Jiang Bin: Carrying out military training among students in ordinary colleges and universities and high schools is an important measure to implement the National Defense Law, Education Law and National Defense Education Law. It is an important link in achieving moral integrity and cultivating people. It is an important way for young students to sharpen their courage and enhance their concept of national defense. This year, the military has selected and dispatched nearly 500,000 certified military training instructors and organized military training tasks for nearly 30 million students in more than 20,000 schools across the country. The military literacy, tenacious style, and discipline concepts of young students have been generally improved, and the social response has been good. Currently, the Ministry of Education and the National Defense Mobilization Department of the Central Military Commission are revising and improving the student military training syllabus and optimizing the operating mechanism, including updating training content and enriching the use of intelligent information-based teaching methods in conjunction with the characteristics of the new era. They are also conducting trial training in some provinces to continue to promote the development of student military training to higher quality.
Military training is not just queues and sweat, but also the forging and growth of youth. I hope that the majority of young students will cherish this camouflage time, hone their perseverance, cultivate their feelings for their family and country, turn the hard work of military training into the power of learning, and strive to become good young people in the new era who have ideals, dare to take responsibility, endure hardship, and are willing to work hard.
