Xi Jinping: We must make good use of the "big ideological and political course" and must combine it with reality.

　　This sentence comes from General Secretary Xi Jinping’s speech on March 6, 2021, when he visited members of the medical and health circles and education circles who attended the fourth session of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference.

　　The ideological and political theory course is an important course that solves the fundamental problem of "who to train, how to train people, and for whom to train people" and implements the fundamental task of cultivating people with moral integrity. It plays an irreplaceable role in cultivating socialist builders and successors. important role.

　　"Big Ideological and Political Courses" refers to teaching innovation and practice activities that combine small classrooms on campus with the real society.

The "bigness" of "big ideological and political courses" lies in the fact that teachers should have the "greatest person in the country" in mind, keep close to the "two overall situations", and lead students to learn and think about history and reality, so as to feel and correctly understand the great changes of the times. The general development trend of the world and China.

In July 2022, ten departments including the Ministry of Education issued the "Work Plan for Comprehensively Promoting the Construction of "Big Ideological and Political Courses"", proposing to use existing bases (venues) to establish a number of "Big Ideological and Political Courses" practical teaching bases by topic. The first batch of 453 practical teaching bases across the country were announced and opened to the public.

Primary and secondary schools across the country have set up practical teaching bases at different levels around topics such as scientific spirit, industrial culture, beautiful China, and advanced culture.

At the end of last year, the "Grand Ideological and Political Courses" high-quality resource project with the theme of revolutionary cultural relics released a total of 10 demonstration projects and 100 high-quality projects, including "Grand Ideological and Political Courses on the Central Axis of Beijing" and "Liu Gongdao School Opening" There are courses with distinctive regional characteristics such as "First Lesson", as well as specialized professional venues such as the Traditional Red Revolution Memorial Hall, the Chinese Film Museum, and the Kazakh Military Industry Memorial Hall.

　　The ever-changing new era is our best source of running water for teaching ideological and political courses.

From domestic large aircraft and large cruise ships transporting tourists to enjoy the holiday before and after the Spring Festival, to the thawing of glaciers and sprouting of vegetation, drawing ecological maps of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, to the new productivity formats represented by "unmanned factories" and autonomous driving, which are surging in thousands of industries. The new kinetic energy generated, these rapid changes and diverse and rich real-life scenes taking place in our real life are the best cases and teaching materials for our "big ideological and political courses".

Making good use of it and telling the story of China in the new era can make this course more and more "live" and "popular".

　　Young people in the new era are the successors and builders of our strong country and national rejuvenation.

We must use the vast land of China as a classroom and the fiery practice of Chinese-style modernization as material to vividly and vividly explain why the Chinese Communist Party “can”, why Marxism “works”, and why socialism with Chinese characteristics is “good”. Guide the majority of young people to consciously link the realization of personal values ​​​​with the future and destiny of the party and the country, and consciously integrate into the struggle to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
