Vice-Premier Stresses Education in Ideology, Ethics
Vice-Premier Li Lanqing has called on schools nationwide to further strengthen education in ideology and ethics among both students and teachers.
Ideological and political work, the building of the Communist Party of China (CPC) on campuses and education in ethics in schools have direct bearings on the cultivation of the young and the success of China's modernization drive, the vice-premier said.
Li, also a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, made the remarks at a national meeting on Party building in colleges and ethical education in primary and middle schools.
In recent years, party building, and ideological and political work in colleges and universities have achieved notable results, and the main ideological trends on Chinese campuses are steady, healthy and positive. However, lots of problems still exist.
The new situation and challenges demand that the party building and ideological and political work in colleges and universities must be further strengthened rather than weakened, the vice-premier said.
Speaking of education in ethics among students and teachers in primary and middle schools, Li noted that it is imperative to combat the phenomenon of emphasizing intellectual development and book knowledge while neglecting education in ethics and social practice.
The thinking on education in schools must be straightened out, and priority given to education in ethics in the nation's pursuit of quality education, the vice-premier said.
