Promoting large-scale research and seeing results

Investigation and research is the heirloom of our party, the basic skill of doing all the work well, and the important content of this theme education. The Education Working Committee of Hunan Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Department of Education have conscientiously implemented the decision-making arrangements of the Central Committee and the Provincial Party Committee for Daxing investigation and research, carried out high-quality large-scale investigations to accelerate the construction of a strong education province, and achieved phased results. The education system of the whole province should adhere to benchmarking and answering the same questions, further enrich and deepen the investigation and research programs determined by the theme education, and promote the large-scale investigations to accelerate the construction of a strong education province with high standing, quasi-targeting, fine yardstick, practical measures and new thinking, and achieve results.
Adhere to the political position and then improve.The station determines the orientation and empowers the carry. General Secretary Supreme Leader’s important speech during the fifth collective study in the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee emphasized the acceleration of building an educational power and provided strong support for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, which was of great significance and far-reaching influence. Hunan Provincial Party Committee and provincial government implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and make a major decision to "accelerate the construction of a strong education province", which is the main theme of the work of the province’s education system at present and in the future. The Education Working Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Department of Education believe that "strong" education province means that a province’s education has a strong development level, strong talent quality, strong support services, strong team building, strong security support, strong internal and external influence, and its overall strength is at the national leading level; A strong education province should be a strong basic education province, a strong vocational education province and a strong higher education province, and it should also be composed of a strong education city (state) and a strong education county (district). All levels and parties need to make joint efforts, promote together and strive for the best. Based on the "two overall situations", the education system of the whole province should focus on the great changes in the situation, tasks, conditions and environment faced by education, organize party member cadres to study the important exposition of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on investigation and research in the form of theoretical learning center groups, "the first topic" and branch theme party days, deeply understand the important exposition of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on education, especially the spirit of his important speech on building an educational power, and thoroughly implement the "going to find and promote" activities of the provincial party Committee and the provincial government.
Adhere to the problem-oriented and then lead.Leading the "research direction" with "problem orientation" is a consistent fine tradition of our party. Each team member of the Education Working Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Education Department took the lead in conducting special research on 16 key issues, including the top-level design of building a strong education province, the balanced development of compulsory education, the optimization of vocational education type positioning, and the connotation development of higher education. According to the preliminary investigation, Hunan has certain foundation and advantages in building a strong education province, but there is still a big gap compared with the target requirements of advanced provinces and strong education provinces. For example, the problem of insufficient imbalance in education development is mainly reflected in the large gap in education level between regions, and the phenomenon of "crowded cities and weak villages" and the large gap between schools is still outstanding. For example, the sharp changes in the school-age population will lead to a more prominent contradiction between the scale of higher education and high school education and the supply of resources, and the scale of pre-school education and compulsory education will drop sharply. However, some schools in some places are not forward-looking enough in the layout and development of education. For example, some schools in some places have problems such as imperfect talent training system, low quality, poor discipline and specialty structure, weak supporting service ability, insufficient teachers and investment, and backward basic guarantee. The education system of the whole province should carry out a large-scale investigation to accelerate the construction of a strong education province, strengthen the awareness of problems, dare to face up to and be good at discovering the outstanding performance of the above-mentioned problems in local schools, take solving problems as the fundamental purpose, truly find out the situation, identify the problems, put forward the countermeasures, and promote the progress of education and serve the high-quality development in the solution of one problem after another.
Adhere to the satisfaction of the masses and re-examine.Accelerating the construction of a strong education province is ultimately to run a satisfactory education for the people. We must firmly grasp the correct direction and source of strength of large-scale research, stand firm on the people’s stand and follow the mass line. Facing the new orientation and vision of accelerating the construction of a strong education province, the survey found that the educational needs of the people showed some new characteristics. For example, the problems of "having a garden" and "having a school" that people were most concerned about before have been basically solved, but the desire to "enter a good garden", "study hard" and "have a good career" has become stronger; After the "double reduction", parents are more willing to develop quality education, the quality of after-school service supply and meet the individualized development needs of students; With the development of urbanization, changes in population and social structure, people’s expectations for urban and rural education layout structure and resource allocation, vocational education, continuing education, old-age education and other educational services that run through people’s life cycle are stronger, and so on. In view of these new features, the province’s education system should adopt the "four noes and two straights" approach, and go to places and schools where there are many difficulties, teachers and students have concentrated opinions, and the work can’t be started. They should observe the people’s feelings, teach their feelings, dissect sparrows, do real research and research, and refrain from formalism and bureaucracy. They should promptly answer questions, dispel doubts and respond to demands about educational problems that the masses are concerned about, so as to enhance people’s education and people’s livelihood well-being.
Insist on seeking truth from facts and innovate again.Investigation and research must adhere to the most basic ideological line of our party, seeking truth from facts, proceeding from reality in everything, integrating theory with practice, and then seeking new and innovative ideas. The Education Working Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Department of Education comprehensively use various research methods, fully rely on education statistics, global compulsory education quality monitoring, student psychological screening and other means, pay attention to speaking with data and facts, improve the scientificity and effectiveness of the large-scale research on accelerating the construction of a strong education province, form a number of quality and weighty research results, and innovatively launch the "two peaks experience" for the high-quality development of county compulsory education and the "seven ones" initiative for mental health in primary and secondary schools. Innovatively carried out the red research of "My Journey to Shaoshan", the construction of "Great Ideological and Political Course" of Struggle Youth, the selection of "Xu Teli Project" in the county, the early training of top-notch innovative talents, the management of non-disciplinary off-campus training institutions, the pilot of "Chu Yi Craftsman" and the comprehensive reform of higher education. The province’s education system should fully grasp the policy orientation of building a strong education country, combine the provincial, municipal and school conditions, deeply tap Hunan’s unique advantages in culture, talents, platform and management, promote the coordinated progress of investigation and research, policy research and countermeasure research, strive to form a series of research results with political weight, academic content, spiritual energy and practical strength, study and put forward a set of innovative ideas with high standing, high standards and high efficiency, and actively submit the "golden idea of building a strong education country"
Adhere to system integration before starting.To turn the research results into the actual results of accelerating the construction of a strong education province, we need to adhere to the unity of system integration and precise policy, and carry out forward-looking thinking, overall planning and overall promotion. The Education Working Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Education Department, through large-scale investigation, put forward to strive to build a strong education province in China in about 10 years’ efforts, and take the educational concept, system, system, content, method and governance system as the basic path, highlighting the "six grasps" and "three tasks", that is, grasping the key and implementing priority development; Grasp the root and improve the education system; Grasp the key points and promote educational equity; Grasp the core and improve quality and efficiency; Grasp the motive force and deepen the educational reform; Grasp the foundation and strengthen the condition guarantee; Arrange the strategic first-hand task of "no one has what I have", the strategic competitive task of "people have what I am strong" and the strategic winning task of "people are strong and I am superior", design the "four beams and eight pillars" for future development, introduce and implement policies and measures to accelerate the construction of a strong education province, and unite all parties to focus on building a high-quality education system, improving the quality of independent training of talents, implementing a new round of "double-first-class" construction, enhancing the scientific and technological innovation ability of colleges and universities. The province’s education system should benchmark the major decision-making arrangements of the provincial party Committee and the provincial government and the special actions and major projects of the Ministry of Education, carefully investigate and plan the goals and tasks of their respective career development, strengthen the trinity of education, science and technology and talents, and strive to build a high-quality education system. To help the province’s education with the strength of one place and one school, in order to realize the beautiful blueprint of "three highs and four innovations",Promoting the construction of a strong country and national rejuvenation and contributing to Hunan’s educational strength.
