Accelerate the high-quality development of military education

■ Su Liangbo

President Xi pointed out during the fifth collective study in the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee that we should persist in taking high-quality development as the lifeline of education at all levels and accelerate the construction of a high-quality education system. Military education is an important part of the national education system and the main channel for training military talents, which plays a fundamental, leading and overall role. We must fully implement the policy of military education in the new era, focus on building a new military talent training system, and accelerate the high-quality development of military education.

one

Education is the major plan of the country and the party. In the final analysis, strengthening the country and the army depends on talents and education. With the great journey of high-quality development of national defense and army building, the demand for transformation and upgrading of military education is becoming more and more urgent.

The urgent need to implement the strategy of strengthening the army with talents in the new era. Talent is the key factor to promote the high-quality development of our army, win military competition and take the initiative in future wars. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, President Xi has placed the implementation of the strategy of strengthening the army with talents in the new era in a prominent position in the development of strengthening the army, strengthened the layout of the modernization of military personnel, and made historic achievements in the talent work of our army. But at the same time, we should also be soberly aware that the practical problems such as "two gaps are great", "two abilities are not enough" and "five won’t" are still "obstacles" that need to be solved urgently in preparation for military struggle, and the problem of shortcomings and weaknesses in talent construction is still outstanding. We must accelerate the comprehensive transformation and upgrading of military talents’ ability and quality, structural layout and development management with high-quality military education, and promote the overall level of our military talent team construction to make a big leap to support the full implementation of the strategy of strengthening the army through talents.

An important embodiment of comprehensively implementing the military education policy in the new era. Where is the demand for talents preparing for war, the direction of military education should point to. In the new era, our army’s construction is accelerating the transformation to quality, efficiency and technology-intensive, which puts forward higher requirements for training military talents and running military education well. President Xi had a profound insight into the general trend of the times, accurately grasped the orientation, development law and distinctive features of military education, and historically put forward the military education policy in the new era, which set up a general program, general guidance and general compliance for military education in the new era. To fully implement the military education policy in the new era, we must clearly understand the profound changes in the external environment and internal conditions of our army’s construction, actively explore the laws of military education and the growth of military talents, deepen the reform and innovation of military education, fill in the shortcomings and weaknesses of military education in terms of resource allocation, institutional mechanisms and team building, and push military education to truly embark on the connotative development path with improving quality as the core.

A powerful measure to solve the contradiction problem of military education. The deeper the reform is, the more it needs to exert its strength on deep-seated contradictions and seek benefits from high-quality development. In the historical process of comprehensively implementing the reform to strengthen the army, the new military personnel training system, which is a trinity of military academy education, military training practice and military vocational education, is more perfect, but the overall educational efficiency of military education is still not obvious. The problem of "emphasizing use and neglecting training" in military personnel work still exists, and the function of military vocational education has not been fully exerted. The reform and development of military education is in a critical period of history. To solve these contradictions, we must firmly establish the concept of high-quality development, persist in solving the contradictions in the development of military education with reform and innovation, promote the transformation and upgrading of military education, and improve the level of running schools and the quality of personnel training.

Quality is the life of education. To promote the high-quality development of military education, we should be guided by the correct political direction and new development concept, take meeting the demand of military education from the strategy of strengthening the army with talents as our mission, follow the law, be driven by innovation, cultivate internal strength, improve quality, and strive to cultivate high-quality and professional new military talents with both ability and political integrity.

Taking moral education as the fundamental task. It is a fine tradition and political advantage of our army to strengthen moral education and equip officers and men with the party’s innovative theory. To promote the high-quality development of military education, we must highlight the value orientation of Lide Shuren, always insist on running schools and educating people ideologically and politically, put moral education first, put political quality first, put ideological and political work throughout the whole process of military education, solidly promote the "three entrances" of the party’s innovation theory, guide officers and men to strengthen their ideals and beliefs, keep in mind their initial mission, and strive to win the army, so as to realize the whole process and all-round education and ensure the absolute loyalty and purity of the trained talents.

Think that educating people through war is the core orientation. Serving for war is the value and responsibility of military education. High-quality military education must be an education to cultivate talents who can win the battle. We must always face the battlefield, the troops and the future, take the war as a guide and grasp the teaching as a battle, earnestly implement the combat effectiveness standard throughout the whole process of military education, and promote all school-running activities to focus on being able to fight and win the battle. We must pay close attention to the actual combat education and training, teach what we need in the war and practice what the troops need, focus on improving the true skills and hard work of officers and men in preparing for the war, and effectively make the supply side of talent training accurately connect with the demand side of the future battlefield, and move toward the troops, actual combat and the future.

Take deepening reform and connotation development as the basic path. Rebuilding the docking system, deepening reform and innovation, and taking the connotative development road with improving quality as the core are the inherent requirements for the high-quality development of military education. We must persist in confronting contradictions and solving difficult problems with innovative ideas and methods, continuously stimulate the vitality and potential of the military education system, and build excellent courses, teaching materials and teachers closely related to personnel training. We must persist in seeking benefits from connotation, improve the quality of running a school and the efficiency of cultivating talents, constantly optimize the system structure, upgrade the internal quality, integrate superior resources, lay a solid foundation for development, and tap our own potential, so as to explore a new way of high-quality development that is open, integrated and intensive.

The goal is to cultivate high-quality, professional new military talents with both ability and political integrity. The fundamental goal of education is to educate people and cultivate new people of the times who can shoulder the heavy responsibility of strengthening the army. To promote the high-quality development of military education, we must set new standards and requirements for military education "who to train", so that the trained talents can meet the specifications of "having both ability and political integrity", "high quality" and "specialization", which truly meets the needs of army building and future wars. Having both ability and political integrity means being politically competent and capable; High quality means having a world vision, adapting to the requirements of the times and being worthy of the heavy responsibility of strengthening the army; Specialization means that all kinds of military personnel should have the professionalism, professional knowledge, professional skills, professional accomplishment and so on needed to perform their duties.

Today, standing at the historical intersection of the new era, we need high-quality military education more than ever before, and look forward to more and more military talent resources more than ever before. We must promote the formation of a joint effort to grasp military education and talent training with greater determination and pragmatic measures.

Strengthen the new military personnel training system. Talent cultivation is a systematic project. It is necessary to meet the needs of national defense and army building, accurately grasp the functional orientation, essential connotation and focus of the trinity new military personnel training system, do a good job in overall planning of the talent team, the "next article" of college reform, and the overall optimization of military education, re-examine the orientation of running schools, scientifically concise the ideas of running schools, and form a pattern of running schools and educating people with clear functions and organic connection. It is necessary to optimize the training paths of all kinds of talents, give full play to the unique functions and respective advantages of strengthening the foundation of military academy education, transforming and applying military training practice, and expanding and improving military vocational education around the goal of educating people in one body, and effectively link up the talent training links between colleges and troops, theory and practice, and classroom and battlefield.

Implement the priority development strategy of colleges and universities. Governing the army first governs the school, and strengthening the army must strengthen the school. It is necessary to strengthen the awareness of priority, and deeply understand the extreme importance of military academies as the main channel for training military talents from the perspective that human resources are the first resource and education is the most fundamental cause of a nation. It is necessary to take practical priority measures, take the construction of colleges and universities as an important first move to promote the development of military construction, establish the orientation of running schools with excellent talents and high-quality resources, and truly implement the priority development strategy.

It is necessary to form a priority joint force, and be willing to put the best talents, the most scarce funds and the most advanced equipment into colleges and universities, so as to form a large-scale pattern and system for the construction of colleges and universities jointly supported by military commission organs, colleges and universities, troops and localities and educated by Qi Xin, and to build a cohesive force.

Deepen the reform and innovation of education and teaching. Reform and innovation is the eternal theme of education and teaching. It is necessary to strengthen the top-level design and long-term planning of military education, promote the reform of educational methods, school-running models, management systems and guarantee mechanisms as a whole, and accelerate the innovation of school-running models and operational mechanisms. It is necessary to build a first-class discipline and specialty system, adhere to the development idea of fighting for the war, cultivating the new, supporting the special and strengthening the strength, optimize the layout of disciplines and specialties, lay a solid foundation for disciplines and specialties, strengthen the cultivation of new fields and new quality disciplines, highlight the construction of teaching system focusing on courses and textbooks, and comprehensively improve the level of disciplines and specialties.

　　　　　　 CCTV News:General Motors announced on the 23rd that it will recall about 7 million large pickup trucks and SUVs around the world, which are equipped with potentially dangerous Takada airbags.

　　　　　　 The scope of GM’s recall is full-size pickup trucks and SUVs from 2007 to 2014, including Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2500 and 3500. Sylvolay is GM’s best-selling car and the second best-selling car in the United States. Chevrolet Big Mac, Chevrolet Avalanche and Cadillac Escalade are also on the recall list.

　　　　　　 Since 2016, GM has requested the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to avoid the recall four times. The company believes that airbags are safe on the road and in testing. However, on the 23rd local time, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration rejected GM’s request, saying that airbags were still dangerous, and asked GM to recall 5.9 million vehicles in the United States.

　　　　　　 General Motors said it would not oppose this decision and would recall 1.1 million vehicles of the same model sold in other countries except the United States. At the same time, GM said that it firmly believes that the airbags of these vehicles will not pose a threat.

　　　　　　 Since Takada has gone bankrupt, GM will have to bear all the expenses. This will cost GM about $1.2 billion, accounting for about one-third of its net income so far this year.

　　　　　　 According to the report, the safety accident caused by the airbag burst in Takada has caused 27 deaths worldwide, including 18 people in the United States, but none of them involved GM-produced vehicles. At present, 63 million vehicles with related problems have been recalled in the United States, and about 100 million vehicles have been recalled worldwide.

　　China news agency, Beijing, August 13th (Reporter Chen Su) This year, China experienced extremely high temperature and heat wave. With the arrival of "dog days", the high temperature has been further upgraded recently. On the 12th, the China Meteorological Bureau issued the first high-temperature red warning this year. The high temperature in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the southwest region continued to develop, and the drought worsened. Why is the high temperature in China so extreme this year? On the 13th, many experts were interviewed by reporters to interpret the high temperature situation this year.

　　According to the statistics of the meteorological department, since late July, southern China has experienced a wide range of high-temperature weather with high intensity. As of the 13th, there were 40 days of high temperature above 35 degrees in Shanghai this year, and the extreme maximum temperature reached 40.9 degrees. Since July, the average number of days with high temperature above 35℃ in Zhejiang Province is 31 days, and the average number of days with high temperature above 38℃ is 16 days, both of which are the highest in the same period in history, among which Sanmen in Zhejiang Province has reached 43.1℃. Since July, Chongqing has experienced two rounds of high-temperature weather, with the average number of high-temperature days in the city reaching 29.3 days, the second highest in the same period since 1951. It is predicted that the large-scale high-intensity high-temperature weather will continue in the future, with the local temperature reaching 43-44℃ and the highest temperature in some districts and counties approaching or exceeding the historical extreme.

　　On the 12th, China Meteorological Bureau issued the first high-temperature red warning in China this year. On the 13th, the high-temperature red warning continued. It is estimated that the temperature in parts of 10 provinces and cities such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai will reach 40-42℃, and the local temperature will exceed 42℃.

　　Talking about the causes of this round of high temperature weather, Chen Tao, chief forecaster of the Central Meteorological Observatory, said that the high temperature weather has a certain relationship with the abnormal situation of atmospheric circulation. From the monitoring point of view, the western Pacific subtropical high has a large range and strong intensity. Under its control, the southern region as a whole is controlled by downward flow, and the sky is clear and partly cloudy. Under the influence of sunshine radiation during the day, the near-surface heating is relatively strong, so there is a large range of high temperature weather.

　　Chen Tao predicted that the subtropical high will still control the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in the future, and the high temperature weather from Sichuan Basin to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River will continue to develop or maintain. It is expected that the high temperature red warning will last for at least 4 to 5 days.

　　Chen Lijuan, chief forecaster of the National Climate Center, said that according to the forecast, the duration of this regional high temperature process is expected to exceed 62 days in 2013, making it the longest high temperature process since 1961.

　　Affected by high temperature weather, severe drought has occurred from Sichuan Basin to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Since July, the rainfall in the Yangtze River basin has been 40% less than normal, the high temperature days in some areas in the middle and lower reaches are close to 30 days, and the days without effective rainfall in some areas have exceeded 20 days. The water levels in the main stream of the Yangtze River, Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake are the lowest in the same period since the measured records were recorded. According to the data of the Ministry of Water Resources of China on the 11th, the drought in the Yangtze River Basin has affected 9.67 million mu of cultivated land in Anhui, Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan, Chongqing and Sichuan, and affected the water supply of 830,000 people.

　　Chen Tao said that it is expected that the meteorological drought will continue or worsen in the future. The continuous high temperature has a great impact on cash crops such as tea and fruits in the south, and the high temperature has also increased the demand for electricity and energy, and the demand for electricity by residents has increased, which has increased the pressure on electricity and energy supply.

　　"According to the monitoring of the National Climate Center, the rare high temperature weather in China since June this year is actually the strongest event since the complete meteorological record in 1961." Chen Lijuan said that, in fact, the occurrence of high-temperature heat wave events in summer is normal from the climate point of view, but the duration, intensity and influence range of this summer’s high-temperature heat wave events have indeed reached a very strong level. This is far from the problem of weather scale, and there must be deep climate scale reasons behind it.

　　She said that the sixth assessment report of IPCC (United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) pointed out that under the background of global warming, many extreme weather and climate events have been observed since the middle of the 20th century, among which the frequent occurrence of high temperature and heat waves is a very remarkable feature. Therefore, under the background of climate change, high-temperature heat wave events will become a new normal. It is expected that similar high-temperature heat waves will occur more frequently in the future summer, and the characteristics of long-term high temperature may become more and more obvious.
