II. The Theoretical Characteristics of Xi Jinping’s Important Discourse on Coordinating Education, Science and Technology, and Talent

二、习近平关于统筹教育科技人才重要论述的理论特质

Xi Jinping’s important discourse on coordinating education, science and technology, and talent is a major achievement of combining the basic principles of Marxism with China’s specific realities and with the excellent traditional Chinese culture. It both carries forward the theoretical achievements concerning education, science and technology, and talent work formed through the Party’s long-term exploration and advances with the times, displaying distinct and prominent theoretical characteristics.

习近平关于统筹教育科技人才重要论述，是马克思主义基本原理同中国具体实际相结合、同中华优秀传统文化相结合的重大成果，同我们党历经长期探索而形成的关于教育科技人才工作的理论成果既一脉相承又与时俱进，展现出鲜明而突出的理论特质。

First, profound theoretical origins. Xi Jinping’s important discourse on coordinating education, science and technology, and talent has a deep foundation in Chinese civilization. The Chinese nation has always valued education and has consistently treated it as a major affair in governing the country and ensuring stability. “Revering education and encouraging learning are the great foundation of state-building; promoting talent and cultivating ability are the primary tasks of governance.” [5]5 A classical Chinese saying from the Ming dynasty thinker Zhu Zhiyu (朱之瑜), emphasizing the foundational role of education and talent cultivation in state governance. In the Western Zhou period, the official schools required students to master the “six arts” of rites, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics—in today’s terms, this meant equal emphasis on knowledge and skill, and a combination of the humanities and sciences. The ideas in fine traditional Chinese culture of valuing benevolence, emphasizing the people, upholding integrity, esteeming justice, advocating harmony, and seeking common ground have always been important content in education throughout successive dynasties. The custom of respecting teachers and valuing education is deeply rooted in the spiritual world of the Chinese nation, and the concepts of teaching according to aptitude and mutual improvement between teacher and student have been passed down through generations. Ancient Chinese science and technology long led the world, and the inventions and creations symbolized by the four great inventions [6]6 The four great inventions of ancient China are papermaking, printing, gunpowder, and the compass. made significant contributions to human civilization. Our ancestors explored the relationship between heaven and humanity, investigated things to exhaust their principles, and created a wealth of achievements in fields such as astronomy, mathematics, medicine, and agriculture, manifesting the fine tradition of esteeming science and applying knowledge to practical affairs. The Chinese nation has always emphasized “cultivating talent and creating scholars,” believing that “if the state has many worthy and capable people, then the governance of the state will be solid,” leaving behind many stories and allusions of recommending the worthy and appointing the capable. Since ancient times, China has stressed establishing virtue as the foundation and cultivating oneself as the root, advocating that in “transmitting the Way, imparting knowledge, and resolving doubts” and “teaching affairs while enlightening virtue,” one guides people toward the great Way and enlightens them with great wisdom, enabling them to strive to become pillars of society. The ideas and concepts concerning education, science and technology, and talent in fine traditional Chinese culture have provided rich historical and cultural nourishment for our Party’s advancement of the cause of education, science and technology, and talent.

第一，深厚的理论渊源。习近平关于统筹教育科技人才重要论述，具有深厚的中华文明根基。中华民族历来重视教育，始终把教育作为治国安邦的大事。“敬教劝学，建国之大本；兴贤育才，为政之先务。”我国西周时期的官学要求学生掌握礼、乐、射、御、书、数“六艺”，用今天的话说就是知识与技能并重、文理兼备。中华优秀传统文化中讲仁爱、重民本、守诚信、崇正义、尚和合、求大同的思想观念，一直是历朝历代教育的重要内容。尊师重教的风尚深深植根于中华民族的精神世界中，因材施教、教学相长的理念代代相传。中国古代科技曾经长期走在世界前列，以四大发明为标志的发明创造为人类文明作出了重大贡献。我们的先人们究天人之际、格物穷理，在天文、算学、医学、农学等多个领域创造了累累硕果，彰显了崇尚科学、经世致用的优良传统。中华民族历来注重“育才造士”，信奉“国有贤良之士众，则国家之治厚”，留下了许多举贤荐能、任人唯贤的佳话典故。中国自古讲究立德为先、修身为本，倡导在“传道授业解惑”“教之以事而喻诸德”中引人以大道、启人以大智，使人努力成为栋梁之材。中华优秀传统文化中关于教育科技人才的思想观念，为我们党推进教育科技人才事业发展提供了丰厚的历史文化滋养。

Marxist educational theory, scientific and technological theory, and talent theory have provided ideological guidance for our Party’s explorations and practices. The classical Marxist writers’ views on the social nature of education as its essential attribute and its class character in class society, their views on promoting the free and comprehensive development of individuals through comprehensive education, and their view that combining education with productive labor is the only method for creating comprehensively developed individuals—these have laid the basic framework of Marxist educational theory. The classical Marxist writers attached great importance to the role of science and technology, holding that science is “a revolutionary force that drives history forward” and pointing out that “productive forces also include science.” [7]7 The first quotation is from Friedrich Engels’s speech at the graveside of Karl Marx; the second is from Marx’s *Grundrisse*. With the liberation and free and comprehensive development of humanity as their goal, the classical Marxist writers pointed out that human capabilities are the public display of humanity’s essential powers, proposed that “everyone has the indisputable right to fully develop all their abilities,” [8]8 A formulation from Friedrich Engels’s *Principles of Communism*. emphasized that humans are the most active factor in the productive forces, and argued that the people’s management of the state becomes possible only when a large number of qualified professional and technical personnel are cultivated. These theoretical viewpoints have provided a living source for our Party’s advancement of the cause of education, science and technology, and talent.

马克思主义教育理论、科技理论、人才理论，为我们党的探索实践提供了思想指引。马克思主义经典作家关于教育的本质属性是社会性、在阶级社会具有阶级性的观点，关于要通过实施全面教育促进人自由而全面的发展的观点，关于教育同生产劳动相结合是造就全面发展的人的唯一方法的观点等，奠定了马克思主义教育理论的基本框架。马克思主义经典作家高度重视科学技术的作用，认为科学“是一种在历史上起推动作用的、革命的力量”，指出“生产力中也包括科学”。马克思主义经典作家以人的解放和自由全面发展为目标，指出人的能力是人的本质力量的公开展示，提出“使每个人都无可争辩地有权全面发展自己的才能”，强调人是生产力中最活跃的因素，认为只有在培养出大批合格的专业技术人才的情况下人民管理国家才成为可能。这些理论观点，为我们党推进教育科技人才事业发展提供了源头活水。

In the various historical periods of the Chinese revolution, construction, and reform, our Party has attached great importance to and continuously advanced the work of education, science and technology, and talent, carrying out unremitting explorations. Mao Zedong proposed that education should be combined with social practice and with labor, pointed out that “the battle of science and technology must be fought, and it must be won,” and emphasized that “without its own vast technical and theoretical contingents, the proletariat cannot build socialism.” [9]9 Mao Zedong’s statements reflect the emphasis on science and technology during the socialist construction period, particularly in the late 1950s and 1960s. Deng Xiaoping proposed that “education should be oriented toward modernization, toward the world, and toward the future,” and emphasized the need to “respect knowledge and respect talent.” [10]10 Deng Xiaoping’s “three orientations” for education were proposed in 1983, and his call to “respect knowledge and respect talent” was a key slogan of the reform and opening up era. Jiang Zemin led the formulation and implementation of the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education, emphasized the need to advance quality education, pointed out that “talent resources are the primary resource,” proposed that science and technology are “the concentrated embodiment and main hallmark of advanced productive forces,” and initiated the construction of the national innovation system. [11]11 Jiang Zemin’s contributions include the formal proposal of the “rejuvenating the country through science and education” strategy in 1995 and the “three represents” theory. Hu Jintao pointed out that fostering virtue and nurturing people is the fundamental task of socialist education with Chinese characteristics, emphasized that advancing educational development must adhere to a people-oriented approach, formulated the grand goal of implementing an innovation-driven development strategy and building an innovative country, proposed adhering to a scientific view of talent and vigorously implementing the strategy of strengthening the country through talent. [12]12 Hu Jintao’s “people-oriented” approach and the innovation-driven development strategy were central to his scientific development concept, formally adopted around 2003-2007. These ideological viewpoints have provided the most direct source of thought for Xi Jinping’s coordination of the development of education, science and technology, and talent.

在中国革命、建设和改革各个历史时期，我们党高度重视并持续推进教育科技人才工作，进行了不懈探索。毛泽东提出教育要与社会实践相结合、与劳动相结合，指出“科学技术这一仗，一定要打，而且必须打好”，强调“无产阶级没有自己的庞大的技术队伍和理论队伍，社会主义是不能建成的”。邓小平提出“教育要面向现代化，面向世界，面向未来”，强调要“尊重知识，尊重人才”。江泽民领导制定和实施科教兴国战略，强调要推进素质教育，指出“人才资源是第一资源”，提出科学技术“是先进生产力的集中体现和主要标志”，启动国家创新体系建设。胡锦涛指出立德树人是中国特色社会主义教育的根本任务，强调推进教育事业发展必须坚持以人为本，制定了实施创新驱动发展战略、建设创新型国家的宏伟目标，提出坚持科学人才观、大力实施人才强国战略。这些思想观点，为习近平统筹教育科技人才事业发展提供了最直接的思想来源。

Second, a solid practical foundation. In today’s world, changes unseen in a century are accelerating in an all-round, deep-seated manner; changes in the world, changes in the times, and changes in history are unfolding in unprecedented ways. Competition and gaming among major powers are intensifying day by day, local conflicts and turbulence occur frequently, and the world has entered a new period of turbulence and transformation. A new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is deepening; the intelligentization, integration, and greening of industries are in the ascendant; and global industrial and supply chains are undergoing profound adjustments. The United States and other Western countries are continuously escalating their containment and suppression of China, resorting to tactics of “building walls,” “decoupling,” and “cutting off supply chains,” generalizing the concept of national security, implementing long-arm jurisdiction, restricting scientific, technological, and people-to-people exchanges, and stopping at nothing. China’s development has entered a period in which strategic opportunities and risks and challenges coexist, with increasing uncertainties and unpredictable factors.

第二，坚实的实践基础。当今世界百年未有之大变局全方位、深层次加速演进，世界之变、时代之变、历史之变正以前所未有的方式展开，大国竞争博弈日益加剧，局部冲突和动荡频发，世界进入新的动荡变革期。新一轮科技革命和产业变革深入发展，产业智能化、融合化、绿色化方兴未艾，全球产业链供应链深度调整。美西方国家对我国的遏制打压不断升级，大搞“筑墙”“脱钩”“断链”战术，泛化国家安全概念，实施长臂管辖，限制科技人文交流，无所不用其极。我国发展进入战略机遇和风险挑战并存、不确定难预料因素增多的时期。

From the perspective of the domestic situation, as socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a New Era, the principal contradiction in Chinese society has changed. The people’s desire for a better life has become stronger; they look forward to fairer and higher-quality education, more flexible and full employment, more stable and abundant income, science and technology that better benefit people’s livelihoods, a more stable and orderly society, and a situation where everyone can fully display their talents and each gets his due. China is in a critical period of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and the role of education, science and technology, and talent in the overall work of the Party and the state has become more prominent and their status more important. At the same time, the problem of unbalanced and inadequate development remains prominent; the quality and efficiency of the economy are still not high; the capacity for scientific and technological innovation is still not strong; there are weak links in the high-quality education system; and the cultivation of high-quality talent is more urgent. China’s historical position, its economic and social development situation, and the practice of work on education, science and technology, and talent have put forward new and higher requirements for coordinating these three areas.

从国内形势看，随着中国特色社会主义进入新时代，我国社会主要矛盾发生变化，人民对美好生活的向往更加强烈，期盼教育更加公平优质、就业更加灵活充分、收入更加稳定丰裕、科技更加惠及民生、社会更加安定有序，人人各展其能而又各得其所。我国正处于中华民族伟大复兴的关键时期，教育科技人才在党和国家工作全局中的作用更加突出、地位更加重要。与此同时，发展不平衡不充分问题仍然突出，经济质量和效益还不高，科技创新能力还不强，高质量教育体系存在薄弱环节，高素质人才培养更加迫切。我国所处的历史方位、经济社会发展状况以及教育科技人才工作的实践，对统筹教育科技人才提出了新的更高要求。

Facing the complex and volatile domestic and international environment, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has placed education, science and technology, and talent in a more important position within the overall cause of the Party and the state, launching a series of major measures with overall and forward-looking significance, and carrying out a series of important works with pioneering and foundational significance. In the field of education, the Party Central Committee made the major decision to accelerate the modernization of education and build a strong country in education, unswervingly implemented the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education, adhered to fostering virtue and nurturing people, strengthened ideological and political work in schools, vigorously advanced comprehensive reform in the education sector, and pushed educational development to a new level. China has built the world’s largest education system, and the overall level of educational modernization has entered the ranks of upper-middle-income countries in the world. In the field of science and technology, the Party Central Committee has insisted on taking science and technology as the primary driving force for development, deeply implemented the innovation-driven development strategy, proposed the strategic task of accelerating the building of an innovative country, focused on advancing high-level self-reliance and self-strengthening in science and technology, continuously deepened the reform of the science and technology system, and promoted historic achievements and historic changes in China’s science and technology enterprise. In the field of talent, the Party Central Committee made the major judgment that talent is a strategic resource for achieving national rejuvenation and gaining the initiative in international competition, made major deployments for the all-round cultivation, introduction, and use of talent, insisted on the strategic position of talent leading development, accelerated the building of a national strategic talent force, deepened the reform of the system and mechanism for talent development, and focused on creating an environment that recognizes, loves, respects, and uses talent. China’s talent work now stands at a new historical starting point. Xi Jinping’s important discourse on coordinating education, science and technology, and talent was formed precisely in this magnificent great process; it is an original theoretical achievement that emerged in response to the requirements of the times and practical development, and it is a scientific summary and refined distillation of the fresh experience of work on education, science and technology, and talent in the New Era.

面对错综复杂的国内外环境，以习近平同志为核心的党中央把教育科技人才摆在党和国家事业全局中更加重要的位置，推出一系列具有全局性、前瞻性的重大举措，开展一系列具有开创性、基础性的重要工作。在教育方面，党中央作出加快教育现代化、建设教育强国的重大决策，坚定不移实施科教兴国战略，坚持立德树人，加强学校思想政治工作，大力推进教育领域综合改革，推动教育发展迈上新台阶。我国已建成世界上规模最大的教育体系，教育现代化发展总体水平跨入世界中上国家行列。在科技方面，党中央坚持把科技作为引领发展的第一动力，深入实施创新驱动发展战略，提出加快建设创新型国家的战略任务，着力推进高水平科技自立自强，不断深化科技体制改革，推动我国科技事业取得历史性成就、发生历史性变革。在人才方面，党中央作出人才是实现民族振兴、赢得国际竞争主动的战略资源的重大判断，作出全方位培养、引进、使用人才的重大部署，坚持人才引领发展的战略地位，加快建设国家战略人才力量，深化人才发展体制机制改革，着力营造识才爱才敬才用才的环境，我国人才工作站在一个新的历史起点上。习近平关于统筹教育科技人才重要论述，就是在这波澜壮阔的伟大进程中形成的，是顺应时代和实践发展要求应运而生的原创性理论成果，是对新时代教育科技人才工作新鲜经验的科学总结和提炼升华。

Third, a rigorous internal logic. The ten aspects of Xi Jinping’s important discourse on coordinating education, science and technology, and talent constitute its “four beams and eight pillars.” [13]13 “Four beams and eight pillars” (四梁八柱) is a Chinese architectural metaphor for the main supporting framework of a system, here referring to the core components of Xi Jinping’s discourse. Each “persistence” has its own positioning and attributes, playing a unique role in the entire system. Each “persistence” contains a series of closely linked and mutually interpenetrating ideological viewpoints. They work together and influence each other, forming an organic and unified theoretical system. We can understand the internal logic of Xi Jinping’s important discourse on education, science and technology, and talent from three levels.

第三，严密的内在逻辑。习近平关于统筹教育科技人才重要论述的十个方面，构成其“四梁八柱”。每一个坚持都有自己的定位属性，在整个体系中发挥着独特的作用。每一个坚持都包含着一系列紧密联系、相互贯通的思想观点。它们共同作用、相互影响，构成有机统一的理论体系。我们可以从三个层面理解习近平关于教育科技人才重要论述的内在逻辑。

The first through third “persistences,” from the height of political leadership, stipulate the nature and direction of coordinating education, science and technology, and talent. These three persistences occupy a commanding and overarching position in Xi Jinping’s important discourse on coordinating education, science and technology, and talent, and have fundamental, decisive, and overall guiding significance. They must never be abandoned, deviated from, or violated; otherwise, disastrous consequences will ensue. Some Western countries, in their schemes to divide and Westernize China, threaten us most by their habitual means of denying the leadership

第一至第三个坚持，从政治引领的高度，规定了统筹教育科技人才的性质和方向。这三个坚持在习近平关于统筹教育科技人才重要论述中居于统率、总领地位，具有根本性、决定性、全局性的指导意义，须臾不可放弃、偏离、违背，否则会带来灾难性的后果。西方一些国家对我实施分化西化的图谋，威胁最大的惯用手段就是否定中国共产党的领导、诋毁中国特色社会主义制度、抹黑中国特色社会主义道路，妄图借此扰乱我们的思想。正是从关系党和国家长治久安的战略高度出发，习近平首先强调的是牢牢把握正确政治方向。统筹教育科技人才这件大事能不能办好，最关键的是政治保证是不是坚强有力、方向是不是正确，具体讲就是要坚持加强党的集中统一领导这个根本保证，坚持教育科技人才的基础性、战略性支撑地位，坚持“四个面向”的价值导向。这三个坚持实质上是强国建设、民族复兴伟业对教育科技人才工作提出的总体要求，是管总的东西，规定和确保了三者统筹的前进方向。

The fourth through seventh "upholds," from the dimension of work layout, deploy in sequence around the key tasks of coordinating education, science and technology, and talent. In the New Era, the overall goal of coordinating the development of education, science and technology, and talent is to organically combine the construction of a strong nation in education, a strong nation in science and technology, and a strong nation in talent, advancing them as an integrated whole. This overall goal plays a role of grasping the key points to drive forward the whole; all work in the fields of education, science and technology, and talent must be carried out under this overall goal, advance toward this overall goal, and be strengthened around this overall goal. The strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education, the strategy of strengthening the nation through talent, and the innovation-driven development strategy clarify the strategic measures for building a strong nation in education, a strong nation in science and technology, and a strong nation in talent. These three strategies are the "boats and bridges" for crossing the river; coordinating the implementation of the three strategies clarifies the strategic foundation for their coordination and points out the ways and means to achieve their effective linkage. "Developing new quality productive forces is the intrinsic requirement and key focus for promoting high-quality development"; reflected in the coordination of the three, this means smoothing the virtuous cycle of education, science and technology, and talent according to the development requirements of new quality productive forces. This clarifies, from the entirely new perspective of new quality productive forces, the key link in coordinating the three. To advance the coordination of the three, we must firmly grasp innovation as the core element, focus on new quality productive forces, and take accelerating the development of new quality productive forces as an important foundation for their coordination. Further deepening reform comprehensively is both the practical continuation of comprehensively deepening reform since the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee [14]14 “Double First-Class” refers to the Chinese government’s initiative to build a number of world-class universities and first-class disciplines, launched in 2015 as a successor to the earlier Project 211 and Project 985. and the new chapter of the era for advancing Chinese-path modernization on the new journey. Deepening the comprehensive reform of education, science and technology, and talent is the requirement of the times put forward by further deepening reform comprehensively for the coordination of the three. Its purpose is to promote the development of education, science and technology, and talent through reform and innovation, strive to eliminate all outdated ideas and institutional and mechanistic drawbacks, and provide strong impetus for the coordination of the three.

第四至第七个坚持，从工作布局的维度，围绕统筹教育科技人才的重点任务递次展开作出部署。新时代统筹教育科技人才事业发展，总目标是把建设教育强国、科技强国、人才强国有机结合起来，一体统筹推进。这个总目标具有纲举目张的作用，教育科技人才领域各个方面的工作都必须在这个总目标下开展、朝着这个总目标推进、围绕这个总目标加强。科教兴国战略、人才强国战略、创新驱动发展战略，明确了建设教育强国、科技强国、人才强国的战略举措。这三大战略属于过河的“船和桥”，统筹实施三大战略明确了三者统筹的战略基点，指明了实现三大战略有效联动的方式和途径。“发展新质生产力是推动高质量发展的内在要求和重要着力点”，反映在三者统筹方面，就是要按照新质生产力的发展要求畅通教育科技人才的良性循环。这就从新质生产力这个全新角度，明确了三者统筹的关键环节。推进三者统筹，就要抓紧抓牢创新这个核心要素，聚焦新质生产力，把加快发展新质生产力作为三者统筹的重要依托。进一步全面深化改革，既是党的十八届三中全会以来全面深化改革的实践续篇，也是新征程推进中国式现代化的时代新篇。深化教育科技人才综合改革，是进一步全面深化改革对三者统筹提出的时代要求，目的在于通过改革创新来推动教育科技人才事业发展，着力破除一切陈旧的思想观念和体制机制弊端，为三者统筹提供强大动力。

The eighth through tenth "upholds," from the perspective of creating a sound ecosystem, strengthen the guarantee conditions and spiritual strength for coordinating education, science and technology, and talent. Institutional competition is an important aspect of comprehensive national power competition, and institutional advantage is an important advantage for a country to gain strategic initiative. To promote the coordination of the three, we must take institutional building as the main line, follow the principle of establishing the new while abolishing the old, and first establishing before abolishing, to strengthen institutional guarantees, accelerate the formation of a basic system supporting comprehensive innovation, and thus better transform institutional advantages into governance effectiveness. China's work on education, science and technology, and talent does not exist in isolation from the world. Facing a new round of opening up and the continuous increase of external instability and uncertainty factors, we must accelerate the promotion of high-level opening up, enhance our self-development capability in the process of opening up, promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind through open cooperation, and ensure that innovation achievements benefit the people of all countries. Actively participating in global education governance, science and technology governance, and talent development governance, and promoting the formation of a new pattern of all-round, multi-level, and diversified international cooperation, essentially creates favorable external conditions for coordinating education, science and technology, and talent. The cause of innovation nurtures the spirit of innovation and an innovation culture; the spirit of innovation and an innovation culture lead the cause of innovation. Promoting the spirit of educators, the spirit of scientists, and cultivating an innovation culture aims to create a strong atmosphere of innovation throughout society, provide more proactive spiritual strength and ideological guidance for innovation and creation, and thus gather the mighty force for building a strong nation in education, a strong nation in science and technology, and a strong nation in talent.

第八至第十个坚持，从营造良好生态的角度，强化了统筹教育科技人才的保障条件和精神力量。制度竞争是综合国力竞争的重要方面，制度优势是一个国家赢得战略主动的重要优势。推动三者统筹，必须以制度建设为主线，按照破立并举、先立后破原则强化制度保障，加快形成支持全面创新的基础制度，从而把制度优势更好转化为治理效能。我国教育科技人才工作不是脱离世界而孤立存在的，面对新一轮对外开放和外部不稳定不确定性因素持续增加的态势，必须加快推进高水平对外开放，在对外开放中增强自我发展能力，在开放合作中推动构建人类命运共同体，确保创新成果造福各国人民。积极参与全球教育治理、科技治理和人才发展治理，推动形成全方位、多层次、多元化的国际合作新格局，实质上是为统筹教育科技人才创造有利的外部条件。创新事业孕育创新精神、创新文化，创新精神、创新文化引领创新事业。弘扬教育家精神、科学家精神和培育创新文化，目的是在全社会营造浓厚的创新氛围，为创新创造提供更为主动的精神力量和思想引领，从而汇聚建设教育强国、科技强国、人才强国的磅礴力量。

Fourth, scientific methods of thinking. Xi Jinping's important discourse on coordinating education, science and technology, and talent contains not only theoretical innovations and breakthroughs but also practical layouts and deployments, and also embodies scientific methods of thinking. This has greatly expanded the Party's breadth and depth of understanding of the cause of coordinating education, science and technology, and talent in the New Era, demonstrating immense power of truth.

第四，科学的思想方法。习近平关于统筹教育科技人才重要论述，既有理论上的创新突破，又有实践中的布局部署，同时还蕴含着科学的思想方法，极大拓展了党对新时代统筹教育科技人才事业认识的广度和深度，彰显了巨大的真理力量。

First, tenacious strategic resolve. Xi Jinping coordinates the overall strategic plan of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the changes unseen in a century, profoundly observes domestic and international development trends, scientifically grasps the opportunities and challenges facing the development of education, science and technology, and talent, explores the inherent laws of coordinating the three with great historical initiative, immense political courage, and a strong sense of mission and responsibility, reflecting the Party Central Committee's firm determination and steadfast will to promote the coordination of the three. Second, meticulous systems thinking. Xi Jinping consistently uses systems thinking

一是坚韧的战略定力。习近平统筹中华民族伟大复兴战略全局和世界百年未有之大变局，深刻洞察国内外发展大势，科学把握教育科技人才发展面临的机遇和挑战，以伟大的历史主动、巨大的政治勇气、强烈的使命担当探索三者统筹的内在规律，体现了党中央推动三者统筹的坚强决心和坚定意志。二是缜密的系统观念。习近平始终运用系统观念部署教育科技人才事业，强调坚持前瞻性思考、全局性谋划、战略性布局、整体性推进，注重综合施策、协同高效、同向发力，为三者统筹提供了科学的思想方法和工作方法。三是鲜明的发展导向。我国教育科技人才事业中存在的短板和薄弱环节，属于发展中出现的问题，也需要在发展中解决。习近平坚持以新发展理念为引领，用发展的办法解决前进中的难题，不断开辟发展新领域新赛道、塑造发展新动能新优势，将三者统筹融入教育科技人才事业高质量发展的实践进程中，彰显了推动高质量发展的思想自觉和行动自觉。四是强烈的创新意识。“创新是引领发展的第一动力，是国家综合国力和核心竞争力的最关键因素。”习近平顺应时代发展新趋势、实践发展新要求、人民群众新期待，大力推进教育科技人才事业理论创新、实践创新、制度创新、文化创新以及其他各方面创新，为三者统筹提供了强大动力和制度保障。五是宽广的世界眼光。开放合作是我们学习世界文明成果、在对外交往中发展壮大自己的必然要求。习近平始终以宏阔的全球视野关注人类前途命运，以开放包容的胸怀气度推动国际教育科技人才合作，致力营造互利共赢、互惠共享的开放创新生态，不断提升中国教育科技人才事业的全球化水平和国际影响力，推动形成更大范围、更宽领域、更深层次的开放合作格局。

III. Practical Requirements of Xi Jinping’s Important Discourse on Coordinating Education, Science and Technology, and Talent

三、习近平关于统筹教育科技人才重要论述的实践要求

Theory comes from practice and in turn guides practice. Looking to the future, we must firmly grasp the practical requirements of Xi Jinping’s important discourse on coordinating education, science and technology, and talent, anchor ourselves to the goals of building a strong nation in education, science and technology, and talent, and deploy the education chain, innovation chain, and talent chain as an integrated whole, promoting the systematic sharing, coordinated advancement, and efficient interconnection of these three chains, so as to effectively drive the deep and integrated development of education, science and technology, and talent.

理论来自实践，又指导实践。面向未来，我们必须牢牢把握习近平关于统筹教育科技人才重要论述的实践要求，锚定教育强国、科技强国、人才强国的奋斗目标，一体部署教育链创新链人才链，促进三链体系化共享、协同化推进、高效化贯通，有效推动教育科技人才深度融合发展。

(1) Taking education as the guide and foundation for the deep integrated development of the three

（一）以教育为三者深度融合发展的先导和基石

Although education, science and technology, and talent each bear different missions and tasks, the three have an intrinsic relationship of mutual accompaniment, mutual empowerment, and mutual promotion. Xi Jinping points out: “Scientific and technological innovation depends on talent, and talent cultivation depends on education.” The flourishing development of education continuously cultivates and produces innovative talent; innovative talent gives rise to scientific and technological innovation; and the expansion and deepening of scientific and technological innovation in turn acts upon education, reshaping and reconstructing the educational ecosystem. Viewed from the dialectical mechanism of the interaction among education, science and technology, and talent, education has a guiding role, serving as the solid support for scientific and technological innovation and the foundational project for talent cultivation. Coordinating the deep integration and development of education, science and technology, and talent objectively requires that we place education in a priority position, as the first move in advancing the three in a coordinated manner, making forward-looking plans and laying out arrangements in advance.

教育、科技、人才各自承载的使命任务虽然有所不同，但三者具有相互伴生、相互赋能、相互促进的内在联系。习近平指出：“科技创新靠人才，人才培养靠教育。”教育的繁荣发展，不断培养和造就创新型人才，创新型人才催生科技创新，而科技创新的拓展深化又反过来作用于教育，重新塑造和构建教育生态。从教育科技人才相互作用的辩证机理看，教育具有先导性，是科技创新的坚实支撑、人才培养的基础性工程。统筹教育科技人才深度融合发展，客观上要求我们必须把教育摆在优先位置，作为三者统筹推进的先手棋，前瞻部署、提前布局。

First, build national strategic educational forces. The Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, focusing on the trends in world scientific and technological development and the trends in international talent competition, has clearly put forward the goal of strengthening national strategic scientific and technological forces and national strategic talent forces. China’s educational development has entered a critical period of transitioning from large to strong. The new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation not only provides infinite possibilities for China’s education to broaden its future development space, but also brings new challenges and tests to the high-quality development of China’s educational undertakings. We must dare to seize opportunities and be adept at taking the initiative, striving to build national strategic educational forces that match national strategic scientific and technological forces and national strategic talent forces, and strengthen the supporting and contributing role of education for science and technology and talent. National strategic educational forces mainly include high-level research universities, “Double First-Class” construction universities [14]14 “Double First-Class” refers to the Chinese government’s initiative to build a number of world-class universities and first-class disciplines, launched in 2015 as a successor to the earlier Project 211 and Project 985., and high-level educational institutions within the national education system that have a leading role, great development potential, and strong radiation-driven capabilities. They also include scientific and technological innovation entities represented by national laboratories, national research institutes, and innovative leading enterprises that are supported by national layout and have the function of education and talent cultivation. It is necessary to formulate a medium- and long-term development plan for national strategic educational forces, promote the cultivation of top-notch talent and scientific and technological innovation with coordinated and efficient national strategic educational forces, and strive to make China an important educational center with global influence.

第一，打造国家战略教育力量。以习近平同志为核心的党中央着眼世界科技发展大势和国际人才竞争趋势，明确提出了强化国家战略科技力量和国家战略人才力量的目标。我国教育发展已经进入由大到强的关键时期，新一轮科技革命和产业变革既给我国教育拓宽未来发展空间提供无限可能，同时又给我国教育事业高质量发展带来新挑战新考验。我们必须敢于抢抓机遇、善于主动作为，着力打造与国家战略科技力量、国家战略人才力量相匹配的国家战略教育力量，强化教育对科技和人才的支撑力、贡献力。国家战略教育力量，主要包括高水平研究型大学、“双一流”建设高校，以及国家教育体系中具有引领性、发展潜力大、辐射带动能力强的高层次教育机构，还包括由国家布局支持的、具有教育和培养人才职能的以国家实验室、国家科研院所、创新型领军企业等为代表的科技创新主体。要制定国家战略教育力量中长期发展规划，以协同高效的国家战略教育力量促进拔尖人才培养和科技创新，努力把我国打造为具有全球影响力的重要教育中心。

Second, cultivate new drivers for educational development. Deepening comprehensive reform in education is the necessary path to promoting high-quality development of education. Reform in the field of education should highlight the guiding function of education, focus on becoming a source of scientific and technological innovation and a main base for talent cultivation, and promote changes in educational concepts, systems, institutions, evaluation, and governance, using the strength of education to achieve the strength of talent and empower the strength of science and technology. First, focus on cultivating innovative awareness and innovative ability. Persist in running the concept of scientific and technological innovation and the awareness of innovation and entrepreneurship through the entire process of educational activities and talent cultivation, advocate an educational atmosphere of “everywhere is a place of creation, every day is a time of creation, and everyone is a creator,” use creative education to cultivate creative talent, and use creative talent to build an innovative country. Second, establish an effective mechanism for mutual support between talent cultivation and scientific and technological innovation. Focus on the frontiers of science and technology, optimize the educational structure and talent cultivation structure that are compatible with scientific and technological innovation, establish a mechanism for adjusting the setup of disciplines and specialties driven by scientific and technological development and national strategic needs, and enhance the pertinence of discipline and specialty settings. Strengthen the coordination of science and technology education and humanities education, and promote the integration of vocational and general education, the integration of industry and education, and the convergence of science, education, and industry. Third, optimize the spatial layout of education. Following the principle of key support and overall promotion, fully integrate existing educational resources, closely align with the construction of international scientific and technological innovation centers such as Beijing, Shanghai, and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, align with the construction of regional scientific and technological innovation centers, the construction of national high-level talent hubs and platforms for attracting and gathering talent, support some educationally advantaged regions in building regional educational centers, and form a spatial development pattern of education with distinctive features and mutual complementarity. Fourth, accelerate the construction of a high-quality education system. Persist in taking high-quality development as the lifeline of all types of education at all levels, and strive to build a basic public education service system that is high-quality and balanced. Consolidate the strategic foundation for comprehensively improving the quality of the people, continuously strengthen, optimize, expand, and improve basic education, promote the universal, inclusive, safe, and high-quality development of preschool education, promote the high-quality and balanced development of compulsory education and the integration of urban and rural areas, accelerate the diversified development of high school education, promote the inclusive development of special education, and accelerate the construction of a modern vocational education system. Promote the reform of universities by classification, support differentiated development and characteristic schooling according to the functional positioning of different universities, enhance the comprehensive strength of higher education, and accelerate the construction of world-class universities and advantageous disciplines with Chinese characteristics. Promote the digitalization of education, and empower the construction of a strong educational country with digital education.

第二，培育教育发展新动能。深化教育综合改革是推动教育高质量发展的必由之路。教育领域改革要突出教育的先导性功能，围绕成为科技创新策源地和人才培养主阵地，推动教育理念、体系、制度、评价、治理等变革，以教育之强成就人才之强，赋能科技之强。一是注重培养创新意识和创新能力。坚持把科技创新理念、创新创业意识贯穿教育活动和人才培养全过程，倡导“处处是创造之地，天天是创造之时，人人是创造之人”的教育氛围，以创造之教育培养创造之人才，以创造之人才造就创新之国家。二是建立人才培养与科技创新相互支撑的有效机制。围绕科技前沿方向，优化同科技创新相适应的教育结构、人才培养结构，建立科技发展、国家战略需求牵引的学科专业设置调整机制，增强学科和专业设置的针对性。强化科技教育和人文教育协同，推进职普融通、产教融合、科教融汇。三是优化教育空间布局。按照重点扶持、整体推进的原则，充分整合现有教育资源，紧密对接北京、上海、粤港澳大湾区等国际科技创新中心建设，对接区域科技创新中心建设、国家高水平人才高地和吸引集聚人才平台建设，支持一些教育优势集中的地区建设区域性教育中心，形成各具特色、相得益彰的教育空间发展格局。四是加快建设高质量教育体系。坚持把高质量发展作为各级各类教育的生命线，着力构建优质均衡的基本公共教育服务体系。夯实全面提升国民素质战略基点，持续办强办优办大办好基础教育，促进学前教育普及普惠安全优质发展，推动义务教育优质均衡发展和城乡一体化，加快高中阶段学校多样化发展，推动特殊教育普惠发展，加快建设现代职业教育体系。分类推进高校改革，根据不同高校功能定位支持差异化发展、特色化办学，增强高等教育综合实力，加快建设中国特色、世界一流的大学和优势学科。推进教育数字化，以数字教育赋能教育强国建设。

(II) Taking science and technology as the driving force and traction for the deep integration and development of the three

（二）以科技为三者深度融合发展的驱动和牵引

Currently, the structural contradiction of mismatch between supply and demand in China’s educational development, talent cultivation, and scientific and technological innovation is relatively prominent, becoming an unavoidable difficulty and blockage in coordinating education, science and technology, and talent. It is necessary to follow Xi Jinping’s proposed work approach of “adhering to the traction of scientific and technological innovation needs,” take science and technology as the focal point and breakthrough point for solving the difficulties in coordinating the three, and promote the optimization, coordination, and efficient operation of education, science and technology, and talent.

当前，我国教育发展、人才培养与科技创新供需不匹配的结构性矛盾比较突出，成为统筹教育科技人才避不开、绕不过的难点、淤点。必须按照习近平提出的“坚持以科技创新需求为牵引”的工作思路，把科技作为解决好三者统筹难点的着力点和突破口，推动教育科技人才优化协同、高效运行。

First, firmly grasp the “bull’s nose” [15]15 “Bull’s nose” (牛鼻子) is a Chinese idiom meaning the key link or crucial point in a complex situation; grasping it allows one to control the whole. of scientific and technological innovation. Based on the frontiers of world scientific and technological development and from the overall perspective of China’s economic and social development, scientifically plan the undertakings of education, science and technology, and talent. At the current stage, take scientific and technological innovation as the “baton” and “traffic light,” take achieving high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-strengthening as the general guideline, and comprehensively promote the deep integration and development of education, science and technology, and talent. Specifically, according to the new trends in world scientific and technological development and targeting key core scientific and technological fields, optimize the setup of disciplines and specialties and build a high-quality education system, adjust the model of talent introduction, cultivation, and use, and cultivate innovative talent urgently needed by scientific and technological innovation and for long-term needs. At the practical work level, it is to use the direction of scientific and technological innovation to guide the direction of educational innovation and talent innovation development, fully leverage the driving and leading role of science and technology, promote the organic combination of laying out major scientific research tasks with developing high-quality education and cultivating innovative talent, and strive to achieve the deep integration and development of education, science and technology, and talent driven by scientific and technological innovation.

第一，抓紧抓牢科技创新这个“牛鼻子”。要立足世界科技发展前沿，站在我国经济社会发展全局，科学谋划教育科技人才事业。在现阶段，要以科技创新为“指挥棒”和“红绿灯”，以实现高水平科技自立自强为总纲，统筹推进教育科技人才深度融合发展。具体说来，就是根据世界科技发展新趋势、锚定关键核心科技领域，优化学科和专业设置、建设高质量教育体系，调整人才引进培养使用模式、培养科技创新急迫需要和长远需求的创新型人才。在实际工作层面，就是要以科技创新方向牵引教育创新、人才创新发展的方向，充分发挥科技的驱动引领作用，推动布局重大科研任务和发展高质量教育、培养创新型人才有机结合，努力实现以科技创新为牵引的教育科技人才深度融合发展。

Second, accelerate the achievement of a high level of scientific and technological self-reliance and self-strengthening. A high level of scientific and technological self-reliance and self-strengthening is of decisive significance for enhancing our country’s viability, developmental capacity, competitiveness, and sustainability. Xi Jinping points out: “To realize our goals of struggle, a high level of scientific and technological self-reliance and self-strengthening is the key.” A high level of scientific and technological self-reliance and self-strengthening is a strategic choice by the Party and the state to actively recognize, respond to, and seek change, and to act in accordance with the times and circumstances; it is an inevitable requirement for scientific and technological innovation in the new stage of development. First, build a systematic, institutionalized, and synergistic national strategic scientific and technological force. “In the competition among the world’s scientific and technological powers, what is contested is the national strategic scientific and technological force.” It is necessary to strengthen the construction of the national strategic scientific and technological force, improve the new type of nationwide system for mobilizing resources [16]16 “Spirit of driving the nail” (钉钉子精神) is a metaphor used by Xi Jinping to emphasize persistence, precision, and steady effort in implementing policies and tasks, likening the process to hammering a nail step by step until it is firmly in place., perfect the system of national laboratories, optimize the positioning and layout of national research institutions, high-level research universities, and leading scientific and technological enterprises, coordinate the spatial layout of regional innovation forces, accelerate the formation of a new pattern in which various innovation entities cooperate and synergize with each other, and enhance the overall effectiveness of the national innovation system. Second, deeply implement the innovation-driven development strategy, strengthen original and leading scientific and technological research, and resolutely win the battle for key core technologies. Raise the degree of organization in basic research, promote the high-quality development of basic research, and strive to produce more original results “from 0 to 1.” Third, “solidly promote the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation with industrial innovation, and assist in the development of new quality productive forces.” Increasing the supply of high-quality science and technology is the foundation for integration; it is necessary to increase the intensity of technological research and development in key areas and weak links of the construction of the modern industrial system, cultivate and develop emerging industries and future industries, and use new technologies to consolidate and enhance advantageous industries and transform and upgrade traditional industries. Strengthening the principal position of enterprises in scientific and technological innovation is the key to integration; it is necessary to cultivate and strengthen leading scientific and technological enterprises, accelerate the construction of innovation consortia led by backbone scientific and technological enterprises, supported by universities and research institutes, with participation from upstream and downstream enterprises, and deeply integrating “government, industry, academia, research, application, and finance.” Promoting the transformation and application of scientific and technological achievements is the pathway for integration; it is necessary to strengthen the construction of the national technology transfer system, purposefully enhance the efficiency of achievement transformation in universities, and explore new models for the integrated advancement of technology transfer, scientific research, and talent cultivation. Fourth, continuously deepen the reform of the scientific and technological system. Improve systems such as the evaluation of science and technology and the transformation and application of achievements, intensify efforts to deepen the reform of the mechanism for allocating and using fiscal science and technology funds, actively promote the reform of the empowerment of job-related scientific and technological achievements, and fully stimulate the vitality of innovation and creation. Fifth, comprehensively expand international scientific and technological exchanges and cooperation, maximize the use of global innovation resources, and enhance our country’s leading role and voice in global science and technology governance.

第二，加快实现高水平科技自立自强。高水平科技自立自强对于增强我国的生存力、发展力、竞争力和持续力具有决定性意义。习近平指出：“实现我们的奋斗目标，高水平科技自立自强是关键。”高水平科技自立自强是党和国家主动识变应变求变、因时因势而动的战略抉择，是对科技创新在新发展阶段提出的必然要求。一是打造体系化、建制化、协同化的国家战略科技力量。“世界科技强国竞争，比拼的是国家战略科技力量。”要加强国家战略科技力量建设，健全新型举国体制，完善国家实验室体系，优化国家科研机构、高水平研究型大学、科技领军企业定位和布局，统筹谋划区域创新力量空间布局，加快形成各类创新主体相互配合、协同创新的新格局，提高国家创新体系整体效能。二是深入实施创新驱动发展战略，加强原创性、引领性科技攻关，坚决打赢关键核心技术攻坚战。提高基础研究组织化程度，推动基础研究高质量发展，努力多出“从0到1”的原创性成果。三是“扎实推动科技创新和产业创新深度融合，助力发展新质生产力”。增加高质量科技供给是融合的基础，要加大现代化产业体系建设重点领域和薄弱环节的技术研发力度，培育发展新兴产业和未来产业，运用新技术巩固提升优势产业、改造升级传统产业。强化企业科技创新主体地位是融合的关键，要培育壮大科技型领军企业，加快构建科技型骨干企业牵头、高校院所支撑、上下游企业参与、“政产学研用金”深度融合的创新联合体。促进科技成果转化应用是融合的途径，要加强国家技术转移体系建设，有针对性地提升高校成果转化效能，探索技术转移、科学研究和人才培养一体推进的新模式。四是持续深化科技体制改革。健全科技评价、成果转化应用等制度，加大力度深化财政科技经费分配使用机制改革，积极推进职务科技成果赋权改革，充分激发创新创造活力。五是全方位扩大国际科技交流合作，最大限度用好全球创新资源，提升我国在全球科技治理中的引领力和话语权。

Second, focusing on the development needs of education, science and technology, and talent, deepen the reform of the system and mechanism for talent development. Currently, we are in a historical period of convergence between the new round of world scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation and our country’s accelerated construction of a new development pattern and efforts to promote high-quality development. The strategic competition for talent internationally is unprecedentedly fierce, and the tracks and competition in the talent field present new trends and characteristics. Deepening the reform of the system and mechanism for talent development is increasingly urgent. One, adhere to high-end leadership and strengthen the national strategic talent force. Xi Jinping points out: “Strategic talents

第二，着眼教育科技人才发展需求，深化人才发展体制机制改革。当前，我们正处于世界新一轮科技革命和产业变革同我国加快构建新发展格局、着力推动高质量发展的历史性交汇期，国际上围绕人才的战略博弈空前激烈，人才领域的赛道和竞争呈现新的态势和特征，深化人才发展体制机制改革越来越迫切。一是坚持高端引领，强化国家战略人才力量。习近平指出：“战略人才站在国际科技前沿、引领科技自主创新、承担国家战略科技任务，是支撑我国高水平科技自立自强的重要力量，要把建设战略人才力量作为重中之重来抓。”要完善人才战略布局，努力培养造就更多大师、战略科学家，打造一流科技领军人才和创新团队，造就规模宏大的青年人才队伍，培养大批卓越工程师、大国工匠、高技能人才。二是完善人才培养使用机制和人才发展治理体系。改进人才培养机制，把人才工作的基点建立在自己培养上，着力提高人才供给自主可控能力，打造有利于创新型人才大规模涌现的自主培养模式。完善人才使用机制，全方位用好用活人才，同步推进户籍、档案等服务改革，创新人才顺畅流动机制，特别是要注重打通高校、科研院所和企业人才交流通道，深化东中西部人才交流协作。坚持向用人主体授权、积极为人才松绑，深化科研经费和项目管理改革，优化整合人才计划，构建科学规范、开放包容、运行高效的人才发展治理体系。三是健全竞争激励机制和人才评价体系。完善“揭榜挂帅”“赛马”制度，实行目标导向的“军令状”制度，建立权责统一、激励和约束并重的管理机制。坚持“破四唯”“破五唯”和“立新标”相结合，科学设置人才评价指标和评价周期，加快构建以创新能力、质量、实效、贡献为导向的人才评价体系。深化人事薪酬制度改革，特别是要大力推动科研人员、高校教师、企业创新团队薪酬分配制度改革，健全劳动、知识、技术、管理、资本和数据等生产要素参与收入分配机制，建立分配形式灵活多样的薪酬制度，进一步调动各类创新主体的积极性、主动性、创造性。

On the new journey of the New Era, we must adhere to the guidance of Xi Jinping’s important discourse on coordinating education, science and technology, and talent, implement it with the spirit of driving the nail [16]16 “Spirit of driving the nail” (钉钉子精神) is a metaphor used by Xi Jinping to emphasize persistence, precision, and steady effort in implementing policies and tasks, likening the process to hammering a nail step by step until it is firmly in place., and strive to write a new chapter in building a strong nation in education, science and technology, and talent.
