The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the CPC proposed deepening comprehensive reform of education, “improving the mechanism for fostering virtue and nurturing people, and advancing the integrated reform and innovation of ideological and political courses in schools at all levels from primary school through university.” [1]1 A remark by Xi Jinping, emphasizing the requirement for ideological and political course teachers to possess firm political beliefs themselves. The construction of ideological and political courses, as a political, strategic, and foundational undertaking in education, is the top priority of the Party’s leadership over educational work. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has consistently placed the construction of ideological and political courses in schools in an important position within educational work, comprehensively strengthened the Party’s leadership over the construction of ideological and political courses, brought about an overall and fundamental transformation in the development environment and overall ecology of ideological and political courses, and propelled the reform and innovation of ideological and political courses into a new stage of development. On the new journey of the New Era, it is necessary to further uphold and strengthen the Party’s political leadership, ideological leadership, and organizational leadership over the reform and innovation of ideological and political courses, empowering these courses to achieve high-quality development in the great practice of further comprehensively deepening reform and advancing Chinese-path modernization.

党的二十届三中全会提出要深化教育综合改革,“完善立德树人机制,推进大中小学思政课一体化改革创新”。思政课建设作为教育事业的政治性、战略性、基础性建设,是党领导教育工作的重中之重。党的十八大以来,以习近平同志为核心的党中央坚持把学校思政课建设放在教育工作的重要位置,全面加强党对思政课建设的领导,思政课发展环境和整体生态发生全局性、根本性转变,思政课改革创新进入一个新的发展阶段。新时代新征程上,要进一步坚持和加强党对思政课改革创新的政治领导、思想领导、组织领导,赋能思政课在进一步全面深化改革、推进中国式现代化的伟大实践中实现高质量发展。

I. Uphold and Strengthen the Party’s Political Leadership to Ensure the Correct Direction of Reform and Innovation in Ideological and Political Courses

一、坚持和加强党的政治领导,确保思政课改革创新正确方向

Upholding and strengthening the Party’s political leadership is the fundamental experience and greatest advantage in running ideological and political courses well. Practice has fully proven that only by firmly grasping the Party’s leadership over educational work and strengthening the Party’s ideological and political leadership over the construction of ideological and political courses can the correct political direction of school ideological and political course construction be ensured, can schools cultivate people with scientific theory and guide them with correct thought, and can they train well-rounded socialist builders and successors who are developed morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically, and labor-wise. To deepen the reform and innovation of ideological and political courses on the new journey, it is necessary to strengthen the Party’s political leadership over ideological and political work in universities, firmly grasp the Party’s dominant role and initiative in the construction of ideological and political courses, and realize the Party’s leading development in the reform and innovation of ideological and political courses.

坚持和加强党的政治领导是办好思政课的根本经验和最大优势。实践充分证明,只有牢牢掌握党对教育工作的领导权,加强党对思政课建设的思想政治领导,才能确保学校思政课建设的正确政治方向,确保学校用科学理论培养人、用正确思想引导人,培养好德智体美劳全面发展的社会主义建设者和接班人。新征程上深化思政课改革创新,必须强化党对高校思想政治工作的政治领导,牢牢掌握党对思政课建设的主导权和主动权,实现党对思政课改革创新的引领性发展。

Correctly grasp the political direction of running schools. “What kind of people to cultivate, how to cultivate them, and for whom to cultivate them” is a fundamental and directional question in educational work; whether this question can be answered well determines the rise and fall of the Party and the state’s cause. General

把准办学正确政治方向。“培养什么人、怎样培养人、为谁培养人”是教育工作的根本性、方向性问题,能否回答好这一问题,决定着党和国家事业的兴衰成败。习近平总书记强调,“古今中外,每个国家都是按照自己的政治要求来培养人的”。中国共产党是全心全意为人民服务的马克思主义政党,肩负着实现中华民族伟大复兴的历史使命。不管面临何种不同的形势和任务,党的教育方针始终坚持社会主义的办学方向,始终坚持为人民服务的根本立场,始终坚守为党育人、为国育才的初心和使命。习近平总书记在学校思想政治理论课教师座谈会上明确指出,新时代贯彻党的教育方针,“要坚持马克思主义指导地位,贯彻新时代中国特色社会主义思想,坚持社会主义办学方向,落实立德树人的根本任务,坚持教育为人民服务、为中国共产党治国理政服务、为巩固和发展中国特色社会主义制度服务、为改革开放和社会主义现代化建设服务”。思政课作为党领导教育工作的重中之重,是落实立德树人根本任务的关键课程,具有鲜明的政治性,直接关系到培养社会主义建设者和接班人这一教育工作的根本任务。在新的历史起点上,必须进一步发挥党在思政课改革创新中的领导核心作用,坚持以习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想铸魂育人,以坚定的政治清醒和政治自觉全面贯彻党的教育方针,使思政课成为服务强国建设、民族复兴伟业,培养社会主义建设者和接班人“不可替代”的课程。

Consolidating the political identity of faculty and students. Political identity is a crucial factor in the stable development of a country, possessing fundamental and directional significance. At present, the domestic and international situation is complex and volatile, the tasks of reform, development, and stability are arduous, and consolidating ideological consensus to effectively enhance the validity and efficacy of political identity among university faculty and students is an important component of the Party’s leadership over the reform and innovation of ideological and political courses on the new journey of the New Era. The key to running ideological and political courses well lies in the teachers; teachers of these courses must continuously strengthen their political identity and effectively transmit and guide this political identity to the objects of education. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, General Secretary Xi Jinping has established “political strength must be paramount” as the primary requirement for teachers of ideological and political courses, emphasizing that “those with faith should be allowed to speak about faith,” [1]1 A remark by Xi Jinping, emphasizing the requirement for ideological and political course teachers to possess firm political beliefs themselves. thereby pointing the direction for enhancing the validity of political identity among these teachers. On the new journey, it is necessary to further deepen the Party’s leadership over the teacher workforce, guiding teachers of ideological and political courses to firm up the original aspiration and steadfastness of political identity. Youth are the vanguard force in the development of the Party and the nation’s cause; it is essential to guide young students to deeply study the Party’s innovative theories, comprehend the great achievements of national development, inspire youth to bravely undertake the mission of the times in the practice of Chinese-path modernization, and become a new generation capable of shouldering the heavy task of national rejuvenation, possessing high political awareness and a sense of social responsibility.

凝聚师生的政治认同。政治认同是一个国家稳定发展的重要因素,具有根本性和方向性意义。当前,国内国际形势纷繁复杂,改革发展稳定任务艰巨,凝聚思想共识,有效提升高校师生政治认同的效度和效能,是新时代新征程上党领导思政课改革创新的重要内容。办好思政课关键在教师,思政课教师必须不断强化政治认同,并将这种政治认同有效传递、引导于教育对象。党的十八大以来,习近平总书记将“政治要强”确立为思政课教师的首位要求,强调“要让有信仰的人讲信仰”,为增进思政课教师政治认同的效度指明了方向。新征程上,必须进一步深化党对教师工作队伍的领导,引导思政课教师坚定政治认同的初心与定力。青年是党和国家事业发展的先锋力量,必须引导青年学生深入学习党的创新理论,感悟国家发展伟大成就,激励青年在中国式现代化实践中勇担时代使命,成为具备高度政治觉悟、社会责任感、担当民族复兴重任的时代新人。

Providing strong political guarantees. Upholding and strengthening the Party’s overall leadership over the reform and innovation of ideological and political courses requires emphasizing the role of the Party’s political guarantees. Continuously improving the various institutional guarantee systems for ideological and political courses is the focal point and important guarantee for promoting the high-quality development of these courses. At present, an institutional framework covering many areas such as the textbook system, curriculum system, teaching system, teacher workforce, and support system for the construction of ideological and political courses has been established, and the institutional system for these courses is becoming increasingly complete. Standing at a new starting point, it is necessary to further strengthen the Party organization’s overall planning for the institutional construction of ideological and political courses, improve the supervision mechanism for the implementation and execution of institutions, and effectively transform the institutional advantages of ideological and political courses into governance effectiveness. The Party’s political leadership must run through the entire process of reform and innovation of ideological and political courses, continuously strengthening Party leadership in all links, including raising awareness of the importance of constructing ideological and political courses, constructing the curriculum system, innovating educational and teaching methods, reforming the teaching evaluation mechanism, and implementing the guarantee system, so as to escort the high-quality development of ideological and political courses. The construction of ideological and political courses is a complex and arduous strategic and systematic project; it is necessary to give full play to the role of the Party organization as the primary responsible person and strong guarantee, continuously remove various institutional and mechanism obstacles restricting the high-quality development of ideological and political courses, do a good job in guidance, coordination, collaboration, and connection, activate the internal driving force for the high-quality development of ideological and political courses, and comprehensively improve the quality and level of their construction.

提供坚强的政治保障。坚持和加强党对思政课改革创新的全面领导,要重视发挥党的政治保障作用。不断完善思政课各项制度保障体系,是推进思政课高质量发展的着力点和重要保障。当前,涵盖思政课建设的教材体系、课程体系、教学体系、教师队伍、支持体系等诸多领域的制度格局已经建立起来,思政课制度体系日趋完善。站在新的起点上,必须进一步强化党组织对思政课制度建设的统筹谋划,完善制度执行落实监督机制,切实把思政课制度优势转化为治理效能。党的政治引领必须贯穿于思政课改革创新的全过程,在提升思政课建设重要性认识、思政课课程体系建设、教育教学方法创新、教学评价机制改革、落实保障制度等各个环节不断强化党的领导,为思政课高质量发展保驾护航。思政课建设是一项复杂且艰巨的战略工程和系统工程,必须发挥党组织的第一责任人和坚强保障作用,不断破除制约思政课高质量发展的各项体制机制障碍,做好引导、配合、协同、衔接工作,激活思政课高质量发展的内在动力,全面提高思政课建设的质量和水平。

II. Uphold and Strengthen the Party’s Ideological Leadership, Promote the Connotative Development of Ideological and Political Course Construction

二、坚持和加强党的思想领导,推动思政课建设内涵式发展

The most fundamental aspect of upholding and strengthening the Party’s ideological leadership over the construction of ideological and political courses is to carry out education in Marxist theory, use Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era to forge souls and educate people, firmly advance the cultivation of virtue and nurturing of people [2]2 A core concept in Chinese education policy, referring to the fundamental task of fostering virtue and nurturing talent, often translated as “fostering virtue and nurturing people” or “moral education and talent cultivation.” from a resolute political standpoint, and assist the construction of ideological and political courses in demonstrating new trends and new achievements in the powerful practice of advancing Chinese-path modernization.

坚持和加强党对思政课建设的思想领导,最根本的是开展马克思主义理论教育,用习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想铸魂育人,以坚定的政治立场扎实推进立德树人,助力思政课建设在推进中国式现代化的强国实践中展现新气象新作为。

Solidly advance the fundamental task of cultivating virtue and nurturing people. The foundation of educating people lies in virtue. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: “Ideological and political courses are the key courses for implementing the fundamental task of cultivating virtue and nurturing people; the role of ideological and political courses is irreplaceable, and the responsibility of the teacher team for ideological and political courses is significant.” [3]3 A direct quote from Xi Jinping’s speech at a symposium for teachers of ideological and political courses in schools, held on March 18, 2019. This important assertion highlights the political attributes and special status of ideological and political courses, clarifies the fundamental task of the connotative development of ideological and political course construction in the New Era, and provides scientific guidance and powerful impetus for the reform and innovation of ideological and political courses in the New Era. Based on a new starting point, to solidly advance the fundamental task of cultivating virtue and nurturing people, in the final analysis, it is necessary to hold high the banner and confidently and justifiably run ideological and political courses well, effectively implement Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era into ideological and political work with a scientific standpoint, viewpoint, and method, and strive to cultivate more new generations who can reassure the Party, love and contribute to the country, and shoulder the heavy task of national rejuvenation. Facing the new issues of the times, the key to implementing the fundamental task of cultivating virtue and nurturing people in detail is to lead the work of cultivating virtue and nurturing people in universities with high-quality Party building, and actively promote the deep integration of Party building work in universities with the fundamental task of cultivating virtue and nurturing people. Under the effective leadership of “integrated” Party building, it is necessary to integrate the cultivation of virtue and nurturing of people into all links of ideological and moral education, cultural knowledge education, and social practice education, continuously improve the educational institutional mechanism for all-staff, whole-process, and all-round education, and promote the construction of an educational pattern of “simultaneous development of five aspects of education” [4]4 A policy framework promoting balanced development across five educational dimensions: moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor education. — morality, intelligence, physique, aesthetics, and labor; help the vast number of students fasten the “first button” of life, [5]5 A metaphorical expression used by Xi Jinping, referring to the importance of establishing correct values and worldview early in life. educate and guide students to firm up their ideals and beliefs, supplement their spiritual calcium, [6]6 A metaphorical expression used by Xi Jinping, referring to the need for firm ideals and beliefs as a spiritual foundation, analogous to calcium for bones. and truly and consciously integrate patriotism, the aspiration to strengthen the country, and the action to serve the country into the great practice of comprehensively advancing the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation.

扎实推进立德树人根本任务。育人的根本在于立德。习近平总书记强调:“思政课是落实立德树人根本任务的关键课程,思政课作用不可替代,思政课教师队伍责任重大。”这一重要论断强调了思政课的政治属性与特殊地位,明确了新时代思政课建设内涵式发展的根本任务,为新时代思政课改革创新提供了科学指南和强大动力。立足新的起点,扎实推进立德树人根本任务,归根结底是要旗帜鲜明、理直气壮开好思政课,切实以科学立场观点方法把习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想贯彻到思想政治工作中,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。面对新的时代课题,把立德树人根本任务落细落实,关键是要以高质量党建引领高校立德树人工作,积极推动高校党建工作与立德树人根本任务深度融合。在“融合式”党建的有效引领下,要把立德树人融入思想道德、文化知识、社会实践教育各环节,持续完善全员、全过程、全方位育人的教育体制机制,推动构建德智体美劳“五育并举”育人格局;帮助广大学生扣好人生“第一粒扣子”,教育引导学生坚定理想信念、补足精神之钙,真正把爱国情、强国志、报国行自觉融入全面推进强国建设、民族复兴伟业的伟大实践之中。

Guided by the Party’s innovative theory in the New Era. Persisting in the synchronous advancement of ideological and political theory course construction and the arming of the Party’s innovative theory is an inevitable requirement for upholding and realizing the Party’s ideological leadership. Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, as the latest achievement of the Party’s theoretical innovation, not only provides rich theoretical resources for teaching ideological and political theory courses well but also lays a solid ideological foundation for promoting the connotative development of ideological and political theory course construction. It is necessary to take the “Three Entries” [7]7 The “Three Entries” (三进) refers to the requirement of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era as the main lever, and on the basis of offering and teaching the core course “Introduction to Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era” well, to fully construct the special lecture series on “Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era” and the “China Series” course group system. By coordinating high-quality resources and integrating concrete realities, taking the “Introduction to Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era” course group as the guide, and in accordance with the course objectives and tasks of ideological and political theory courses and the learning requirements of different educational stages, the Party’s latest innovative theoretical achievements should be promptly integrated into the teaching systems of other compulsory ideological and political theory courses, thereby comprehensively raising the level of ideological and political theory course construction. On this basis, it is necessary to realize the transformation of the Party’s innovative theoretical achievements into the textbook system of ideological and political theory courses, focus on compiling, studying, and using ideological and political theory course textbooks and their supplementary materials well, and promptly optimize the ideological and political theory course textbook system according to new developments in social practice.

以新时代党的创新理论为引领。坚持思政课建设与党的创新理论武装同步推进,是坚持党的思想领导、实现党的思想领导的必然要求。习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想作为党的理论创新最新成果,既为上好思政课提供丰富的理论资源,也为推动思政课建设内涵式发展筑牢坚实的思想基础。必须以习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想“三进”为主要抓手,在开好讲好“习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想概论”这门核心课程的基础上,完整打造“习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想”专论课与“中国系列”课程群体系。统筹优质资源、结合具体实际,以“习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想概论”课程群为引领,按照思政课的课程目标任务和不同学段的学习要求,及时将党的最新创新理论成果贯通到其他各门思政必修课的教学体系之中,以此全面提升思政课程的建设水平。在此基础上,要实现党的创新理论成果向思政课教材体系的转化,注重编好学好用好思政课教材及其教辅材料,并根据社会实践新的发展及时优化思政课教材体系。

Strengthen the supporting role of practical teaching. To realize the Party’s ideological leadership over ideological and political theory course construction, it is necessary both to arm youth theoretically and to temper youth in practice. Upholding the unity of theory and practice is an important lever for promoting the connotative development of ideological and political theory course construction. The great practical achievements of comprehensively deepening reform in the New Era are a vivid manifestation of the truth charm of the Party’s innovative theory and are the most vibrant practical teaching materials. This requires that ideological and political theory course construction take the world-renowned achievements of socialism with Chinese characteristics as content support, use vivid cases and rich scenarios to tell the story of the vivid practice of the Party’s innovative theory on Chinese soil, and, in the combination of theory and practice, educate and guide students to deeply comprehend the practical power of the Party’s innovative theory. Fully leverage the educational and motivational role of the great achievements of socialism with Chinese characteristics, using objective facts, exemplary deeds, and vivid cases as carriers, comprehensively apply modern digital and intelligent technologies such as VR and AR in various ideological and political theory classrooms, fully display the major historical achievements of the Party’s century-long struggle and the great practical changes of the New Era, tell the story of the Communist Party of China on the new journey of the New Era and the story of Chinese-path modernization, guide students to correctly understand the responsibilities of the era and historical missions, and deeply cultivate feelings of love for the Party, the country, and socialism. Actively construct a practical teaching work system, build and make good use of practical teaching bases, allowing students to fully interact with vibrant practice and resonate with the times. Make good use of the “Grand Ideological and Political Theory Courses” [8] to “explain deeply, thoroughly, and vividly” the great practical achievements of Chinese-path modernization construction, allowing students to understand national conditions, people’s conditions, and social conditions in the “walking ideological and political classroom,” inspiring students to bravely shoulder the responsibilities of the era and consciously devote themselves to the tide of the era of comprehensively building a modern socialist country.

强化实践教学的支撑作用。实现党对思政课建设的思想领导,既要在理论上武装青年,又要在实践中锤炼青年。坚持理论性和实践性相统一是推动思政课建设内涵式发展的重要抓手。新时代全面深化改革取得的伟大实践成就是党的创新理论真理魅力的生动体现,是最鲜活的实践教学教材。这就要求思政课建设以中国特色社会主义取得的举世瞩目成就为内容支撑,用生动的案例与丰富的场景讲好党的创新理论在中国大地生动实践的故事,在理论和实践的结合中教育引导学生深刻感悟党的创新理论的实践伟力。充分发挥中国特色社会主义伟大成就的教育激励作用,以客观事实、人物事迹、生动案例为载体,在各门思政课堂上综合运用VR、AR等现代化数智技术,全面展示党的百余年奋斗重大历史成就、新时代的伟大实践变革,讲好新时代新征程上中国共产党的故事、中国式现代化的故事,引导学生正确认识时代责任和历史使命,厚植爱党、爱国、爱社会主义的情感。积极构建实践教学工作体系,建好用好实践教学基地,让学生与鲜活实践充分互动、与时代同频共振。善用“大思政课”把中国式现代化建设的伟大实践成就“讲深、讲透、讲活”,让学生在“行走的思政课堂”中了解国情民情社情,激励学生勇于担当时代责任、自觉投身全面建成社会主义现代化强国的时代洪流之中。

III. Uphold and Strengthen the Party’s Organizational Leadership, Construct a Grand Pattern of Collaborative Education for Ideological and Political Theory Courses

三、坚持和加强党的组织领导,构建思政课的协同育人大格局

Organizational leadership is one of the Party’s main leadership methods, a guarantee for implementing the Party’s political and ideological leadership, and also an important lever for leading the reform and innovation of ideological and political theory courses. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized, “Party committees (leading Party groups) at all levels should place ideological and political theory course construction on their important agenda, schools at all levels and of all types should consciously assume the main responsibility, continuously open up new prospects for ideological and political education in the New Era, and strive to cultivate more talents who reassure the Party, love the country, contribute to the country, and bear the heavy responsibility of national rejuvenation.” On the new journey, it is necessary to further strengthen the Party’s organizational leadership, comprehensively implement the Party’s educational policy, implement the fundamental task of fostering virtue through education [9], gather forces from all sides, and construct a collaborative education pattern for ideological and political theory courses that meets the development needs of the New Era.

组织领导是党的主要领导方式之一,是落实党的政治领导、思想领导的保证,也是引领思政课改革创新的重要抓手。习近平总书记强调,“各级党委(党组)要把思政课建设摆上重要议程,各级各类学校要自觉担起主体责任,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”。新征程上,必须进一步加强党的组织领导,全面贯彻党的教育方针,落实立德树人根本任务,汇聚各方力量,构建符合新时代发展需要的思政课协同育人格局。

Establish a working mechanism for school Party and administrative leaders to take the lead in grasping ideological and political theory courses. To uphold and strengthen the Party’s organizational leadership over the reform and innovation of ideological and political theory courses, the primary responsibility of the school Party committee must first be implemented. At the Symposium for School Ideological and Political Theory Teachers, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, “School Party secretaries and principals should take the lead in entering the classroom, take the lead in promoting ideological and political theory course construction, and take the lead in contacting ideological and political theory course teachers.” It is necessary to effectively play the exemplary and leading role of Party committees and Party cadres, place ideological and political theory course construction in a prominent strategic position in the school’s development, do a good job in the top-level design and systematic planning of ideological and political theory course reform and innovation, and ensure the effective implementation of the Party’s policies and guidelines for ideological and political theory course reform and innovation. Implement the working pattern of Party organizations at all levels in schools jointly grasping ideological and political theory courses. Under the leadership of the school Party committee, form a working mechanism where the school Party committee, college and department sub-Party committees, and Party branches at three levels jointly grasp ideological and political theory course construction, form a working pattern that promotes three-dimensional and systematic linkage in ideological and political theory course construction, enhance the joint force of ideological and political theory course construction, and effectively play the Party’s core leading role in the reform and innovation of ideological and political theory courses. Implement the supervision mechanism for the effectiveness of ideological and political theory course reform and innovation. The school Party committee should include the situation of ideological and political theory course construction in the assessment of the school’s Party building work, supervise around the implementation of the Party Central Committee’s requirements for ideological and political theory course reform and innovation, supervise around prominent problems restricting ideological and political theory course reform and innovation, fully play the role of supervision in ensuring implementation, and explore a long-term mechanism for supervising ideological and political theory course construction.

建立学校党政领导带头抓思政课工作机制。坚持和加强党对思想政治课改革创新的组织领导,首先要落实学校党委的主体责任。习近平总书记在学校思想政治理论课座谈会上指出,“学校党委书记、校长要带头走进课堂,带头推动思政课建设,带头联系思政课教师。”必须切实发挥党委、党员干部的模范带头作用,将思政课建设摆上学校事业发展的突出战略位置,做好思政课改革创新的顶层设计与系统谋划工作,保障党的思政课改革创新的方针、政策得到有效贯彻落实。落实学校各级党组织齐抓思政课的工作格局,在学校党委领导下,形成校党委、院系分党委、党支部三级组织一起抓思政课建设的工作机制,形成推动思政课建设立体系统联动的工作格局、增强思政课建设的工作合力,切实发挥党对思政课改革创新的核心引领作用。落实思政课改革创新成效的监督机制,学校党委要把思政课建设情况纳入学校党建工作考核,围绕党中央对思政课改革创新要求的落实情况抓监督,围绕制约思政课改革创新突出问题抓监督,充分发挥监督保障执行作用,探索思政课建设监督长效机制。

Grasp the key link of building the team of ideological and political theory course teachers. The key to teaching ideological and political theory courses well and running them well lies in the teachers of these courses. To strengthen the Party’s organizational leadership over ideological and political theory course construction, it is necessary to leverage the Party’s organizational leadership advantages to equip and build a strong team of ideological and political theory course teachers, clearly establish the standards for ideological and political theory course teachers, firmly grasp the selection, management, and assessment of ideological and political theory course teachers, strictly check in multiple aspects such as politics, teacher ethics, and professional competence, strengthen the comprehensive quality and capacity building of ideological and political theory course teachers, and strive to build a team of ideological and political theory course teachers who are politically strong, have deep feelings, think innovatively, have broad vision, are strict in self-discipline, and have upright personality. On this basis, promote the reform and innovation of the work evaluation mechanism for ideological and political theory course teachers. Resolutely break the ideological concepts and institutional mechanism drawbacks that hinder the reform and innovation of ideological and political theory courses, improve the evaluation system that prioritizes teaching, perfect the mechanism for ensuring teachers’ status and treatment, and increase the attractiveness of the position of ideological and political theory course teachers. Continuously enhance the professional identity, sense of honor, and sense of responsibility of ideological and political theory course teachers, effectively mobilize their enthusiasm, initiative, and creativity, and activate ideological and political theory course teachers to become the key force driving the reform and innovation of ideological and political theory courses.

抓实思政课教师队伍建设的关键环节。讲好思政课、办好思政课的关键在思政课教师。加强党对思政课建设的组织领导,必须通过发挥党的组织领导优势,配齐建强思政课教师队伍,旗帜鲜明地确立好思政课教师的标准,牢牢把握思政课教师的选用、管理和考核各环节,在政治、师德、业务等多方面严格把关,加强思政课教师综合素养和能力建设,着力建设一支政治强、情怀深、思维新、视野广、自律严、人格正的思政课教师队伍。在此基础上,推动思政课教师工作评价机制改革创新。坚决破除阻碍思政课改革创新的思想观念和体制机制弊端,健全突出教学优先的评价体系,完善教师地位和待遇保障机制,提高思政课教师岗位的吸引力。不断增强思政课教师的职业认同感、荣誉感、责任感,有效地调动思政课教师的积极性、主动性、创造性,激活思政课教师成为推动思政课改革创新的关键力量。

Gather forces from all sides to promote the construction of a grand pattern of collaborative education. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, “School ideological and political work is not simply a single-line task, but should be all-encompassing.” To promote the integration of ideological and political work into the talent cultivation system, it is necessary to leverage the synergistic effect of fostering virtue through education in an integrated, embedded, and infiltrative manner. The school Party committee should leverage the Party’s organizational leadership advantages to form a working pattern where relevant departments coordinate and act in concert, and the whole society cooperates to empower and assist ideological and political theory course construction and reform and innovation. Solve the problem of precise alignment between ideological and political theory courses and students at different educational stages, and coordinate the promotion of the integrated construction of ideological and political theory courses in universities, middle schools, and primary schools; solve the problem of mutual coordination between other courses and ideological and political theory courses, and realize the collaborative education of ideological and political theory courses and curriculum-based ideological and political education; solve the problem of mutual complementarity between other school staff and ideological and political theory course teachers, and strengthen exchanges and interactions between ideological and political theory course teachers and other teachers; solve the problem of effectively utilizing social resources for ideological and political theory courses, and focus on home-school cooperation, school-enterprise cooperation, etc. It is necessary, under the unified leadership of the Party, to realize the rational allocation and efficient utilization of resources in multiple fields inside and outside the school, establish a working pattern of unified leadership by the Party committee, joint management by the Party and government, respective responsibilities of relevant departments, and cooperation by the whole society, and gather strong forces from all sides to promote the construction of a grand pattern of collaborative education.

汇聚各方力量推动构建协同育人大格局。习近平总书记指出,“学校思想政治工作不是单纯一条线的工作,而应该是全方位的”。推动思想政治工作贯通人才培养体系,必须发挥融入式、嵌入式、渗入式的立德树人协同效应。学校党委要发挥党的组织领导优势,形成相关部门协同联动、全社会共同配合为思政课建设、思政课改革创新工作赋能助力的工作格局。解决好思政课与不同学段学生的精准对接问题,统筹推进大中小学思政课一体化建设;解决好其他课程与思政课相互配合的问题,实现思政课程与课程思政的协同育人;解决好学校其他教职工与思政课教师相辅相成的问题,加强思政课教师与其他教师的交流互动;解决好思政课有效利用社会资源的问题,注重家校合作、校企合作等。必须在党的统一领导下,实现校内外多领域资源的合理配置与高效利用,建立党委统一领导、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,汇聚各方的强大合力推动构建协同育人大格局。
