China News Service, March 7th Title: Xi Yandao｜The two sessions "going out of the group", Xi Jinping emphasized three words "we must deeply grasp the demand for education, science and technology, and talents of Chinese modernization, and strengthen the supporting role of education in science and technology and talents."

On March 6, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited the members of the Democratic League, Democratic Progressive Party and Education who attended the Third Session of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and attended the joint group meeting. He made the above statement at the meeting.

The day before, when participating in the deliberation of the Jiangsu delegation at the Third Session of the 14th National People's Congress, General Secretary Xi Jinping also emphasized the close relationship between education, science and technology and talents: "Adhere to the joint efforts of education, science and technology and talents, not only produce more scientific and technological achievements, but also transform scientific and technological achievements into real productivity."

Operation of education, development of science and technology, and education of talents, is inherently unified and mutually supportive. General Secretary Xi Jinping has always had profound thoughts on how to promote a virtuous cycle between the three.

As early as more than 30 years ago, in February 1990, while working in Ningde, Fujian, Comrade Xi Jinping proposed in the article "How should we do education well" that "the economy depends on science and technology, science and technology rely on talents, and talents rely on education."

The article particularly emphasizes that education is truly placed as a pioneer and strive to achieve a virtuous cycle of mutual support and mutual promotion of education, science and technology and economy.

In recent years, with the deepening development of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, international competition around high-quality talents and the commanding heights of science and technology has been unprecedentedly fierce, and the close connection between education, science and technology and talents has become more prominent.

In 2022, the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China listed education, science and technology and talent as a special chapter for the first time, and was coordinated and deployed. Last year, the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China further proposed to "coordinate the reform of the system and mechanism of education and science and technology talents."

Education, science and technology, talents, education is the foundation and is the pioneer.

How to strengthen the supporting role of education in science and technology and talents? General Secretary Xi Jinping made a profound explanation when attending the CPPCC joint meeting this time.

To cultivate morality and educate people, we must first establish morality. The General Secretary said that "moral education is integrated into the entire process of intellectual education, sports, aesthetic education, and labor education", and emphasized that "effectively integrate the 'small classroom' of ideological and political education with the 'big classroom' of society, so as to do moral education more properly and more effectively."

Owning education well is fundamentally deepening reform. "Establish a scientific education evaluation system", "Improve the school management system", "Establish and improve a more reasonable and efficient educational resource allocation mechanism"... The General Secretary pointed out the reform path to building a high-quality education system.

Talent cultivation needs to be adapted to development. The General Secretary particularly emphasized that to achieve a benign interaction between independent scientific and technological innovation and independent talent cultivation, "we must improve the adaptation mechanism for talent cultivation and economic and social development needs, and improve the quality and efficiency of independent talent cultivation."

What kind of people should be cultivated? How to cultivate people? For whom to cultivate people? General Secretary Xi Jinping thinks about the long-term.

General Secretary Xi Jinping once pointed out that the competition for comprehensive national strength in the world today is ultimately a competition for talents. Talents are increasingly becoming strategic resources to promote economic and social development, and the basic, pioneering, and overall status and role of education are more prominent.

A China with many talents, people and talents can continue to burst out with the vitality of innovation and creation, seize opportunities, and win the initiative.
