Liu Jianjun Attends and Delivers a Speech

On behalf of the municipal Party committee and government, Liu Jianjun extended festive greetings to all teachers and education workers in the city. He noted that Weifang has long prioritized the development of education, focused on building a sound educational ecosystem, and continuously advanced the high-quality development of the education sector. Departments at all levels should thoroughly study and implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's important statements on education, follow the requirements of the provincial and municipal governments, remain pioneering and pragmatic, and accelerate the building of a modern and strong city in education. He stressed the need to fully implement the fundamental task of fostering virtue through education, pool the efforts of multiple stakeholders in cultivating talent, safeguard campus safety, and create a new ecosystem for virtue cultivation in all environments. Efforts should be made to accelerate the development of a "fair and high-quality" basic education system and expand the supply of quality resources. It is essential to promote the coordinated development of education, science and technology, and talent, while serving the integration and mutual promotion of the talent chain, industrial chain, innovation chain, and education chain. Reform and innovation should be leveraged as the key driver to explore a path of educational digital intelligence with Weifang characteristics. Greater emphasis should be placed on building teachers' ethics and conduct, creating a high-quality and professional teaching workforce, and cultivating a group of expert-level Party secretaries and principals. Care and support for teachers should be enhanced, the story of Weifang's education should be told well, and a strong social atmosphere that respects teachers and values education should be fostered.

At the meeting, awards were presented to exemplary teachers in Weifang, winners of the special prize for teaching achievements, and the third batch of the "Top Ten Secretaries and Principals Who Dare to Act and Excel".
