President Xi Jinping has asked Party schools to keep their teaching consistent with the Communist Party of China (CPC) ideology and politics.
The key to achieving the Chinese dream of national rejuvenation is to have an army of CPC officials with "iron-firm" faith, discipline and responsibility. It is Party schools' responsibility to instill these qualities in officials, Xi, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, said in a speech first given on Dec. 11 and due to be published in CPC magazine Qiushi on Sunday.
"The Party's will should be the will of the schools and its mission should be their mission," he said.
Research by Party schools should focus on developing CPC theories so as to consolidate the Party's leadership over ideology and Marxism's guiding role in ideology, according to Xi.
