At present, the construction of a strong education system faces new contradictions and new problems; overcoming these challenges requires comprehensively deepening educational reform, and it is imperative to uphold the Party’s leadership.

A high-quality education system is the key to building a strong educational nation. The evaluation dimensions of a strong educational nation encompass four aspects: educational equity, quality standards, service capacity, and sustainable development potential. High-quality development can drive and enhance progress in all other areas. Therefore, building a strong educational nation and establishing a robust, high-quality education system represent the primary pathway forward. To build a high-quality education system, we must ensure that the overall quality levels of schools at all levels and of all types reach the upper-middle ranks globally on key comparable indicators, and comprehensively enhance the modernization of our education governance systems and governance capabilities. Ultimately, the success of building a high-quality education system will not only advance the construction of a strong educational nation but also promote high-quality economic and social development.

During the fifth collective study session of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that building a strong country in education, science and technology, and talent is intrinsically consistent and mutually supportive. We must organically integrate these three areas and promote them in a coordinated and holistic manner, thereby generating a multiplier effect that drives high-quality development. Education is the prerequisite for cultivating talent and advancing scientific and technological development. We must give full play to education's role as a strategic vanguard, highlighting the cultivation of high-quality, innovative talents, technically skilled professionals, and specialists in key areas of major national strategies within the talent-development systems of schools at all levels and of all types, thus enhancing education’s capacity to support and contribute to high-quality development. Science and technology are both the goal and the means of educational development and talent cultivation. We must harness the driving force of science and technology, using its achievements to better optimize educational technologies and strategies, leveraging scientific and technological progress to spur educational advancement and improve the talent-development system, thereby establishing a virtuous cycle among education, science and technology, and talent. Talent is the cornerstone of educational development and scientific and technological progress; we must fully leverage the proactive advantages of talented individuals. Under China’s vast education system, how to maximize the advantages of our human resources is a major issue of our times. To attract and make good use of outstanding talents from around the world, the key lies in adopting more proactive, more open, and more effective talent policies. The integrated development of education, science and technology, and talent—forming a powerful synergy—is an effective strategy for accelerating the construction of a strong country in education.
