Quality Education Cannot Be Separated from Traditional Culture

In its "Several Opinions on Further Strengthening and Improving the Work of Moral Education in the Schools," the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party stated: "The quality of the ideological and intellectual ethics and the scientific and cultural outlook of students whom we produce and nurture now and for the next decade or two will directly affect the outlook of China in the twenty-first century; it will affect whether the strategic goals of socialist modernization construction in our country will be realized." This is a passage that Commissioner Zhang Qizhi cited in our conversation as he discussed the subject of quality education.
