★Policy Comments:

is different from previous years. This year's National Education Work Conference emphasizes the need to give full play to the leading role of education, especially today when the internal and external environment has undergone profound changes, education plays an important role in identifying and cultivating talents, and is a "reservoir" to cultivate talents that meet the needs of economic and social development. Therefore, standing in the new era, "change" in education work has become the main tone of this conference - accurately identifying changes, actively seeking changes, and actively responding. How to give full play to the basic, pioneering and overall nature of education has become the focus of the work of the education system in the future, and a series of reforms and policies around basic education, vocational education and general higher education will continue to be released.

In terms of basic education, it continues the general trend of double reduction work last year. This year's education work conference once again emphasized the need to continue to consolidate this achievement and improve the effectiveness of off-campus training institutions governance. At the same time, it is necessary to deepen the popularization and universal development of preschool education, vigorously promote the high-quality and balanced development of compulsory education, accelerate the promotion of the diverse characteristics of ordinary high schools, and further deepen the reform of education evaluation in the new era.

In terms of vocational education, the policy level has been paying attention to it continuously in recent years.As an important part of education, the countercyclical nature of vocational education can be fully manifested when the economy faces changes in the internal and external environment. Taking vocational education as a new engine for industrial transformation and upgrading and a focus on improving people's livelihood and well-being, there are still some bottlenecks in vocational education, such as the society's low recognition of this education, the low marketization of vocational education, and it is out of touch with the actual needs of enterprises.

In recent years, many places have taken the lead in carrying out the integration of "1+X" documents and certificates, building a modern vocational education system, and carrying out the integrated training mechanism of secondary vocational schools, higher vocational schools, and secondary vocational schools in vocational schools. At the same time, they have promoted the co-construction and sharing of vocational schools and enterprises, industries, and industrial parks, and through the "talent order" model, they have provided skilled talents to the society. This education work conference once again proposed and emphasized the need to enhance the adaptability of vocational education and improve the quality of connotation. I believe that with the continuous development and improvement of vocational education, the above bottlenecks will be solved.

In terms of general higher education, the conference proposed that innovative development support the needs of national strategies is of great significance to general higher education, especially ‘Double First-Class’ universities, as the main force in cultivating research talents. Grasping the word innovation means that college education should focus on changing and innovating the independent training model of high-level talents and reforming the training mechanism of talents in basic and cutting-edge fields.

Under the pattern of global competition, science and technology and talents have become the main tone of future development. How to seize the new high ground of scientific and technological competition and solve bottlenecks such as "bottlenecks", higher education must be forward-looking in talent training. In addition to continuing to tilt towards basic scientific research and interdisciplinary disciplines in discipline construction, it must also assume the role of a "talent reservoir" in talent training, and accelerate the cultivation and introduction of innovative talents, socially scarce talents and high-level compound talents.
