Tian Huisheng introduced that during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the construction of teaching materials has become prominent in the overall situation of the party and the country.
At present, nearly half of the provincial education departments have set up special teaching materials working institutions.
The Ministry of Education established the Curriculum and Textbook Research Institute to build a national high-level curriculum and textbook research and decision-making support platform, start the construction of a national key research base for textbooks, and build a professional think tank that serves the construction of textbooks. The first batch of 11 bases has been put into operation in 2019. Provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) such as Tianjin, Jiangsu, Guangxi, Shaanxi and Gansu have established provincial-level curriculum and teaching materials centers to provide professional support for local teaching materials.
Tian Huisheng introduced that the National Textbook Committee promulgated the "National University, Elementary and Secondary School Textbook Construction Plan (2019-2022)" to comprehensively plan and coordinate the development of various types of textbooks at all levels.
This is the first time since the founding of New China that a systematic plan has been made for the construction of teaching materials in various sections and subject areas in universities, middle schools and primary schools.
At the same time, it has researched and formulated the "Plan for the Construction of Key Textbooks for the Horse Project in the New Era" to comprehensively strengthen the construction of textbooks for philosophy and social sciences in universities.
In addition, establish and implement a national reward system for teaching materials.
The National Textbook Construction Award is set up, sponsored by the National Textbook Committee and undertaken by the Ministry of Education. It is selected every four years to commend various types of excellent textbooks at all levels and advanced collectives and individuals who have made outstanding contributions.
The selection of the first National Textbook Construction Award has been deployed in 2020. This is the first time since the founding of New China to set up a special award project covering all fields of textbook construction and the highest award in the field of textbook construction in the country.
Tian Huisheng said that the new teaching material check system is operating effectively, insists on teaching materials "every edit must be reviewed" and "every selection must be reviewed", establish a whole-process check mechanism, and tighten the safety valve for teaching materials to enter school classrooms and student schoolbags.
One is to control the compilation of teaching materials.
Strict requirements for the compilation of various types of textbooks at all levels, personnel requirements, etc., and standardize "who compiles and how."
Raise the qualification threshold, highlight the ideological and political quality and academic professional level requirements of the textbook editors, and stipulate that the textbook editors must be approved by the party organization of their unit, and publicized to the public, so as to ensure the quality of the textbooks from the source.
In terms of the requirements for textbook compilation, highlight the correct political direction and value orientation, fully implement the fundamental task of Lide and foster people, and promote the "five education" simultaneously.
The second is to properly check the teaching materials.
Insist on "every edit must be reviewed", improve review institutions, strictly review standards and procedures, and standardize "who will review and how".
The country, localities, schools, industries, and publishing organizations have established textbook review institutions and mechanisms at all levels to implement review responsibilities at all levels, and establish a "five review system" for political review, professional review, comprehensive review, special review, and comparative review of textbooks.
In recent years, a series of national curriculum plans, curriculum standards, and unified textbook reviews have been completed, a comprehensive review of national curriculum textbooks for primary and secondary schools has been conducted, and a special investigation has been conducted on the content of the textbooks in use in universities, middle schools and primary schools.
The third is to check the selection and use.
Insist on "every selection must be reviewed" for teaching materials, clarify the main body, principles, and procedures of selection of teaching materials, and standardize "who chooses and how to choose".
Intensify the inspection of the selection and use of textbooks, seriously investigate and punish the illegal selection of textbooks, seriously investigate and punish textbooks and reading materials that have problems in value orientation and scientificity, and resolutely live in the schoolbags of students.
According to Tian Huisheng, the continuous increase in the protection of teaching materials in terms of human, financial and material aspects has effectively reversed the situation of insufficient funding, lack of talents, and weak foundations for teaching materials.
One is the substantial increase in funding for textbook construction.
Establish a funding guarantee mechanism for teaching materials construction invested by the state, localities, schools, publishing units and other parties.
The central government has set up a special project for teaching materials, focusing on supporting the compilation of teaching materials, the construction of teaching materials in short supply, and basic research on teaching materials.
Localities and schools have included teaching materials construction funds into their budgets in accordance with regulations.
Actively guide textbook compilation and publishing units to increase funding for textbook research and development, use training, and follow-up monitoring.
The second is the continuous improvement of the guarantee mechanism for the construction of teaching materials team.
Insist on both training and training, and strengthen the construction of teaching materials.
Encourage and support universities and research institutes to enroll graduate students in the direction of textbook construction, and arrange them in the national graduate enrollment plan.
Formulate effective incentive measures, and use the editing and review of teaching materials as an important basis for performance evaluation, job evaluation and job title evaluation.
The third is the continuous strengthening of the basic support for the construction of teaching materials.
Establish a national expert database for editing and reviewing curriculum materials, with more than 5,000 editing experts and more than 3,000 reviewing experts.
Constructing textbook theoretical research, literature data, compilation resources, and statistical analysis database to provide resource support for textbook construction.
The textbook network review system, basic data management system, quality monitoring platform, and information service platform have been built one after another, and the information management of textbooks has moved towards globalization and the whole process.
According to Tian Huisheng, according to incomplete statistics, there are currently nearly 190,000 types of academic education textbooks at all levels nationwide, including nearly 10,000 types of basic education textbooks, nearly 80,000 textbooks for vocational education and continuing education, and higher education. Nearly 100,000 kinds of textbooks.
At the same time, we will organize and compile three textbooks of morality and rule of law (ideological and political), Chinese and history in primary and secondary schools.
The compulsory education three subject unified textbooks were officially put into use in 2017, and the full coverage of all grades was achieved in 2019.
The general high school three-subject unified textbook will be officially put into use in 2019. It currently covers 20 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities). It will achieve "full coverage" in all provinces by 2022, and full coverage in all grades by 2025.
The use of the three subject unified textbooks has strongly promoted the integration of Lideshu people throughout the basic education stage and formed an integrated talent training pattern.
