According to the arrangements of the central government, the second batch of learning and practice activities has been officially launched, mainly carried out in municipal and county agencies, state-owned enterprises, and colleges and universities. Doing a good job in this batch of learning and practice activities is crucial to consolidating and expanding the results of the first batch of activities and ensuring that the entire learning and practice activities achieve practical results. All localities and units must fully implement the spirit of the central government, strive to maintain and continuously develop the current good work momentum, further improve their understanding of the significance of the second batch of learning and practice activities, conscientiously summarize and apply the good experience and good practices of the first batch of activities, and do a good job in relevant work to ensure that the second batch of learning and practice activities get off to a good start, get off the ground, and produce results and tangible results.
The units participating in the second batch of study and practice activities are in an important position in promoting scientific development and promoting social harmony. Party members and cadres in these units shoulder the important responsibility of implementing the party's lines, principles and policies to the grassroots and transforming them into conscious actions of the people. Doing this batch of study and practice activities well will help further arm the minds of party members and cadres with the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and further enhance the consciousness and firmness of implementing the scientific outlook on development; it will help give full play to the role of municipal and county agencies, state-owned enterprises, and colleges and universities in the overall scientific development. It plays an important role in deepening the implementation of the Scientific Outlook on Development; it is conducive to more consciously adhering to the Scientific Outlook on Development as a guide and completing various tasks of ensuring growth, people's livelihood, and stability; it is conducive to educating and guiding party members and cadres to strengthen their party spirit, improve their work style, and maintain close contact with the people. Currently, the international financial crisis is intensifying, and my country's economic and social development is facing severe challenges. Carry out study and practice activities in municipal and county agencies, state-owned enterprises, and colleges and universities, and guide party members and cadres to further understand the situation, enhance confidence, and respond to challenges. This is of great significance for better overcoming economic development difficulties, maintaining overall social stability, and promoting sound and rapid economic and social development. We must effectively enhance our sense of responsibility and mission, and carefully plan, organize, and implement the second batch of learning and practice activities.
We must carefully summarize and apply the successful experience of the first batch of learning and practical activities. In the first batch of activities, all provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities, central and state agencies followed the unified requirements of the central government and combined with their own realities, actively explored and innovated, and carried out learning and practical activities in a solid and effective manner, achieving fruitful results and accumulating valuable experience. The main ones are: we must firmly grasp the general requirement that party members and cadres receive education, advance scientific development, and benefit the people, adhere to the correct direction of learning and practical activities, and ensure that activities do not go through the motions or deviate; we must focus on the center, serve the overall situation, highlight practical characteristics, and solve outstanding problems; we must carry out in-depth study and awareness-raising throughout, effectively arm ourselves with theory, pay attention to the cultivation of party spirit, and do a good job in the subjective world. Reform; we must take emancipating the mind as the guide, persist in reform and innovation, and respect the initiative spirit of the grassroots; we must rely on the masses, fully promote democracy, and take mass satisfaction as the first criterion for testing the effectiveness of activities; we must adhere to classified guidance and enhance the pertinence and effectiveness of activities; we must adhere to overall planning and consideration, properly handle the relationship between promoting learning and practical activities and doing a good job in current work, and achieve both, do both, and promote both, etc. These experiences are hard-won and serve as an important reference for the second batch of learning and practice activities. All localities and units must use them conscientiously in light of actual conditions.
There are many units, people, fields, and scope participating in the second batch of study and practice activities. The work status, professional composition, activity methods, and ideological status of the party members participating in the activities are quite different, making it difficult to strengthen work guidance. In addition, due to the impact and influence of the international financial crisis, some enterprises have difficulties in production and operation, more migrant workers have been laid off and returned to their hometowns, and the employment pressure of college graduates has increased, which has put forward higher requirements for learning and practicing activities. All localities and units must pay more attention to ideological mobilization and fully mobilize the enthusiasm and initiative of party members and cadres to participate in learning and practical activities; pay more attention to integrating theory with practice, deepen the study of the scientific outlook on development, form a scientific development consensus, and clarify development ideas; pay more attention to highlighting practical characteristics, strive to solve outstanding problems, and improve systems and mechanisms , do a good job in maintaining stable and rapid economic development and maintaining social harmony and stability; pay more attention to style construction, encourage leading cadres to strengthen party spirit, establish and promote good styles; pay more attention to the implementation of the mass line, guide the masses to actively participate; pay more attention to classified guidance, and effectively enhance the pertinence and effectiveness of learning and practice activities. Party committees (party groups) at all levels must implement leadership responsibilities, strengthen supervision and inspection, insist on overall planning and consideration, ensure that the second batch of learning and practice activities achieve more practical, institutional and cognitive results, welcome the 60th anniversary of the founding of New China with practical results in promoting scientific development, and provide strong ideological, political and organizational guarantees for winning new victories in building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way.
