Party leadership and discipline construction
——Report on the special party class on education on maintaining the advanced nature of Communist Party members at the w88 casino
（September 15, 2005)
w88 casino Party Committee Secretary Wang Ling
Since the beginning of this year, two major events have occurred in the political life of the party in w88 casino: First, the 10th Party Congress was held, which has not been held in ten years, and it was determined to take discipline construction as the leader, unite people with discipline construction goals, and achieve the strategic goal of leap-forward development of the w88 casino; second, the entire party was mobilized to carry out educational activities to maintain the advanced nature of Communist Party members. These two major events affect every party member and all teachers, students and staff of the w88 casino. Today, I will talk about these two major events and their relationship with each of our party members, combined with the spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 16th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and Comrade Hu Jintao’s speech at the special report meeting on maintaining the advanced nature of Communist Party members in the new era, and talk about my personal learning experience.
1. High-level universities need high-level leadership
Creating a high-level university is the strategic goal put forward by the 10th Party Congress of w88 casino and the common aspiration of all teachers, students and staff of the w88 casino. To create a high-level university, we must first have high-level leadership. In a certain sense, the level of leadership determines the level of the university. What kind of leadership there is will determine the level of the university.
1. High-level universities need party leadership
The "Higher Education Law of the People's Republic of China" clearly stipulates: "State-run higher education institutions implement a principal responsibility system under the leadership of the Communist Party of China's higher education grassroots committee." The state "The state adheres to the guidance of Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, and Deng Xiaoping Theory and follows the basic principles established by the Constitution to develop socialist higher education." "Higher education must implement the state's education policy, serve the socialist modernization drive, and be integrated with productive labor to enable the educated to become builders and successors of the socialist cause with comprehensive moral, intellectual, and physical development." This clearly stipulates the party's leadership of colleges and universities and the basic tasks and goals of running colleges and universities. In the new historical period, the historical position of our party has undergone major changes, and party building in schools is also facing new situations and problems. However, no matter what changes occur, the party's leadership of colleges and universities cannot be changed, and the direction of socialist w88 casino running cannot be changed. In the new historical period, colleges and universities, as highlands for gathering talents and bases for cultivating talents, are closely related to the country's economic, political, and cultural development. They undertake the important tasks of talent training, knowledge innovation, and social services. They occupy an extremely important strategic position in the great cause of building socialism with Chinese characteristics. Therefore, we must adhere to the guiding position of Marxism in colleges and universities and grasp the correct direction of running schools. This is determined by China’s national conditions today and is also an important difference between Chinese universities and Western universities.
What is the direction of socialist w88 casino running? It is to cultivate pillar talents and elite talents for China and the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics. It is also to cultivate knowledgeable talents for the revitalization and rise of the Chinese nation. Such talents must be builders and successors of the socialist cause with the concept of the motherland, the concept of the people, the concept of the party and the concept of socialism.
The cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the cause of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation are advanced in the fiercely competitive environment of today's world. In today's world, the competition between countries is the competition of comprehensive strength. In the final analysis, the competition of comprehensive strength is the competition of talents, and an important area of talent competition is the competition of higher education. The competition of higher education is first of all the competition of high-level universities. Therefore, running high-level universities and running high-level universities well is the mission of the party in universities. The commanding heights of high-level university competition is discipline construction, so discipline construction is of decisive significance in high-level university competition.
2. High-level universities require high-level subjects
Disciplines are the basic elements of a university, and the level of subject development is an important symbol of a university’s status at home and abroad. The first-class university in the world is, first of all, because it has first-class subjects. For example, United StatesIn the 1999 university evaluation, Caltech ranked first, surpassing Harvard University and MIT. One of the main reasons is that its experimental physics and aeronautical technology have become the world's top disciplines. As Professor Tian Changlin, the former president of the University of California, Berkeley, said: Why did Caltech become such a famous university? Its take-off is due to two professors. One is Millikan, a Nobel Prize winner in physics. He made the experimental physics of this w88 casino become world-class; the other isFeng·Carmen (Mr. Qian Xuesen’s teacher), he brought up the aviation technology in the United States; with these two people and the superior disciplines led by these two people, Caltech has become world-renowned. The level of scientific research depends on the level of subject development. Only with high-level disciplines can it be possible to gather a group of high-level professors, build high-level subject teams, high-level academic bases, and form a strong academic atmosphere; only with high-level disciplines can society have a sense of identity and trust in them, and therefore it is possible to undertake major scientific research projects. It can be seen that without first-class disciplines, it is impossible to build a first-class university.
The main spirit of the 10th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in w88 casino is to unite people's hearts with the goal of discipline construction and achieve leap-forward development of the w88 casino. Why should we focus on discipline construction as the goal of uniting people? Because grasping discipline construction is not only a need for international and domestic economic and social development trends, but also a need for the development of higher education and the competitive situation of universities. It is also a need to meet the common interests of teachers, students and employees and build a harmonious campus. Because of this, the party leadership in colleges and universities must pay great attention to discipline construction.
3. High-level disciplines require high-level leadership
What kind of leadership is a high-level leadership? Maintaining the party's advanced nature is one of the important features of high-level leadership. What is advancement? For a Marxist party, advancement means standing at the forefront of the times and walking in front of the masses. Advanced nature is the fundamental characteristic of a Marxist political party. The reason why the Communist Party of China can stand out from the long-term struggles and repeated contests of various political forces, from small to large, from weak to strong, and become the ruling party is because our party can always keep pace with the development of the times, share the fate of the people, have the courage to adhere to the truth, constantly correct mistakes, and always represent the development requirements of China's advanced productive forces, the direction of China's advanced culture, and the fundamental interests of the vast majority of the Chinese people. It has and has always maintained the advanced nature of a Marxist party. Without this advanced nature, the party cannot become the core leadership of China's reform, opening up, and modernization drive. The party has always represented the development requirements of advanced productive forces, which is reflected in the fact that colleges and universities must do a good job in subject construction, continue to cultivate high-level innovative talents through high-level scientific research and innovation, continue to create scientific research results that are important to my country's socialist modernization drive, and promote the development of advanced productive forces.
2. The leadership of the party is an important guarantee for discipline construction
Colleges and universities have social functions such as cultivating senior professionals, scientific research, and social services, and the performance of these functions are all based on discipline construction. Discipline construction is a very complex systematic project. It requires the wisdom and strength of all teachers and students in the w88 casino to clarify goals, integrate resources, unite people, form synergy and achieve common development. This requires strengthening the leadership of the party. The leadership of the party is an important guarantee for discipline construction.
1. Formulating strategic decisions for discipline construction and reasonably determining the direction of discipline development require the leadership of the party.
The direction of subject development is an important issue in subject construction. In the "Catalogue of Disciplines and Majors for the Award of Doctoral and Master's Degrees and the Training of Postgraduate Students" issued by the Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council, the disciplines are divided into12 categories, 74 first-level subjects and 321 second-level subjects. This is a classification of disciplines based on the knowledge system of the discipline and taking into account the characteristics of the industry. A subject has multiple directions, and it is impossible for a university to develop all subject directions. Therefore, subject construction is primarily about the selection and determination of directions. Even comprehensive universities have the problem of determining the development direction of key subjects. Determining the direction of development is crucial, whether it is a country, a political party, an enterprise, or a w88 casino. Without a clear direction, it will be difficult for the country to become strong, for enterprises to survive, and for schools to develop. For a long time before the reform and opening up, China's development direction was "taking class struggle as the key link", which resulted in the ten years of turmoil during the Cultural Revolution and brought the national economy to the brink of collapse. After the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the party shifted its work focus and made it clear that the direction is to "center on economic construction" and implement reform and opening up. Over the past 20 years, China's economy has taken off and achieved world-renowned achievements. It can be seen that determining the direction is very important.
The core of the decision-making of university leaders is the decision-making of direction. The most important thing for party leadership in discipline construction is to reasonably determine the direction of discipline development. Because the decision-making on the direction of subject development is a major decision with strategic, overall and long-term interests. This process is a process that gathers the wisdom and enthusiasm of teachers and students in the w88 casino and brainstorms. It is a process that extensively listens to the opinions of professors and teachers, and it is a process of democratic consultation. It requires decision-makers to have the ability to have a global perspective and strategic thinking, and to analyze and judge problems from all aspects such as the overall situation of the country, the overall situation of the w88 casino, the market's demand for talents, and future predictions. This decision-making process cannot be completed by a few people, but can only rely on the leadership of the party to mobilize the enthusiasm and wisdom of teachers, students and staff to make scientific decisions.
2. Coordination, overall planning, and resource integration of discipline construction work require the leadership of the party.
Dialectical materialism believes that there are both connections and differences between things. Connections are the unity of contradictions, and differences are the principal contradictions and the main aspects of contradictions. Paying attention to the connections between things means taking all aspects into consideration; paying attention to the differences between things means grasping the main contradictions and main aspects of contradictions, that is, grasping the key points; grasping the differences and key points is policy. Without key points and differences, there will be no policy. The same is true for discipline construction work. The key points must be clearly defined and prioritized. If it is all about focus, there will be no focus. If there is no focus, there will be no breakthrough. If discipline construction is not focused on the key points and develops haphazardly, disorder and friction will occur, which will result in the loss of resources, tension between departments and interpersonal relationships, and the breakdown of the harmonious atmosphere. " implemented by the Ministry of Education985" project and "211" project construction are the ideas of giving priority to the construction of a number of high-level universities and key disciplines. The second phase of the "211" project construction should gradually form a key discipline system with a reasonable layout, each with its own characteristics and advantages across the country, promote a number of key disciplines to reach the international advanced level as soon as possible, and drive overall development through key breakthroughs. This is the national education development strategy. Therefore, the development of discipline construction must be carried out first and then, and the key points should be highlighted. The establishment of disciplines with their own characteristics must be based onDiscipline development status at home and abroad, market demand, the history and development of its own disciplinesThe current situation, the structure of the teaching team, and the selection of key disciplines for construction and development. If a university has one or several first-class subjects or unique subjects that are world-leading and have widespread influence, the w88 casino will have an impact domestically and even internationally, gain a foothold in society, and thus drive the development of the entire w88 casino's disciplines.
Once the goal is determined, it is necessary to "do something and do something", setKey discipline of human and material resources construction in China. For example, the University of California, Berkeley, has increased funding for key disciplines3%-5%, and for other subjects it is reduced by 3%-5%. Key disciplines should be tilted in terms of admission indicators, professor promotions, and housing allocation. At the same time, a competition mechanism must be established to form a competitive situation in discipline construction. In the process of subject construction, the biggest difficulty we face is the limitation and shortage of resources and funds. If we want to win in the fierce competition in higher education and quickly occupy the commanding heights, we must change the traditional thinking model, learn game thinking, make overall plans, and make reasonable arrangements so that resources and funds are first tilted towards key disciplines to ensure the construction of key disciplines. Under today's national conditions in China, if resources and funds are first tilted towards key disciplines, this will inevitably lead to a redistribution of interests and cause incomprehension and dissatisfaction among some people. Therefore, this kind of resource integration, overall consideration, and reasonable allocation can only be completed by everyone reaching a consensus, working together, and cooperating together. This kind of communication and coordination is difficult for any individual or local department to operate independently. It must rely on the leadership of the party to take over the overall situation, coordinate all parties, and form a consensus.
3. Leading talents to strengthen the w88 casino and advocating a harmonious campus require the leadership of the party.
The construction of discipline echelon is the key to discipline construction. The level of a subject depends on the level of the subject leader and the formation of the academic echelon. To build a first-class discipline, we must have first-class academic leaders and build a first-class academic echelon. Today, with the rapid development of modern science and technology, the development of any individual is inseparable from the power of the group and the cooperation and support of the academic team. The Party Central Committee’s decision on talent work stated: “Talent issues are key issues related to the development of the party and the country” and “talent resources have become the most important strategic resources.” General Secretary Hu Jintao said: "Implementing the strategy of strengthening the country through talents is an inevitable requirement to seize and make good use of strategic opportunities and cope with the increasingly fierce international competition; it is an inevitable requirement to enhance the party's governing ability and consolidate the party's ruling status." w88 casino's Party Committee implemented the strategy of strengthening the country through talents, convened a work conference on strengthening the university through talents, proposed the strategy of strengthening the university through talents, established a leading group for strengthening the university through talents, formulated a talent team building plan, and strived to create a good environment conducive to the construction of talent teams in colleges and universities, which has been highly recognized by teachers and students. However, there are still many problems in our work, especially in creating a harmonious campus and creating a harmonious, relaxed and good environment for subject construction. There is still a lot of work to be done.
Discipline construction requires a good academic atmosphere and a relaxed and harmonious campus environment. What is harmony? The "Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Strengthening the Party's Governing Capacity Building" states: "Comprehensively implement the policy of respecting labor, respecting knowledge, respecting talents, and respecting creation, constantly enhancing the creative ability of the whole society, stimulating the creative vitality of people from all walks of life, and resolutely breaking down various obstacles, so that all creative wishes that are beneficial to social progress will be respected, creative activities will be supported, creative talents will be unleashed, and creative achievements will be affirmed." This is harmony. To summarize based on the actual situation of w88 casino, it is: unity and cooperation, mutual cooperation, looseness and harmony, democracy and openness; pioneering and innovative, courageous to enterprising, not afraid of hardship, and tenacious struggle. Of course, a harmonious campus also includes a beautiful and comfortable campus environment, complete and practical infrastructure (including teaching facilities and equipment, libraries, network equipment, dormitories, etc.); harmony also includes mutual coordination and cooperation between people and between departments, mutual cooperation, tolerance and generosity, and kindness to others. Only by building a good environment that is harmonious, relaxed, conducive to innovation, conducive to competition, and conducive for talents to stand out can we attract and retain talents. This is one of the important contents of current discipline construction.
3. Strengthen the construction of advanced nature and strive to improve the ability and level of the party’s leadership in discipline construction
Discipline construction and talent team building are the foundation of the development of universities and the eternal theme of the development of universities. To create a high-level university, we must first grasp the construction of disciplines and its core task-the construction of talent teams. To uphold the party's leadership over universities, we must improve the party's ability and level to lead discipline construction and talent team building. On the whole, the w88 casino highly agrees and has formed a consensus on the strategy of focusing on discipline construction and strengthening the w88 casino with talents. However, there are still different views and disputes on important issues such as the direction of discipline development, the layout of disciplines, the priority development of key disciplines, the integration of resources, and the key disciplines to which resources and funds should be allocated first. Some party members, including some party members and leading cadres, ignore the overall situation and are accustomed to starting from local and group interests and one-sidedly emphasizing the interests of their departments and departments; the phenomenon of departmental barriers and departmental segregation still exists, resulting in the slow advancement of discipline construction; the institutional setup, work content and work content of a few grassroots party organizations The methods are not suitable for the development of discipline construction; some party members and party leading cadres have a weak sense of serving discipline construction and strengthening the w88 casino with talents, and the quality and level of work are not in place, etc. The existence of these problems has affected the realization of the goals set by the Party Congress and restricted the construction of disciplines and the leap-forward development of the w88 casino. This is a problem we should take seriously and solve.
In this educational activity to maintain the advanced nature of Communist Party members, each of our Communist Party members, regardless of teaching, scientific research, student management, teaching assistants, logistics, comrades in various departments and departments, must combine the development of the w88 casino, the construction of disciplines and the implementation of the strategy of strengthening the w88 casino with talents, and seriously reflect on their own thoughts and work. Existing problems and shortcomings in professional quality and ability, through learning, thinking, discussion, analysis, evaluation, and rectification in advanced education activities, strive to improve the ideological level and professional quality, especially to improve the ability and level of party and government leadership at all levels in w88 casino management and education, and truly implement the w88 casino development goals proposed by the Party Congress and see practical results. There are several issues that need to be clarified here:
1. Improve the firmness and consciousness of practicing the important thought of "Three Represents" and strive to improve the decision-making level of the leadership team.
Party members and leading cadres, first and foremost members of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee, must conscientiously understand the scientific connotation and spiritual essence of the important thought of "Three Represents". At present, special emphasis must be placed on using the important thought of "Three Represents" to guide practice and promote work. The foundation is to learn, and the key is to apply. Particular attention must be paid to transforming the worldview and methodology of dialectical materialism and historical materialism into new methods for solving problems that arise in the process of w88 casino reform, development, and stability. When planning and thinking about major issues such as subject construction, strengthening the w88 casino with talents, related supporting reform measures, and the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan", we must consider the overall situation of national economic construction and social development, the overall situation of w88 casino reform and development stability, and the short-term and long-term common interests of teachers and students. We must have forward-looking thinking, improve decision-making levels, and reduce decision-making errors.
2. Improve and strengthen party building work and enhance the cohesion, creativity and combat effectiveness of grassroots party organizations.
At present, some grassroots party organizations in colleges and universities do not have strong cohesion, their role is not obvious, and they do not adapt to the development of the entire w88 casino. There are many reasons. Changes in the situation have raised many new issues for party building work in colleges and universities, but we have not many new methods and measures. There are also problems such as weak self-building of grassroots party organizations in colleges and universities, inadequate staffing, and insufficient funding. In this advanced nature education activity, comrades from grassroots party organizations in various departments and departments must pay attention to the problems encountered in their work, analyze the causes, and find solutions and plans to the problems. Please pay attention to three questions:
First, new changes in the work of grassroots party organizations in colleges and universities in the new era. In the new historical period, the party's historical orientation has undergone great changes, and the work of grassroots party organizations in colleges and universities is facing many changes and challenges, such as: changes in the environment in which grassroots party organizations in colleges and universities are located; changes in the requirements of the party's governing mission for grassroots party organizations in colleges and universities; changes in the functions of grassroots party organizations in colleges and universities among grassroots organizations in society (within schools The departmental management mechanism and governance model have changed. The status of the party organization as the core of leadership and organization has not changed, but the specific functions are changing. The new situation and tasks require grassroots party organizations to better play and perform the functions of interest expression, interest integration, etc.); the relationship between the interests of grassroots party organizations and the masses has changed, etc.
Second, we must expand intra-party democracy and ensure the democratic rights of party members as the entry point for grassroots organizations to build themselves. The report of the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that "intra-party democracy is the life of the party." Colleges and universities are places where senior intellectuals gather. The professional characteristics of college professors and teachers determine their decentralized, independent, and individual characteristics. Strong democratic awareness is another distinctive feature. However, a common and prominent problem in the construction of w88 casino party members and the party's grassroots organizations is the neglect of party members' democratic rights. Especially after major changes and adjustments in the education system and personnel management system of colleges and universities, how to adopt effective methods to ensure the dominant position of w88 casino teachers and students, especially professors and teachers, in grassroots party organizations and to ensure the democratic rights of party members is an urgent problem that needs to be solved.
Third, the issue of how grassroots party organizations in colleges and universities can better serve teachers and students in the new era. In today's fierce competition among colleges and universities, various competitions between departments, disciplines, teachers, teachers and students, and students within the w88 casino are also very fierce. Whether it is subject construction or strengthening the w88 casino with talents, various major reforms and developments will bring about changes in the interest structure, which will cause dissatisfaction or friction among some personnel. Grassroots party organizations in colleges and universities should proactively think about new problems and situations that may arise in the process of deepening reforms, enhance their awareness of serving teachers and students, and pay attention to exploring the establishment of new work mechanisms that respect, understand, care for, and motivate people. We must be good at discovering and grasping ideological and cognitive issues that affect the development of disciplines, care about and understand the ideas and needs of discipline leaders, and unite people's hearts and improve synergy through grassroots party organization work.
3. Improve the quality of party members themselves and maintain the advanced nature of party members.
Improving the quality of party members themselves is the core goal of this advanced education activity. Building a team of high-quality, high-level, capable and efficient party members is of great significance to effectively promote reform and development, discipline construction, teaching and research, and achieve leap-forward development of the w88 casino.
Under the new historical conditions, what requirements do Communist Party members have to achieve to maintain their advanced nature? The Central Committee’s opinions on carrying out educational activities to maintain the advanced nature of party members clearly stated that “we must consciously study and practice Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thought of the ‘Three Represents’, firmly believe in communist ideals and socialism with Chinese characteristics, keep the overall situation in mind, care about the masses, forge ahead, pioneer and innovate, be based on the position, make selfless contributions, give full play to the vanguard and exemplary role, unite and lead the masses to move forward, and continuously contribute to the socialist modernization drive. "In his important speech at the special report meeting on maintaining the advanced nature of Communist Party members in the new era, General Secretary Hu Jintao put forward clear requirements for "six persistences" to all Communist Party members. These six aspects of requirements are interrelated and constitute a complete system for Communist Party members to maintain their advanced nature in the new era. This is a reflection for each of our Party members. Summarizing self-construction and improving personal ideological and political quality and business capabilities are highly targeted and instructive. We must carefully compare the requirements of the "Six Persistences", examine and reflect on the problems and deficiencies in our thinking and business capabilities, and pay special attention to three issues:
First, strengthen theoretical study and strengthen ideals and beliefs. The firmness of ideals and beliefs comes from the firmness of theory. A Communist Party member with profound theories and mature thinking will never waver in politics. In peacetime, we will not face life and death choices like in revolutionary war years, but everyone will encounter various difficulties and contradictions in their life's work and career development. Whether they have firm faith and tenacious will in the face of setbacks and difficulties is an important indicator of whether a Communist Party member is advanced. Therefore, we must strengthen theoretical study, learn to use Marxist positions, viewpoints, and methods to analyze and think about problems, and be a Communist Party member with firm beliefs.
Second, establish a sense of service and improve work standards. "Service" is a concept that must be clearly established in party building and ideological and political work in the new era. A core content of the important thought of "Three Represents" is to represent the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people. Specifically, every unit and every party member must adhere to the party's purpose and serve the people wholeheartedly. For us, it means serving teachers and students. Leadership is service, and management is service. In the new historical period, the relationship between the grassroots party organizations in colleges and universities and teachers and students has changed. The new relationship is a "service relationship" and the response measure is to "serve teachers and students." Higher-level party organizations serve grassroots party organizations, grassroots party organizations serve party members, and party members serve the masses. We must not only establish this concept, but also continue to learn, improve personal business capabilities and quality, and improve the level and quality of services.
Third, abide by party discipline and strengthen self-cultivation. General Secretary Hu Jintao said: "The Party's discipline is a reflection of the will of the entire Party and a code of conduct that all levels of the Party's organizations and all Party members must abide by." "Communist Party members must strictly abide by and maintain the Party's discipline." In recent years, some party members have forgotten the party's discipline, often intentionally or unintentionally ignoring the party's discipline, lacking party member awareness, and changing their opinions on decisions made by the party committee according to their personal will.
Comrades, the learning and mobilization stage of w88 casino’s educational activities to maintain the advanced nature of Communist Party members has been fully launched. Last week’s w88 casino-wide mobilization meeting was a good start. It is hoped that all Communist Party members will conscientiously study the spirit of relevant documents, strengthen thinking and communication on issues, and resolve ideological confusions and difficult issues in accordance with the requirements of the superior party organization and the advanced nature education activity plan, so that the advanced nature education activities will achieve effective results.
Thank you everyone!
