Xuzhou, Suqian innovate course-based ideological and political education

The cities of Xuzhou and Suqian have made innovative efforts to promote course-based ideological and political education among students at primary, secondary and tertiary education institutions.

Xuzhou has recently launched the “Our Ideological and Political Courses” activity for primary and secondary schools. A group of excellent ideological and political instructors will be recruited from local schools to arrange for famous ideological and political teachers to visit thousands of schools, and provide students with inspiring and well-grounded ideological and political education.

Xuzhou will also invite nationally-renowned ideological and political teachers to give lectures and presentations as well make livestreaming in a bid to provide ideological and political classes for primary and secondary school students.

Xuzhou will also tap local universities as resources to organize college student volunteers to visit rural schools, carry out diversified activities, and promote the integration of ideological and political education in rural schools into that of the universities.

Nine high schools in Shuyang County carried out the theme activity of “Civilized Graduation Season without Graduation Banquet”. Ten thousand 12th grade teachers and students signed a promise to express their wishes for further education in a civilized way and lead the new trend.

“This is conducive to the construction of new social trends, and expressing the most sincere blessings in a frugal and civilized way, I think it is more meaningful”, Su Wenji, a student of Rudong Middle School in Shuyang County, said.

“I have received many good news from students about their good scores of the college entrance exams. In this simple and civilized way, they express my gratitude to the teachers, which makes teachers feel warm, sincere, and moving”, Liu Dan, a teacher of Shuyang High School, said.
