn, everywhere and all the time".
