Beijing: China will introduce the political ideology of President XI Jinping in its national curriculum for schools and colleges, in the latest efforts to consolidate the grip of the Communist Party in power for the future.
“XI Jinping thinks of socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era” will be included in China’s textbooks for students at all levels, the State Education Ministry was announced on Tuesday.
This guideline, which was issued by the National Text Book Committee, said textbooks reflected the will of the Chinese Communist Party (BPK) and the nation and directly impact on the direction and quality of talent cultivation, Daily Run China reported on Wednesday.
Ideology will be integrated into the curriculum that covers the basis, vocational and various subjects of higher education, Han Zhen, said a member of the National Text Book Committee.
In accordance with the new curriculum, elementary school will focus on fostering love for the country, CPC and socialism.
In high school, the focus will be on a combination of perception experience and study of knowledge, to help students form an assessment and basic political opinion.
In college, there will be more emphasis on the formation of theoretical thinking, the global time managed by the government reported.
Billed as the strongest leader after the founder of CPC Mao Zedong, XI is widely expected to continue to power for the beginning of the past that has never happened next year.
XI, 68, who heads CPC, the military and presidency will complete the term five years both as head heads next year.
But unlike its predecessor, he is expected to respond to the required retirement rules of two terms following the amendment of the constitution that eliminates the limit of the term for the president.
As a result, XI, which is pronounced as a “core leader” by the party – the title that places him on a higher base in the CPC leadership structure – has the prospect of continuing forgiving force.
Because he took control of the BPK at the end of 2012, XI had consolidated his grip on power with high-intensity anti-corruption campaigns where more than one million officials including some of the top military personnel were punished.
He has also launched several political initiatives including the realization of Chinese dreams which are widely defined as the reclamation of the greatness of the nation that is lost, making China quite prosperous, eliminating absolute poverty, consolidation of CPC power over the military and integration of Hong Kong and Taiwan with land, etc.
When he determined for the term all three, he recently launched a new initiative called “general prosperity for all” Chinese people, who are widely reported as a new policy of redistribution of wealth, ending the era of the billionaire in the country.
The new policy shift came when the government had installed an unprecedented crackdown on Alibaba and other top company companies from various sectors to overcome the separation of income inequality, the increase in the debt level and the slowdown of consumption.
