Abstract

Personal and individual are two value attributes of educational purposes. On an individual level, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out in his speech on adhering to the fundamental task of cultivating moral character and talent: to cultivate socialist builders and successors with comprehensive development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor skills; In terms of social orientation, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized the importance of adhering to serving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation as an important mission of education, and pointed out the need to enhance the ability of education to serve economic and social development. Since the founding of the CPC, a hundred years of educational history has witnessed tremendous development, and China’s education has undergone earth shaking changes. In this process, individuals and society complement each other, constantly promoting economic and social development in achieving comprehensive human development and composing remarkable achievements that have attracted worldwide attention. In the future, to implement the “five educations simultaneously” and “education serving economic and social development” in practice, we should further promote the reform of the education system, streamline administration and delegate power in the allocation of educational resources, guide and strengthen the role of market mechanisms in the allocation of educational resources, promote the optimization of the education system and the improvement of operational efficiency, and provide higher quality, balanced, and diversified educational resources and services.
