The Fundamental Guidelines for School Ideological-Political Course Construction in the New Era

General Secretary Xi Jinping has issued important instructions on the construction of ideological-political courses in schools, emphasizing that “on the new journey of the New Era, the construction of ideological-political courses faces new situations and new tasks, and must achieve new momentum and new accomplishments.” General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important instructions provide the fundamental guidelines for the construction of school ideological-political courses in the New Era. We must deeply study and comprehend the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important instructions, continuously open up new prospects for ideological-political education in the New Era, and strive to cultivate more new-era individuals who are worthy of the Party’s trust, patriotic and dedicated, and capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility of national rejuvenation.

习近平总书记对学校思政课建设作出重要指示，强调“新时代新征程上，思政课建设面临新形势新任务，必须有新气象新作为”。习近平总书记的重要指示，为新时代学校思政课建设提供了根本遵循。我们要深入学习领会习近平总书记的重要指示精神，不断开创新时代思政教育新局面，努力培养更多让党放心、爱国奉献、担当民族复兴重任的时代新人。

I. Adhere to Being Guided by the Party’s Innovative Theories in the New Era

一、坚持以新时代党的创新理论为引领

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out in the report to the 20th National Congress of the CPC: “Arming the entire Party with the Party’s innovative theories is the fundamental task of the Party’s ideological construction.” [1] The construction of ideological-political courses in schools concerns how to solve the fundamental question of what kind of people to cultivate, how to cultivate them, and for whom to cultivate them. It must adhere to being guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, comprehensively implement the Party’s educational policy, and fulfill the fundamental task of fostering virtue through education. [2]

习近平总书记在党的二十大报告中指出：“用党的创新理论武装全党是党的思想建设的根本任务。”学校思政课建设关系到如何解决好培养什么人、怎样培养人、为谁培养人这个根本问题，必须坚持以习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想为指导，全面贯彻党的教育方针，落实立德树人根本任务。

Adhere to advancing the construction of ideological-political courses in tandem with arming the Party with its innovative theories. In ideological-political course classrooms at all levels and types, we must systematically and comprehensively teach the core essence, spiritual substance, rich connotations, and practical requirements of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and comprehensively and profoundly elucidate how the Party’s innovative theories in the New Era scientifically answer the questions posed by China, the world, the people, and the times. [3] Focus efforts on studying original works, reading original texts, and comprehending principles, with emphasis on teaching the core course “An Introduction to Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era.” In conjunction with the objectives and tasks of various ideological-political courses such as “Basic Principles of Marxism,” “An Introduction to Mao Zedong Thought and the Theoretical System of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics,” “An Outline of Modern Chinese History,” and “Ideological-Moral Cultivation and the Rule of Law,” comprehensively integrate the Party’s innovative theories into the ideological-political discipline system, and infuse the worldview and methodology of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era into the content and essence of each ideological-political course. Build the ideological-political classroom into an important bastion for studying, researching, and implementing the Party’s innovative theories; promptly and dynamically apply the latest achievements of the Party’s innovative theories to the classroom teaching content of ideological-political courses; deeply grasp the objectives, tasks, and basic requirements of advancing the construction of ideological-political courses in tandem with arming the Party with its innovative theories; improve the mechanisms and systems for this tandem advancement; innovate the methods and approaches for this tandem advancement; and continuously open up new realms for advancing the construction of ideological-political courses in tandem with arming the Party with its innovative theories.

坚持思政课建设与党的创新理论武装同步推进。要在各级各类思政课课堂全面系统地讲授习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想的核心要义、精神实质、丰富内涵和实践要求，全面深刻阐释新时代党的创新理论对中国之问、世界之问、人民之问、时代之问的科学回答。在读原著、学原文、悟原理上下功夫，重点讲授好《习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想概论》这门核心课程，结合《马克思主义基本原理》《毛泽东思想和中国特色社会主义理论体系概论》《中国近现代史纲要》《思想道德与法治》等思政课的各门课程目标任务，将党的创新理论全面融入思政学科体系中，将习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想的世界观和方法论贯通到思政课各门课程的内容要义中。将思政课堂建成学习研究贯彻党的创新理论的重要阵地，及时动态地将党的创新理论最新成果运用到思政课的课堂教学内容中，深刻把握思政课建设与党的创新理论武装同步推进的目标任务和基本要求，完善同步推进的机制体制，创新同步推进的方式方法，不断开创思政课建设与党的创新理论武装同步推进的新境界。

Construct a curriculum and textbook system with Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era as its core content. According to the specific requirements of ideological-political courses at all levels and types, systematically and precisely design the curriculum system. In line with the disciplinary and professional requirements of ideological-political courses and the specific realities of different educational stages, establish relatively stable compulsory courses, leverage interdisciplinary advantages, actively organize resources, and offer distinctive, high-level thematic elective courses. Ensure that the relevant curriculum system not only guarantees key points but also allows for mutual emphasis and interconnection, and can better adapt to and meet the needs of students at different levels and categories. Strengthen the construction of the ideological-political course curriculum and textbook system. On the one hand, compile good textbooks, strengthen the integrated construction of ideological-political course textbooks for universities, middle schools, and primary schools, advance the construction of key textbooks for the Marxist Theory Research and Construction Project in the New Era, comprehensively promote the integration of the latest achievements of the Party’s innovative theories in the New Era into courses and textbooks, accelerate the digital transformation of textbooks, and focus on enhancing the political nature, contemporaneity, scientific rigor, and readability of ideological-political course textbooks. On the other hand, study and use the course textbooks well. The National Textbook Committee has issued the “Guidelines for Integrating Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era into Courses and Textbooks” and compiled and published the textbook “An Introduction to Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era.” Schools at all levels and types must strengthen teacher training and collective lesson planning, deeply comprehend the intrinsic requirements of the nationally unified textbooks, ensure that teachers accurately use the unified textbooks in the classroom, and be able to flexibly and thoroughly apply the textbooks in light of actual conditions.

构建以习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想为核心内容的课程教材体系。根据各级各类思政课的具体要求，系统精准做好课程体系设计，按照思政课的学科专业要求和不同学段的具体实际，设置相对稳定的必修课程，发挥跨学科优势，积极组织力量，开设有特色高水平的专题选修课，做到相关课程体系既保证重点，又能相互侧重、相互衔接，更能适应和符合不同层次、不同类别学生的需求。加强思政课课程教材体系建设，一方面要编好教材，加强大中小学思政课教材一体化建设，推进新时代马克思主义理论研究和建设工程重点教材建设，全面推进新时代党的创新理论最新成果进课程进教材，加快推进教材数字化转型，注重提升思政课教材的政治性、时代性、科学性、可读性；另一方面要学好用好课程教材，国家教材委员会印发了《习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想进课程教材指南》，编写出版了《习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想概论》教材，各级各类学校要加强教师培训和集体备课，深刻领会国家统编教材的内在要求，保证教师在课堂上精准使用统编教材，并能结合实际融会贯通用活教材。

Deeply advance the integrated construction of ideological-political education in universities, middle schools, and primary schools. Treating the advancement of the integrated construction of ideological-political education in universities, middle schools, and primary schools as an important project to be grasped firmly and well requires further promoting the connotative development of ideological-political course construction. We must follow the cognitive laws of students and the laws of education and teaching, proceed from the actual growth of students, deeply grasp the laws of ideological-political education, continuously improve the mechanisms and systems for vertical articulation and horizontal integration in educating people, adhere to the system of collective lesson planning and collective seminars for universities, middle schools, and primary schools, make good use of the “Student Reader on

深入推进大中小学思想政治教育一体化建设。把推进大中小学思想政治教育一体化建设作为一项重要工程抓紧抓好，就要进一步推动思政课建设内涵式发展。要遵循学生认知规律和教育教学规律，从学生成长实际出发，深刻把握思想政治教育规律，不断完善纵向衔接和横向贯通育人的机制体制，坚持大中小学集体备课、集体研讨制度，用好面对大中小学的《习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想学生读本》，不断扩大优质课程资源供给，坚持资源互相开放、彼此共享，共建校外思想政治教育实践基地，共同营造时时讲思政、处处讲思政的氛围和环境。加强和优化师资队伍建设，提高教师专业素质，培育更多熟悉精通人才成长规律、能够在把握大中小学思想政治教育一体化目标要求中完成本职工作的“通才”型教师。

II. Comprehensively Grasping and Systematically Elaborating the Content System of Ideological and Political Course Construction in the New Era

二、全面把握和系统阐释新时代思政课建设的内容体系

Upholding the guiding position of Marxism. The report of the 20th National Congress of the CPC points out: "Why the Communist Party of China can succeed and why socialism with Chinese characteristics can work is, in the final analysis, because Marxism works, and because Marxism adapted to the Chinese context and the needs of the times works." Marxism reveals the general laws of the development of human society and provides a scientific guide and value orientation for people to understand and transform the world. Ideological and political courses are courses with a strong political character. We must base ourselves on the practice of the times, adhere to the Two Integrations, constantly consolidate the guiding position of Marxism in the ideological field, use the latest achievements of adapting Marxism to the Chinese context and the needs of the times to guide and lead the construction of the Marxist discipline, continuously strengthen and build up the Marxist discipline, and provide ideological and theoretical resource supply for the construction of ideological and political courses. Teachers of ideological and political courses should be models for studying and practicing Marxism, regard learning and applying the Marxist worldview and methodology as their essential skill, consciously arm their minds with Xi

坚持马克思主义指导地位。党的二十大报告指出：中国共产党为什么能，中国特色社会主义为什么好，归根到底是马克思主义行，是中国化时代化的马克思主义行。马克思主义揭示了人类社会发展的一般规律，为人们认识世界、改造世界提供了科学指南和价值引领。思政课是一门政治性强的课程，我们要立足时代实践，坚持“两个结合”，不断巩固马克思主义在意识形态领域的指导地位，用马克思主义中国化时代化的最新成果指导、引领马克思主义学科建设，不断建强马克思主义学科，为思政课建设提供思想性、理论性资源供给。思政课教师要做学习和实践马克思主义的典范，将学习运用马克思主义的世界观和方法论作为自己的看家本领，自觉用习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想武装头脑，指导启发学生运用马克思主义立场、观点、方法分析问题、解决问题。

Strengthening the content support of practical achievements. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that the construction of ideological and political courses must "take the world-renowned achievements of socialism with Chinese characteristics as content support." Great practical achievements are the best ideological and political teaching materials. Our ideological and political course teaching must focus on the new achievements and new results attained by socialism with Chinese characteristics in the New Era, enriching the content of ideological and political courses with detailed data, vivid cases, and rich scenarios. In recent years, many localities and schools have actively used the new achievements of socialism with Chinese characteristics as support for teaching content. Through comparison and contrast between theory and practice, they continuously strengthen students' conviction in taking the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

强化实践成就的内容支撑。习近平总书记指出，思政课建设要“以中国特色社会主义取得的举世瞩目成就为内容支撑”。伟大的实践成就是最好的思政教材，我们的思政课教学要聚焦新时代中国特色社会主义所取得的新成就、新成果，用翔实的数据、鲜活的案例、丰富的场景来充实思政课的内容。近年来，许多地方和学校都在积极运用中国特色社会主义的新成就作为教学内容的支撑，通过理论与实践的对照对比，不断强化学生走中国特色社会主义道路的信念。

Consolidating the cultural foundation. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that the construction of ideological and political courses must "take fine traditional Chinese culture, revolutionary culture, and advanced socialist culture as the foundation of strength." We must persist in using fine traditional Chinese culture to enrich the foundation of ideological and political courses, using revolutionary culture to cultivate the red background of ideological and political courses, and using advanced socialist culture to stimulate the vitality of ideological and political courses. In the construction of ideological and political courses, we must vigorously promote the creative transformation and innovative development of fine traditional Chinese culture, so that fine traditional Chinese culture advances in step with youthful struggle; further reveal the formation process and contemporary value of revolutionary culture, continuously inspiring young people's ideals, convictions, and youthful fighting spirit; persist in integrating advanced socialist culture into the entire process of talent cultivation, using core socialist values to nurture the growth and success of young people, constantly igniting their positive youthful passion and vitality. Through activities such as reciting classics, touching history, and paying tribute to heroes, we must strive to create a batch of outstanding works such as "Red Homelands," "Ink and Wash Campuses," and "Intangible Cultural Heritage Academies," build a system for cultivating people through physical education, aesthetic education, and labor education, give full play to the role of educating people through culture and literature, and enable students to feel the cultural value and charm of ideological and political courses through experience and participation, further strengthening their cultural confidence.

筑牢文化根基。习近平总书记指出，思政课建设要“以中华优秀传统文化、革命文化和社会主义先进文化为力量根基”。要坚持以中华优秀传统文化厚植思政课底蕴、以革命文化培育思政课红色底色、以社会主义先进文化激发思政课活力。在思政课建设中，要大力推进中华优秀传统文化创造性转化、创新性发展，让中华优秀传统文化与青春奋斗砥砺同行；进一步揭示革命文化的形成过程和当代价值，不断激发青少年理想信念和青春斗志；坚持将社会主义先进文化融入人才培养的全过程，用社会主义核心价值观涵养青少年成长成才，不断点燃青少年积极向上的青春激情和活力。要通过诵读经典、触摸历史、礼敬英雄等活动，着力打造一批“红色家园”“水墨校园”及“非遗学园”优秀作品，构建体育、美育、劳动育人体系，充分发挥以文化人、以文育人作用，让学生在体验参与中感受思政课的文化价值魅力，进一步坚定文化自信。

III. Upholding fundamental principles and breaking new ground to promote the connotative development of ideological and political course construction

三、守正创新推动思政课建设内涵式发展

General Secretary Xi Jinping demands that we “uphold fundamental principles and break new ground to promote the connotative development of ideological-political course construction, and continuously enhance the targeted nature and appeal of ideological-political courses.” This important directive points the way forward for upholding fundamental principles and breaking new ground in ideological-political courses in the New Era.

习近平总书记要求，“守正创新推动思政课建设内涵式发展，不断提高思政课的针对性和吸引力”。这一重要指示，为新时代思政课的守正创新一步指明了方向。

Ideological-political course construction in the New Era must uphold fundamental principles. Upholding fundamental principles means upholding the fundamental system of Marxism’s guiding position in the realm of ideology, upholding the fundamental requirements of the Two Integrations, and upholding the Chinese Communist Party’s cultural leadership and the Chinese nation’s cultural subjectivity. Ideological-political course construction in the New Era is precisely about implementing the fundamental task of fostering virtue and nurturing people, educating students with scientific theory, guiding students with the power of truth, using the Marxist worldview and methodology to analyze the harms of erroneous trends such as historical nihilism and neoliberalism, taking a clear stand in struggle against erroneous trends and erroneous viewpoints, and always ensuring that young students maintain political sobriety on major issues of principle, and that on the path of growth they have a clear direction, maintain resolve, and do not go off course.

新时代思政课建设必须守正。守正，守的是马克思主义在意识形态领域指导地位的根本制度，守的是“两个结合”的根本要求，守的是中国共产党的文化领导权和中华民族的文化主体性。新时代思政课建设就是要落实立德树人的根本任务，以科学的理论教育学生，用真理的力量引导学生，运用马克思主义世界观和方法论分析历史虚无主义、新自由主义等错误思潮的危害，旗帜鲜明地与错误思潮、错误观点作斗争，始终让青年学生在大是大非面前保持政治清醒，在成长的道路上明确方向保持定力不偏航。

Continuously promote reform and innovation in ideological-political courses. General Secretary Xi Jinping points out that ideological-political course construction must seek vitality from reform and innovation. In ideological-political course construction, attention must be paid to bringing into play the dual roles of teacher leadership and student subjectivity. On the one hand, teachers’ leading role in goal setting, content integration, method innovation, and evaluation implementation within reform and innovation must be brought into play. On the other hand, educational and teaching methods must be continuously innovated to fully stimulate students’ initiative and creativity, adhere to a student-centered approach, respect and encourage young students’ innovative spirit, regard young students as important members of the teaching community for ideological-political course reform and innovation, and adopt methods such as having young students tell ideological-political stories and produce micro-videos and micro-films on ideological-political courses to mobilize and bring into play students’ subjective creativity, truly enabling the broad student body to engage in deep thinking and active inquiry in the ideological-political classroom without disengaging. In the process of ideological-political course reform and innovation, we must adhere to the unity of political and academic rigor, the unity of value and knowledge, the unity of constructive and critical approaches, the unity of theory and practice, the unity of uniformity and diversity, the unity of leadership and subjectivity, the unity of inculcation and inspiration, and the unity of explicit and implicit education.

不断推动思政课改革创新。习近平总书记指出，思政课建设要向改革创新要活力。思政课建设要注意发挥教师主导性和学生主体性作用，一方面要发挥教师在改革创新中的目标设定、内容整合、方法创新、评价落实等方面的主导作用，另一方面要不断创新教育教学方式，充分发挥学生的积极性和创造性，坚持以学生为中心，尊重和鼓励青年学生的创新精神，将青年学生视为思政课改革创新教学共同体中重要的一员，采取青年学生讲思政故事、做思政课微视频微电影等方式调动和发挥学生的主体创造性，真正使广大同学在思政课堂上深度思考和积极探究不离场。在思政课改革创新过程中，要坚持做到政治性和学理性相统一、价值性和知识性相统一、建设性和批判相统一、理论性和实践性相统一、统一性和多样性相统一、主导性和主体性相统一、灌输性和启发性相统一、显性教育和隐性教育相统一。

Explain principles deeply, thoroughly, and vividly. General Secretary Xi Jinping points out that the essence of ideological-political courses is to explain principles, and attention must be paid to methods and approaches to explain principles deeply, thoroughly, and vividly. “Explaining deeply” means profoundly grasping the ideological and theoretical connotations contained in ideological-political courses, seeing the essence through phenomena, and guiding students not only to know what is the case but also to understand why it is so when recognizing and analyzing problems. “Explaining thoroughly” requires that when explaining the principles of ideological-political courses, we focus on issues of common concern to young students, proceed from the dialectical relationships of cause and effect, necessity and contingency, universality and particularity, be adept at using domestic and international facts, cases, and materials for comparative analysis, and use a comprehensive and dialectical perspective to explain thoroughly and completely the historical necessity of building a great modern socialist country and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, thereby truly responding to students’ concerns and helping students resolve doubts and confusion. “Explaining vividly” means proceeding from the changing social reality, embedding the principles of ideological-political courses into the three-dimensional restoration of historical scenes, the depiction of the life struggles of advanced figures, and the revelation of the full picture and details of major achievements, using people and events close to young students as vivid cases, and through small entry points and rich implications, continuously telling Chinese stories, world stories, people’s stories, and stories of the times that are elevated, forceful, and warm.

讲深讲透讲活道理。习近平总书记指出，思政课的本质是讲道理，要注重方式方法，把道理讲深、讲透、讲活。“讲深”意味着要深刻把握思政课所蕴含的思想内涵和理论内涵，透过现象看本质，引导学生认识和分析问题时不仅知其然、还能知其所以然。“讲透”要求我们在讲思政课道理时聚焦青年学生普遍关注的问题，从事物原因和结果、必然与偶然、共性与个性的辩证关系入手，善于运用国内外的事实、案例、素材并作比较分析，用全面辩证的视角将建设社会主义现代化强国、实现中华民族伟大复兴的历史必然性讲透彻、讲彻底，从而真正回应学生的关切，帮助学生释疑解惑。“讲活”就是指要从变化着的社会实际出发，将思政课道理嵌入历史场景的立体还原、先进人物人生奋斗的历程描绘、重大成就的全貌和细节揭示中，以发生在青年学生身边的人和事为鲜活案例，通过小切口、大意蕴，不断讲出有高度、有力度、有温度的中国故事、世界故事、人民故事、时代故事。

IV. Strengthen the Construction of the Ideological-Political Course Teacher Team

四、加强思政课教师队伍建设

General Secretary Xi Jinping points out that “the key to running ideological-political theory courses well lies in the teachers,” and puts forward the overall requirements for ideological-political course teachers to be “strong in politics, deep in sentiment, new in thinking, broad in vision, strict in self-discipline, and upright in character.”

习近平总书记指出，“办好思想政治理论课关键在教师”，对思政课教师提出了“政治要强、情怀要深、思维要新、视野要广、自律要严、人格要正”的总体要求。

Deeply comprehend the overall requirements. Political strength and deep sentiment must be taken as the directional guide for enhancing the quality of ideological-political course teachers, letting those with faith speak about faith, continuously educating and guiding ideological-political course teachers to strengthen their faith in Marxism, their belief in socialism with Chinese characteristics, and their confidence in realizing the Chinese Dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and to invest this faith, belief, and confidence into the educational practice of fostering virtue and nurturing people, influencing and inspiring students with genuine heart and true feelings, making ideological-political courses courses with warmth. New thinking and broad vision must be taken as the key to enhancing the quality of ideological-political course teachers, educating and guiding ideological-political course teachers to be adept at using innovative thinking and dialectical thinking to help students recognize and analyze social development issues, to master knowledge from the philosophical, social, and natural sciences, to analyze the development trends of contemporary China and the world with a broad perspective, and truly explain the principles of ideological-political courses clearly and understandably. Strict self-discipline and upright character must be taken as the binding requirements for enhancing the quality of ideological-political course teachers. Ideological-political courses must not only educate and guide students from the perspective of thought and theory but also influence and inspire students through actions in every detail. Only when teachers match their words with deeds, set an example, and establish a self-disciplined personality of pursuing truth and caring for students can they guide the broad masses of young students to truly set life goals for striving forward.

深刻领会总体要求。要将政治强、情怀深作为提升思政课教师素养的方向统领，让有信仰的人讲信仰，不断教育和引导思政课教师坚定对马克思主义的信仰、对中国特色社会主义的信念、对实现中华民族伟大复兴中国梦的信心，并且将这种信仰信念信心投入立德树人的教育实践中，用真心、真情去影响和感染学生，使思政课成为一门有温度的课。将思维新、视野广作为提升思政课教师素养的关键，要教育和引导思政课教师善于运用创新思想、辩证思维帮助学生认识和分析社会发展问题，通过驾驭哲学社会科学和自然科学各门知识、以宽广视野分析当代中国和世界的发展走向，真正将思政课的道理讲清楚讲明白。要将自律严、人格正作为提升思政课教师素养的约束要求，思政课不仅要从思想理论上教育引导学生，还要从一点一滴的行动中影响和启发学生，只有教师言行一致、率先垂范，确立起追求真理、关爱学生的自律人格，才能引导广大青年学生真正树立起人生奋进的目标。

Build a complete and strong ideological-political course teacher team. Ideological-political courses have very high requirements for teachers’ comprehensive qualities. Teacher team construction must be strengthened with high standards, creating a team that is primarily full-time, supplemented by part-time, sufficient in number, and excellent in quality. Through teacher ethics education, academic style construction, professional skills training, and social practice activities, teachers’ ideological-political quality and professional quality must be comprehensively enhanced, combining cultivation and incentives, fully implementing various policy guarantees, and continuously mobilizing teachers’ initiative, activity, and creativity.

配齐建强思政课教师队伍。思政课对教师综合素养要求很高，要以高标准加强教师队伍建设，打造一支专职为主、专兼结合、数量充足、素质优良的教师队伍。要通过师德教育、学风建设、业务技能培训、社会实践活动等，全面提升教师的思想政治素质和业务素质，做到培养和激励相结合，全面落实各项政策保障，不断调动教师积极性、主动性、创造性。

Reform the evaluation mechanism. The primary responsibility of ideological-political course teachers is to foster virtue and nurture people, cultivating more socialist builders and successors who are well-developed morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically, and labor-wise for the country. This is the most important weight in evaluating ideological-political course teachers. The evaluation mechanism for ideological-political course teachers must be reformed, determining evaluation content and standards around teachers’ participation in frontline teaching and teaching research, and around how teachers effectively resolve students’ ideological and life difficulties, truly liberating ideological-political course teachers from the drawbacks of being fixated solely on diplomas, papers, and titles.

改革评价机制。思政课教师的主要职责是立德树人，为国家培养更多德智体美劳全面发展的社会主义建设者和接班人。这是评价思政课教师最重要的权重。要改革思政课教师的评价机制，围绕教师在一线参与教学和教学研究、围绕教师如何切实解决学生的思想和生活困惑来确定评价内容和标准，真正将思政课教师从唯文凭、唯论文、唯帽子的弊端中解放出来。

V. Strengthen the Party’s Leadership over Ideological-Political Course Construction

五、加强党对思政课建设的领导

The Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core attaches great importance to ideological-political course construction. General Secretary Xi Jinping personally deploys and personally guides, emphasizing the

以习近平同志为核心的党中央高度重视思政课建设，习近平总书记亲自部署、亲自指导，强调要加强党对思政课建设的领导，努力培养更多让党放心、爱国奉献、担当民族复兴重任的时代新人。

Party committees (Party leadership groups) at all levels must place the construction of ideological-political courses on their important agendas. Party committees (Party leadership groups) at all levels must regularly study and deploy major issues concerning the construction of school ideological-political courses, adhere to a problem-oriented approach, conduct in-depth investigation and research, identify the prominent problems that constrain the construction of ideological-political courses, and coordinate various forces to resolve them in a timely manner. Uphold and improve the work pattern of unified leadership by the Party committee, joint management by the Party and government, individual responsibility by relevant departments, and coordinated cooperation across the whole society, widely fostering and pooling a favorable atmosphere and joint action to strengthen the construction of ideological-political courses.

各级党委（党组）要把思政课建设摆上重要议程。各级党委（党组）要定期研究部署学校思政课建设的重大问题，坚持问题导向，深入调查研究，抓住制约思政课建设的突出问题，统筹各种力量及时加以解决。坚持和完善党委统一领导、党政齐抓共管、有关部门各负其责、全社会协同配合的工作格局，广泛营造和汇聚起加强思政课建设的良好氛围和行动合力。

Schools at all levels and of all types must consciously assume their primary responsibilities. School Party organizations must strengthen leadership over the construction of ideological-political courses, implement Party leadership in practice, and continuously strengthen Party leadership in every link, including raising awareness of the importance of ideological-political course construction, curriculum arrangements for ideological-political course construction, team building, innovating educational methods and approaches, reforming evaluation mechanisms, and implementing guarantee systems. The Party organization secretaries and principals of schools must ensure that they have a fixed amount of time each semester to teach ideological-political courses to students, combining the Party's educational policies with the school's governance practices to teach ideological-political courses well, and setting an example for enriching and expanding the content and methods of ideological-political course construction. School leaders at all levels must support and empower the construction of ideological-political courses through various means, making good use of ceremonial activities such as opening ceremonies, graduation ceremonies, and major commendations, actively disseminating the scientific theory of Marxism, promoting the core socialist values, and continuously strengthening the ideological-political education and guidance of students.

各级各类学校要自觉担起主体责任。学校党组织要加强对思政课建设的领导，将党的领导落到实处，在提升思政课建设重要性认识、思政课建设课程安排、队伍建设、创新教育方式方法、改革评价机制、落实保障制度等各个环节不断强化党的领导。学校的党组织书记、校长要保证每学期都有固定时间给学生上思政课，结合党的教育方针和学校的治理实践讲好思政课，为丰富和拓展思政课建设的内容和方法作表率。学校的各级领导要以多种方式为思政课建设助力赋能，用好开学典礼、毕业典礼、重大表彰等仪式活动，积极传播马克思主义科学理论，弘扬社会主义核心价值观，不断强化对学生的思想政治教育和引导。
