今天是9月10日教師節。回溯1985年改革開放後第一屆教師節，對全國老師及中國教育的意義重大。

改革開放復辦高考 重塑教師地位

1970年代，中國教育水平低落，十年浩勢令國家在經濟、社會及教育停滯不前。改革開放之前，知識份子在文革期間遭到衝擊及不公平對待，老師被嘲「臭老九」，校園失序一片混亂，學校被逼停課。

文革結束後，中國於 1977年復辦高考 ，培育人才，扭轉國家命運。儘管文革後一些老師獲得平反，但社會風氣尚未調整過來，老師的社會地位仍然不高。

改革開放之前，知識份子在十年浩劫中受到衝擊，社會地位低微，那年代很多男教師都難以找到對象。（圖片來源：Getty）

鄧小平：抓好教育工作 推動改革開放發展

1985年，中共中央及國務院在北京召開第一次全國教育工作會議，鄧小平在閉幕禮上直言，教育是全黨全國的重點工作，強調要抓好教育工作，才是具遠見、成熟的領導者。這番話，為改革開放後的中國教育改革打下強心針。

同年5月，國家印發《中共中央關於教育體制改革的決定》，針對社會主義現代化，加強基礎教育落實，廣泛職業技術，發揮高等院校潛力活力。幾個月後、即1985年今日，國家舉辦第一屆教師節，肯定教師的付出，也展示對中國教育事業及人才培訓的重視。那時國家剛改革開放，設立教師節宏揚尊師重道的傳統，提高教師地位，對老師和社會而言都有必要性。

1987，中共首次在十三大提出「百年大計，教育為本」，提到要振興國家，必先提高人民質素。而其實鄧小平早在1983年已提出「三個面向」，提出「教育要面向現代化，面向世界，面向未來」。（圖片來源：Getty）

「百年大計 教育為本」 振興國家靠教育

1987年，中共首次在十三大提出「百年大計，教育為本」，提到要振興國家，必先提高人民質素；而教育大計，則以教師為本，教師的權益及社會地位，逐漸得到提升。1993年通過的《教師法》，更把尊師重教方針提升至法律層面。

隨着中國義務教育法在1986年實施，如今中國大部分地區基本實現普及教育。在建國初期，中國文盲率達80%，目前中國高中階段入學率已達88%，每年近900萬人從高等院校畢業。

教師節，既是對每位春風化雨老師的肯定，也是對這班改革開放後默默無聞、為中國作育英材老師的讚賞。

1) China has 59 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, ranking second in the world.

2) Soft power is non-coercive, using culture, political values, and foreign policies to enact change. China's cultural heritage plays a crucial role in shaping the global perception of its soft power in multiple dimensions. One of the aspects is the advocacy of traditional arts and philosophies, including calligraphy, painting, and martial arts. These cultural practices reflect values such as harmony, respect, and balance, which draw international interest in China's ancient wisdom and artistic endeavors. The widespread appeal of tai chi and traditional Chinese medicine contributes to a favorable image of China as a guardian of holistic health practices. Moreover, the influence of Chinese cinema is significant, as films that weave in traditional folklore and historical narratives share cultural stories with global audiences. Productions like “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” and “The Wandering Earth” combine action with themes about Chinese mythology and contemporary challenges, thereby educating viewers about Chinese values and societal viewpoints. Thus, this can enrich the understanding of China's cultural richness and sophistication and bolstering its soft power strategy.

3) The international success of Chinese films can reshape perceptions of Chinese culture and values in several ways. Successful films provide authentic narratives that help audiences move beyond stereotypes, while movies like “The Wandering Earth” foster empathy for Chinese perspectives. The diversity of genres showcases the creativity of Chinese filmmakers, highlighting a vibrant cinema. Additionally, these films often address contemporary social issues, prompting discussions that bridge cultural gaps. Their popularity abroad encourages collaborations, enhancing mutual understanding and promoting China's cultural values, thereby improving its global image. Overall, these films significantly enhance global appreciation of Chinese culture and values.

1. What is the importance of achievements in China’s education?

First, China’s achievement in education drives economic development. A well-educated workforce is essential for China's rapid economic growth and modernization efforts since the late 1970s. Achievements in education contribute to the development of technical skills necessary for fulfilling the needs of a modern economy, particularly in science and engineering fields.

Secondly, it enhances the global competitiveness of China. Achievements in education are crucial for fostering innovation and research capabilities that can compete on a global scale. The increasing numbers of Chinese students studying abroad reflect a desire to gain international qualifications and experiences, enhancing China's global competitiveness.

Thirdly, it gives China national pride and identity. Educational success is often linked to national pride, as high academic achievements in international

assessments can enhance China's image on the world stage.The government promotes educational achievements as a reflection of national strength and progress, aligning with broader political goals.

2. What role do you believe government policies have played in driving improvements in educational quality and access in China?

Government policies have played an important role in significantly improving the quality and access to education in China.

Regarding the quality of education, China has increased its investment  in education, through funding infrastructural development, teacher training and educational resources. With enhanced financial support, facilities and teaching materials can be improved, contributing to higher education quality. Regarding access to education, the Nine-year compulsory education policy in China has helped China achieve universal primary education. It enables students over six years old nationwide to get free education at both primary schools (grade 1 to 6) and junior secondary schools (grade 7 to 9), reducing illiteracy rate. China also subsidised rural students and impoverished families to allow greater access to education.

3. What did the Chinese government publish in order to strengthen the foundation of education in China?

They published the Decision of the Reform of Education System of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (中共中央關於教育體制改革的決定) in May 1985 to strengthen the foundation of education in China and also to unleash the potential of universities in China.

China's technological achievements have significantly enhanced its overall national strength through multifaceted means.

Economically, China's innovation-driven economy has transformed it into a global manufacturing hub, increasing productivity and economic output, while investment in high-tech industries has fostered diversification and resilience.

Socially, China's technological independence, achieved by developing its own chips and systems, has reduced reliance on foreign technology and allowed for better control over hardware vulnerabilities, mitigating risks of espionage and cyberattacks.

Globally, China's technological leadership enables it to shape international standards and practices, particularly in emerging fields, while the promotion of domestic social media platforms serves as a conduit for exporting Chinese culture and narratives, bolstering its global influence and soft power.

Together, these technological advancements have strengthened China's economic growth, social network security, and global standing, cementing its position as a technological powerhouse with enhanced overall national strength.

As the salt lake contains different minerals, the presence of these minerals can lead to varying colour based on their concentration. Also there are certain types of algae and microorganisms present in environments, and they can produce pigments that colour the water like some algae can create red or pink colour.

China faces significant challenges today in sustaining its technological growth, many of which contrast sharply with those encountered prior to the reform and opening up that began in the late 1970s. A critical issue is the escalating geopolitical tension, particularly with the United States. The trade war and sanctions, especially in key sectors like semiconductors, have created a hostile environment for Chinese tech firms. Unlike the pre-reform era, when China was largely isolated, today's challenges exist within a framework of global interdependence, necessitating careful navigation of international relations to achieve technological self-sufficiency.

The tightening regulatory environment also presents a major challenge. Recent crackdowns on tech giants, driven by concerns over data privacy and monopolistic practices, aim to create a fairer market but can stifle innovation and create uncertainty. In contrast, the pre-reform government predominantly controlled industry, often suppressing private enterprise. Today, the challenge lies in balancing necessary regulation with the need for a vibrant, competitive tech sector.

Supply chain vulnerabilities have emerged as another critical issue, particularly highlighted by disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic. China's reliance on imported components starkly contrasts with its previous focus on self-sufficiency. Building resilient supply chains to withstand global disruptions has become essential.

Additionally, talent shortages in specialized fields like artificial intelligence and quantum computing pose significant hurdles. While China has a large workforce, the competition for highly skilled professionals is intense, requiring a shift from mass education to cultivating expertise.

Finally, environmental concerns are increasingly relevant. Rapid technological expansion has raised ecological challenges, and unlike the pre-reform era, there is now a strong emphasis on sustainable development. Balancing technological advancement with environmental responsibility is crucial for China’s long-term growth. Addressing these complex challenges is vital for maintaining its position in the global market.

National strength is a basic and important foundation for a country to develop. Natural resources enhances the hard power and soft power of China, enhancing China’s national strength. By proactively exploring new energy under the direction of sustainable development and ﻿﻿enhancing the role and value of natural resources, China’s national strength can be further elevated. A positive international and environmental-friendly image is created by conserving natural resources and exploring new energy for sustainable development. China has restored the ecological environment, greening the country for the people, thus increasing its national strength.

3. China's national defense building emphasizes modernization, with a focus on technological advancement and strengthening military capabilities to protect national sovereignty, security, and development interests. The Chinese government is committed to enhancing the quality and efficiency of its military forces. China's overall national defense building is characterized by a defensive posture, aimed at safeguarding national interests rather than pursuing aggressive expansion. The National People's Congress plays a crucial role in formulating and approving laws related to national defense, ensuring that the military aligns with national policies and objectives.

Firstly, the rise of AI has led to a significant increase in job openings, particularly in specialized areas like natural language processing and deep learning. This growth indicates a shift towards more advanced and potentially higher-paying job opportunities. Additionally, the use of AI also reshape the development in terms of innovation and economic. It drives innovation across various sectors, encouraging the development of new products and services.

On the other hand, the use of AI has lead to the some job displacement, as AI technologies have begun to replace certain roles, particularly in clerical and customer service positions, leading to job losses in these areas. Moreover,

the fast-evolving nature of AI requires workers to engage in lifelong learning to stay competitive, which can be a significant burden for many. Last but not least as AI favors individuals with advanced skills, there may be a growing divide between those who can adapt and those who cannot, exacerbating inequality in the job market.
