Promote Ideological and Political Work as a Daily Practice and at the Grassroots Level

胡昌升:推动思想政治工作做在日常落到基层

· · Ideological & Political Education · Secretary of the Gansu Provincial Committee of the CPC and Chair of the Standing Committee of the Gansu Provincial People's Congress · Qiushi, 2026, no. 2 · 15 min read

Ideological and political work is a fine tradition, a distinctive feature, and a prominent political advantage of the Party, and it is the lifeline of all work. Our Party has always attached great importance to ideological and political work. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC [1]1 The *Regulations* refer to the *Regulations on the Work of Ideological and Political Education in the Military*, issued by the Central Military Commission in 2024, which serves as a foundational document for ideological and political work in the armed forces., General Secretary Xi Jinping has delivered a series of important speeches and made a series of important instructions and directives, profoundly answering directional, fundamental, and overarching questions concerning ideological and political work, thereby promoting new developments and new achievements in this field. In September 2025, the Party Central Committee issued the "Regulations of the Communist Party of China on Ideological and Political Work" (hereinafter referred to as the "Regulations"), which, in the form of intra-Party regulations, further clarifies the institutional mechanisms, work responsibilities, content and methods, and objectives and tasks of ideological and political work, providing an important institutional guarantee for conducting such work under the new circumstances. We must deeply understand the extreme importance of ideological and political work, thoroughly implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's important expositions on this topic, closely integrate the study and implementation of the "Regulations" with the implementation of the spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the CPC [2]2 “Outlook on political performance” (政绩观) is a Party term referring to the guiding philosophy of cadres regarding what constitutes achievement in their official work, with a “people-centered” outlook emphasizing tangible benefits for the masses over superficial projects., adhere to a problem-oriented approach, improve work measures, and promote ideological and political work as a daily practice and at the grassroots level.

思想政治工作是党的优良传统、鲜明特色和突出政治优势,是一切工作的生命线。我们党历来高度重视思想政治工作,党的十八大以来,习近平总书记发表一系列重要讲话、作出一系列重要指示批示,深刻回答了思想政治工作的方向性、根本性、全局性问题,推动思想政治工作展现出新气象新作为。2025年9月,党中央印发《中国共产党思想政治工作条例》(以下简称《条例》),以党内法规形式对思想政治工作的体制机制、工作职责、内容方式、目标任务予以进一步明确,为做好新形势下思想政治工作提供了重要制度保障。必须深刻认识思想政治工作的极端重要性,深入贯彻习近平总书记关于思想政治工作的重要论述,把学习贯彻《条例》同落实党的二十届四中全会精神紧密结合起来,坚持问题导向,完善工作举措,推动思想政治工作做在日常、落到基层。

Make Vivid Ideas Vivid

把鲜活的思想讲鲜活

Thought is the precursor to action. Without unity in thought, there can be no unity in politics or unity in action. Grassroots-level theoretical propaganda is a key lever for clearing ideological confusion and consolidating ideological consensus. Currently, the effectiveness of the Party's innovative theories reaching the grassroots level still has room for improvement. For example, the integration of theoretical propaganda with practice is not close enough, the use of new technologies and new methods is insufficient, and the modes of expression are not down-to-earth enough. The masses feel that "they can't understand what is said, and they can't remember what they hear," and the appeal and attractiveness of theoretical propaganda need to be enhanced. How to better use scientific theory to guide, inspire, unite, and shape people, and to unify the thoughts and actions of the broad masses of cadres and the people with the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee, is a major issue that ideological and political work urgently needs to study and resolve.

思想是行动的先导。没有思想上的统一,就没有政治上的团结和行动上的统一。基层理论宣讲是廓清思想迷雾、凝聚思想共识的关键抓手。当前,党的创新理论直达基层的成效仍有提升空间。比如,理论宣传与实践结合不够紧密,新技术、新手段运用不足,表达方式不够接地气,群众感觉“说了听不懂、听了记不住”,理论宣传的感染力和吸引力有待增强。如何更好地用科学理论引导人、感召人、凝聚人、塑造人,将广大干部群众的思想和行动统一到党中央决策部署上来,是思想政治工作亟待深入研究解决的重大课题。

General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that we must effectively make vivid ideas vivid and make thorough theories thorough, powerfully promoting the Party's innovative theories to take root in the hearts of the people. To make them vivid, we must be close to reality, close to life, and close to the masses, using vivid cases, plain language, and lively forms of expression, so that theories have warmth and are perceptible. To make them thorough, we must deeply explain the core essence, logical context, and practical foundation of the theories, clearly articulating "what it is, why it is, how to do it, and what the outcome will be," so that theories have depth and are convincing. To take root in the hearts of the people, we must, through precise dissemination and practical transformation, integrate theories into the depths of thought and soul, making them the conscious awareness and voluntary adherence of the masses.

习近平总书记强调,要切实把鲜活的思想讲鲜活,把彻底的理论讲彻底,有力推动党的创新理论深入人心。讲鲜活,就要贴近实际、贴近生活、贴近群众,用生动案例、通俗语言、活泼形式进行表达,让理论有温度、可感知。讲彻底,就要深入阐释理论的核心要义、逻辑脉络、实践根基,把“是什么、为什么、怎么做、做成什么样”讲清楚,让理论有深度、可信服。深入人心,就要通过精准传播和实践转化,使理论融入思想和灵魂深处,成为群众的主动意识和自觉遵循。

In recent years, Gansu has coordinated propaganda resources, expanded dissemination channels, and concentrated efforts on building the "New Ideas on the Longyuan Plateau" [3]3 “Four practices at the grassroots level” (四下基层) is a working method originating from Xi Jinping’s tenure in Fujian, requiring Party officials to go propaganda brand. In terms of enhancing appeal, themes such as high-quality development, ecological civilization construction, cultural inheritance and innovation, national unity and progress, and comprehensive social governance have been combined with issues that the common people care about. Forms popular among the masses, such as talk shows, allegro, and three-and-a-half-sentence verses [4]4 Three-and-a-half-sentence verses (三句半) is a traditional Chinese folk performance form consisting of three full lines and a short punchline., have been adopted for propaganda, transforming theoretical discourse into the language of the masses and converting theoretical viewpoints into simple truths. In terms of improving targeting, key propaganda personnel have been organized to go deep into government agencies, urban and rural communities, schools, and enterprises to carry out targeted, differentiated, and interactive propaganda, face-to-face to resolve doubts and explain difficulties, and heart-to-heart to exchange ideas. In terms of achieving normalization, a long-term mechanism of "one theme per quarter, one training session per quarter, one research activity per quarter, and one tour of propaganda per quarter" has been established, promoting the constant renewal of grassroots theoretical propaganda. Practice has proven that as long as it is substantive, reasonable, and interesting, the Party's innovative theories can radiate vitality at the grassroots level and naturally enter the hearts of the common people.

近年来,甘肃统筹宣讲资源、拓展传播路径,聚力打造“新思想在陇原”宣讲品牌。在提升吸引力方面,将高质量发展、生态文明建设、文化传承创新、民族团结进步、社会综合治理等主题与老百姓关心的问题结合起来,采用脱口秀、快板、三句半等群众喜闻乐见的形式进行宣讲,把理论话语转化为群众语言,将理论观点转化为朴素道理。在提高针对性方面,组织宣讲骨干深入机关单位、城乡社区、学校、企业等,开展对象化、分众化、互动化宣讲,面对面解疑释惑,心贴心交流思想。在实现常态化方面,建立“一季一主题、一季一培训、一季一调研、一季一巡讲”长效机制,推动基层理论宣讲常讲常新。实践证明,只要言之有物、言之有理、言之有趣,党的创新理论就能在基层焕发生机活力,自然也能走进老百姓心坎里。

The "Regulations" propose placing the promotion of arming the mind, unifying thought, consolidating consensus, and guiding practice with the Party's innovative theories in the first place. To study and implement the "Regulations," we must focus on consolidating the soul, making sufficient efforts in innovating the popularization of theoretical propaganda and making ideas "come alive." In terms of content, we must be close to life, focus on the important work currently being advanced, combine it with changes that the masses feel deeply about, such as industrial development, employment and income growth, and infrastructure improvement, see the big from the small, interpret and analyze from subtle points, transform what we want to say into what the common people want to hear, shift from "one-way indoctrination" to "two-way resonance," and lead the masses to work together with one heart and one mind to promote the development of various undertakings. In terms of language, we must be vivid and lively, make good use of platforms such as propaganda competitions, organize characteristic propaganda teams such as the "Model Worker and Artisan Propaganda Team," the "Horseback Propaganda Team," and the "Sweet Potato Fragrance Sisters Propaganda Team," go deep into factory workshops, fields, and streets and alleys, use language that is soil-stained, dew-kissed, and steaming hot, to publicize the vivid practice of the Party's innovative theories on the Longyuan Plateau, making theoretical propaganda down-to-earth and popular. In terms of form, we must be diverse and flexible, strengthen AI empowerment, use short videos, interactive Q&A, and other forms, continuously launch integrated media products that the common people enjoy, expand grassroots theoretical propaganda models such as in-depth research and live streaming, and enhance the interactivity and appeal of theoretical propaganda.

《条例》提出,把推动用党的创新理论武装头脑、统一思想、凝聚共识、指导实践放在首位。学习贯彻《条例》,必须着眼凝心铸魂,在创新理论宣传普及、让思想“活”起来上下足功夫。内容上要贴近生活,聚焦当前正在推进的重要工作,结合群众感受深刻的产业发展、就业增收、基础设施改善等变化,以小见大、从细微之处解读剖析,把我们要讲的变成老百姓想听的,从“单向灌输”变为“双向共鸣”,引领群众同心同德推动各项事业发展。语言上要生动鲜活,用好宣讲大赛等平台,组织“劳模工匠宣讲团”、“马背宣讲团”、“薯香姐妹宣讲团”等特色宣讲队伍,深入工厂车间、田间地头、街头巷尾,用沾泥土、带露珠、冒热气的语言,宣传党的创新理论在陇原大地的生动实践,让理论宣传接地气、聚人气。形式上要多样灵活,强化AI赋能,运用短视频、互动问答等形式,持续推出老百姓喜闻乐见的融媒体产品,拓展蹲点式、直播式等基层理论宣讲模式,提升理论宣传的互动性、感染力。

Focus on the Concerns and Cares of the Masses

聚焦群众关心关切

The people are the foundation of the state; when the foundation is solid, the state is at peace. [5]5 This is a classical Chinese allusion from the "Book of Documents" (尚书), emphasizing the people as the foundation of the state. Ideological and political workers must bend down to listen to the voices of the people, calm their minds to resolve their worries, and turn the people's aspirations into the direction of action. In reality, some ideological and political workers do not engage in face-to-face communication frequently enough, and situations where they lack a deep and thorough understanding of grassroots realities and the demands of the masses still exist. There are not many ideas and methods for helping the masses untie ideological knots and solve difficult problems through ideological and political work, and the effectiveness of mass work is also unsatisfactory. How to focus on people and land on people, combine solving the masses' ideological problems with their practical difficulties, and achieve the organic unity of ideological guidance and serving the masses is a realistic test facing ideological and political work.

民惟邦本,本固邦宁。思想政治工作者要俯下身子听民声、沉下心来解民忧,将百姓所盼化为行动所向。现实中,部分思想政治工作者开展面对面沟通交流不够经常,对基层实情和群众诉求了解不深不透的情况依然存在,通过思想政治工作帮助群众解开思想结、解决难心事的思路办法不多,开展群众工作的效果也不尽如人意。如何着眼于人、落脚于人,把解决群众思想问题与现实困难相结合,实现思想引领与服务群众的有机统一,是思想政治工作面临的现实考验。

General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that we must take the people's aspiration for a better life as our goal of struggle, solving both practical problems and ideological problems, to better strengthen confidence, gather people's hearts, warm people's hearts, and build consensus. To solve practical problems, we must focus on what the people hope for and worry about, do a good job of practical matters concerning people's livelihoods, and turn the people's aspiration for a better life into reality step by step. To solve ideological problems, we must analyze matters and clarify principles, clearly explain the Party's policies, and untie the people's ideological knots. Ideological problems are closely related to practical problems. To solve cognitive problems at the ideological level, we must anchor our efforts on practical problems, enhance trust in solving practical problems, and consolidate consensus in clarifying principles.

习近平总书记强调,必须把人民对美好生活的向往作为我们的奋斗目标,既解决实际问题又解决思想问题,更好强信心、聚民心、暖人心、筑同心。解决实际问题,就要聚焦民之所盼、民之所忧,办好民生实事,把群众对美好生活的向往一步步变为现实。解决思想问题,就要析事明理,讲清楚党的政策,解开群众的思想疙瘩。思想问题与实际问题息息相关,解决思想层面的认知问题,必须锚定实际问题发力,在解决实际问题中增进信任,在讲清道理中凝聚共识。

To solve the practical difficulties of the masses, we must enhance service awareness and innovate service methods. For three consecutive years, we have implemented the "Pairing Assistance · Loving Gansu" project, organizing 251,000 Party members and cadres across the province to pair up and form kinship with 267,000 orphans, people with severe disabilities, and those in special difficulty. Regular visits, inspections, and contact exchanges are conducted, adhering to the principle of "must visit for severe hospitalization, must visit for children dropping out of school or being unemployed, must visit for unexpected disasters, must visit for family bereavement." A total of over 600,000 practical matters have been handled, achieving support for the weak, help for the needy, solutions for difficulties, and clarification for doubts. Lanzhou Petrochemical Company has actively explored "small, fast, and flexible" mass work methods, innovatively launching a five-step work method: "observe subtle signs, talk heart-to-heart, know the roots, visit to solve difficulties, and clear the bottom," achieving a high degree of coupling between the "ideological guidance chain" and the "business development chain," thereby enhancing the effectiveness of ideological and political work in empowering high-quality development. Practice has proven that as long as we keep the joys, sorrows, clothing, food, housing, and warmth of the common people in our hearts, treat the masses' affairs as our own, put ourselves in their shoes, and exchange hearts for hearts, the masses will consciously feel grateful to the Party, listen to the Party, and follow the Party.

解决群众实际困难,要增强服务意识、创新服务方式。我们连续三年实施“结对帮扶·爱心甘肃”工程,组织全省25.1万名党员、干部与26.7万名孤儿、困难重度残疾人、特殊困难群众结对认亲,定期走访探视、联系交流,坚持“重症住院必到、子女辍学或待业必到、意外灾害必到、家人去世必到”,累计帮办实事60余万件,做到弱有所扶、困有所帮、难有所解、惑有所释。兰州石化公司积极探索“小、快、灵”群众工作方法,创新推出“察微知著、谈心交底、知根知底、访难解困、清仓见底”五步工作法,实现“思想引领链”与“业务发展链”高度耦合,增强了思想政治工作赋能高质量发展效能。实践证明,只要把老百姓的喜怒哀乐、衣食冷暖放在心上,把群众的事当成自己的事来办,将心比心、以心换心,群众就会自觉感党恩、听党话、跟党走。

To do ideological and political work well, it is necessary to focus on humanistic care, promote problem-solving, and do more practical and good things that win people’s hearts, warm people’s hearts, and stabilize people’s hearts. The *Regulations* [1]1 The *Regulations* refer to the *Regulations on the Work of Ideological and Political Education in the Military*, issued by the Central Military Commission in 2024, which serves as a foundational document for ideological and political work in the armed forces. propose adhering to the people’s standpoint and putting people first. To study and implement the *Regulations*, we must firmly establish an outlook on political performance that benefits the people [2]2 “Outlook on political performance” (政绩观) is a Party term referring to the guiding philosophy of cadres regarding what constitutes achievement in their official work, with a “people-centered” outlook emphasizing tangible benefits for the masses over superficial projects. and make full efforts to focus on the concerns of the masses and warm their hearts. Closely connect with the masses, make good use of the experience of the “four practices at the grassroots level” [3]3 “Four practices at the grassroots level” (四下基层) is a working method originating from Xi Jinping’s tenure in Fujian, requiring Party officials to go, deeply conduct investigation and research, persist in asking the people about governance, asking the people for advice, and asking the people about their needs. For decisions concerning people’s livelihood development and the interests of the masses, extensively solicit opinions from the masses and draw on the wisdom of the masses, so as to stimulate and mobilize the initiative, creativity, and activity latent among the people. Actively respond to the masses, handle various conflicts, disputes, and demands for the interests of the masses with one-stop acceptance, package mediation, and whole-chain resolution. Improve the normalized online public opinion direct-express mechanism [4]4 Three-and-a-half-sentence verses (三句半) is a traditional Chinese folk performance form consisting of three full lines and a short punchline., focus on promoting online and offline collaborative governance, so that more services that reflect public opinion, respond to public sentiment, and alleviate public hardship are accepted online and resolved offline, turning the internet, this greatest variable, into the greatest increment for career development. Serve the masses with feeling, embody caring for the masses and loving the people in all processes and aspects of performing duties and responsibilities. Improve normalized assistance mechanisms that are face-to-face, hand-in-hand, and heart-to-heart. Intensify efforts to solve urgent, difficult, and anxious problems for the masses, such as employment, education, medical care, and social security. Improve the service guarantee system for groups such as empty-nest elderly, children in difficulty, and the disabled, warming people’s hearts with concrete measures.

做好思想政治工作,需要注重人文关怀,推动解决问题,多做得人心、暖人心、稳人心的实事好事。《条例》提出,坚持人民立场、以人为本。学习贯彻《条例》,必须牢固树立造福人民的政绩观,在聚焦群众关切、暖民心上下足功夫。紧密联系群众,运用好“四下基层”经验,深入开展调查研究,坚持问政于民、问计于民、问需于民,对事关民生发展、群众利益的决策,广泛征求群众意见、汲取群众智慧,把蕴藏在人民群众中的积极性、主动性、创造性激发出来、调动起来。主动回应群众,对各类矛盾纠纷和群众利益诉求一站式受理、一揽子调处、全链条解决,健全常态化网络民意直通车机制,注重推进网上网下协同治理,使更多反映民意、回应民声、纾解民困的服务在网上受理、在线下解决,使互联网这个最大变量变成事业发展的最大增量。用情服务群众,把心系群众、情系百姓体现到履职尽责的全过程各方面,健全面对面、手拉手、心贴心的常态化帮扶机制,加力解决就业、教育、医疗、社保等群众急难愁盼问题,完善空巢老人、困境儿童、残疾人等群体服务保障体系,以实实在在的举措温暖人心。

Expanding the Path of Practical Education

拓展实践育人路径

Young people are a key group that must be focused on in ideological and political work. Practical education, as a key link in implementing the fundamental task of fostering virtue through education [5]5 This is a classical Chinese allusion from the "Book of Documents" (尚书), emphasizing the people as the foundation of the state. and an important component of school ideological and political work, plays an increasingly prominent role at a time when the integration of ideological and political education across primary, secondary, and tertiary schools is being accelerated. Currently, problems remain prominent, such as the mismatch between the content supply of ideological and political courses and student needs, insufficient excavation of ideological and political elements in educational fields, insufficient collaborative efforts among educational subjects, poor classroom interaction, and low “head-raising rates.” How to solve these problems, effectively revitalize resources, innovate carriers, and practically enhance the effectiveness of practical education is the current focus of school ideological and political work.

青少年是做好思想政治工作必须关注的重点群体。实践育人作为落实立德树人根本任务的关键一环和学校思想政治工作的重要组成部分,在加快推进大中小学思想政治教育一体化的当下,其作用愈发凸显。当前,思政课内容供给与学生需求不够匹配、育人场域思政元素挖掘不足、育人主体协同发力不够、课堂互动性差与“抬头率”低等问题依然突出。如何破解上述难题,有效盘活资源、创新载体,切实提升实践育人成效,是当前学校思想政治工作的重点。

General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that the “small classroom” of ideological and political education and the “big classroom” of society should be effectively integrated, and moral education work should be done more thoroughly and effectively. The “small classroom” of ideological and political education is the main channel and main front, while the “big classroom” of society is the social life and practical activities that contain the content and functions of ideological and political education. Only by organically combining systematic theoretical teaching with vivid social practice can we better build an education system that unifies cognition, emotion, will, and action, and create a good environment for all-staff education, whole-process education, and all-round education.

习近平总书记强调,要把思政教育“小课堂”和社会“大课堂”有效融合起来,把德育工作做得更到位、更有效。思政教育“小课堂”是主渠道、主阵地,社会“大课堂”是蕴含思想政治教育内容和功能的社会生活和实践活动。只有将系统性的理论教学与鲜活的社会实践有机结合,才能更好地构建起认知、情感、意志、行动相统一的育人体系,营造全员育人、全程育人、全方位育人的良好环境。

Gansu actively taps into its rich cultural resources and explores the establishment of a diversified, collaborative, and deeply integrated pattern of practical education for the grand ideological and political courses [6]6 The *Regulations* refer to the *Regulations on the Ideological and Political Work of the Communist Party of China* (《中国共产党思想政治工作条例》), a set of intra-Party regulations issued by the CPC Central Committee in 2023 to systematize ideological and political work across Party and state institutions.. For example, focusing on enhancing educational effectiveness, it innovatively creates immersive large-scale ideological and political public courses, such as “Never Forget” and “Outstanding Figures of Longyuan – Ideological and Political Classroom,” that run online and offline. Taking the Party’s innovative theory as the main theme and main line, it integrates revolutionary traditional education and the inspiration of role models into practical teaching. Comprehensively using methods such as pictures, videos, songs, bullet comments, and role-playing, it constructs a diversified and integrated narrative structure, breaking the boundaries between the podium and the stage, teachers and hosts, and students and the audience, allowing young students to receive ideological baptism and build a solid foundation of faith in emotional integration. Practice has proven that only by simultaneously advancing the construction of ideological and political courses and the armed forces of the Party’s innovative theory, combining theoretical education and practical exercise, and closely aligning teaching methods with the lifestyles and thinking habits of young people, can the grand ideological and political courses truly be taught vividly, thoroughly, and well.

甘肃积极挖掘丰厚的文化资源,探索建立多元协同、深度融合的大思政课实践育人格局。比如,聚焦提升育人实效,创新打造贯穿线上线下的沉浸式大型思政公开课“永远不会忘记”、“陇人骄子 思政课堂”,以党的创新理论为主题主线,将革命传统教育和榜样示范感召融入实践教学,综合运用图片、视频、歌曲、弹幕、角色扮演等方式,构建起多元一体的叙事结构,打破讲台与舞台、教师与主持人、学生与观众的界限,让青少年学生在情感交融中接受思想洗礼、筑牢信仰之基。实践证明,只有坚持思政课建设和党的创新理论武装同步推进,理论教育和实践锻炼相互结合,教学方式和青少年生活方式、思维习惯紧密契合,大思政课才能真正讲活、讲透、讲好。

The *Regulations* propose persisting in educating people for the Party and cultivating talent for the country. To study and implement the *Regulations*, we must closely adhere to the fundamental question of “what kind of people to cultivate, how to cultivate them, and for whom to cultivate them,” make good use of successful cases of the great transformation of the New Era, uphold fundamental principles and break new ground to promote the connotative development of ideological and political course construction, and make full efforts to expand the path of practical education and make the classroom “ignite.” Improve the practical education system, perfect the practical education mechanism for collaborative linkage among departments such as propaganda, education, and culture and tourism, implement the integrated practical education plan for ideological and political courses in primary, secondary, and tertiary schools, incorporate the effectiveness of practical education into the school education evaluation system, and promote the construction of a new pattern of practical education characterized by province-wide coordination, full-stage articulation, and full-factor guarantee. Innovate carriers for practical education, systematically integrate high-quality resources such as science and technology, culture, and reform and opening up practices, tailor teaching methods such as heuristic, case-based, and experiential approaches to the characteristics of students at different stages, and innovatively create “walking ideological and political courses,” “ideological and political courses in the fields,” and “ideological and political courses in museums,” transforming resource advantages into educational advantages. Broaden the fields of practical education, continuously build practical education circles and practical teaching sites themed around Yellow River culture, Dunhuang culture, red culture, ecological civilization, the sense of community for the Chinese nation, scientific and technological innovation, and beautiful and harmonious villages, encourage schools to deeply embed practical teaching into fields such as community governance, rural revitalization, and industry development, and fully activate the potential of practical education.

《条例》提出,坚持为党育人、为国育才。学习贯彻《条例》,必须紧扣“培养什么人、怎样培养人、为谁培养人”这一根本问题,用好新时代伟大变革成功案例,守正创新推动思政课建设内涵式发展,在拓展实践育人路径、让课堂“燃”起来上下足功夫。完善实践育人体系,健全宣传、教育、文旅等部门协同联动的实践育人机制,落实大中小学思政课一体化实践育人方案,将实践育人成效纳入学校教育评价体系,推动构建全省域协同、全学段贯通、全要素保障的实践育人新格局。创新实践育人载体,系统整合科技、文化、改革发展实践等优质资源,针对不同学段学生特点,用好启发式、案例式、体验式教学方法,创新打造“行走的思政课”、“田野里的思政课”、“博物馆里的思政课”,将资源优势转化为育人优势。拓宽实践育人场域,持续建设以黄河文化、敦煌文化、红色文化、生态文明、中华民族共同体意识、科技创新、和美乡村等为主题的实践育人圈和实践教学点,鼓励学校将实践教学深度嵌入社区治理、乡村振兴、行业发展等领域,全面激活实践育人潜能。

Making Responsibilities Concrete

让责任实起来

Governing the country relies on standards, and securing the state depends on norms. Ideological and political work is the engine driving the development of all the Party’s undertakings. To ensure its sustained and efficient operation, it is necessary to tighten every screw in the chain of responsibility through scientific evaluation and supervision. In actual work, the boundaries of responsibility for ideological and political work are blurred; there is a lack of clear definition of what responsibilities Party committees (leading Party members’ groups), grassroots Party organizations, and ordinary Party members should each bear and what work they should do. Evaluation standards are incomplete; who evaluates and how to evaluate are unclear, and there is no objective yardstick for whether the work is done well or poorly. Supervision mechanisms are weak, often hanging in the air and difficult to implement. Building a measurement and evaluation system with comprehensive content, reasonable indicators, and scientific methods, clarifying standards, and strengthening supervision have become urgent tasks for grasping and solidifying ideological and political work.

治国凭圭臬,安邦靠准绳。思想政治工作是推动党的各项事业发展的引擎,为确保其持续高效运转,需要通过科学的评价监督,拧紧责任链条上的每一颗螺丝。实际工作中,思想政治工作的责任边界模糊,从党委(党组)到基层党组织、普通党员,各自应承担什么责任、该做什么工作缺乏清晰界定;评价标准不完善,谁来评价、怎么评价不明确,干得是好是坏缺乏客观标尺;监督机制乏力,往往悬在空中、难以落实。构建内容全面、指标合理、方法科学的测评体系,明确标准、强化督导,已成为抓紧抓实思想政治工作的当务之急。

General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly made important instructions and put forward clear requirements on playing the commanding role of evaluation in Party building, science and technology, education, talent, and other work, promoting evaluation to drive construction, evaluation to drive reform, and evaluation to drive effectiveness. This is precisely the “golden key” to solving problems. Evaluation to drive construction aims to consolidate main responsibilities through scientific evaluation, stimulate endogenous motivation, and make ideological and political work further implemented, detailed, and concrete. Evaluation to drive reform focuses on adhering to a problem-oriented approach, concentrating on problems and shortcomings discovered in evaluation, targeting measures, making precise efforts, and achieving improvement and enhancement. Evaluation to drive effectiveness, through evaluation comparing strengths and weaknesses, summarizes experience, and promotes the transformation of ideological and political work from “whether it exists” to “whether it is excellent.”

习近平总书记多次就发挥评价在党建、科技、教育、人才等工作中的指挥棒作用作出重要指示、提出明确要求,推动以评促建、以评促改、以评促效。这正是破解难题的“金钥匙”。以评促建,旨在通过科学评价压实主体责任,激发内生动力,让思想政治工作进一步落地落细落实。以评促改,重在坚持问题导向,聚焦评价中发现的问题和短板,靶向施策、精准发力,实现改进提升。以评促效,通过评价比较优劣,总结经验,推动思想政治工作从“有没有”向“优不优”转变。

In recent years, Gansu has established an ideological and political work evaluation system covering all regions and fields of the province, centered on “what to evaluate, who evaluates, how to evaluate, and how to use the evaluation results.” By focusing on the implementation of responsibilities, it clarifies the duties of local Party committees, propaganda departments, leading departments in industries and fields, and mass organizations such as trade unions, Communist Youth Leagues, and women’s federations, forming a responsibility network with clear division of labor and clear rights and responsibilities. Focusing on scientific evaluation, it formulates evaluation standards based on the characteristics of different fields, with provincial-level propaganda, organs work committees, education, state-owned assets, and other departments taking the lead respectively, regularly evaluating the ideological and political work situation of cities and prefectures, provincial-level direct organs and units, provincial universities, and provincial state-owned enterprises. Focusing on the application of results, it incorporates evaluation results into supervision and inspection, inspection tours, and comprehensive assessment and evaluation of Party and government leading bodies and leading cadres, rewarding the excellent and punishing the inferior, supervising rectification, and forming an institutional closed loop of discovering problems, feeding back problems, and solving problems. Practice has proven that only by improving the evaluation system and tightening the chain of responsibility can we ensure the high-quality development of ideological and political work.

近年来,甘肃围绕“评什么、谁来评、怎么评、评了怎么用”,建立起覆盖全省各地区、各领域的思想政治工作评价体系。通过聚焦责任落实,明确地方党委、宣传部门、行业领域牵头部门和工青妇等群团组织职责,形成分工明确、权责清晰的责任网。聚焦科学评价,依据不同领域特点制定评价标准,由省级宣传、机关工委、教育、国资等部门分别牵头,定期对市州、省直机关单位、省内高校、省属国有企业思想政治工作情况进行评价。聚焦结果运用,将评价结果纳入监督检查、巡视巡察、党政领导班子和领导干部综合考核评价,奖优罚劣,督促整改,形成发现问题、反馈问题、解决问题的制度闭环。实践证明,只有健全评价体系,压实责任链条,才能确保思想政治工作实现高质量发展。

The *Regulations* emphasize the improvement of mechanisms for assessment and evaluation, incentives and guarantees, and supervision and management. To study and implement the *Regulations*, it is necessary to focus on perfecting the system of ideological and political work, and to put sufficient effort into strengthening evaluation and supervision and implementing responsibilities.

Adapt to changes and developments in the situation, enrich and innovate assessment methods, optimize assessment indicators, incorporate ideological and political work in communities, rural areas, the internet, and emerging fields into relevant assessment systems, strengthen comprehensive assessments of the advantages of ideological and political work played by mass organizations, and continuously improve the scientific and precise level of assessment. Conduct regular supervision and inspections, through random checks, research interviews, public opinion surveys, and other means, promptly identify problems arising in work and urge rectification, and strictly pursue accountability and impose sanctions on those who perform their duties poorly.
