On December 7th last year, the top leaders delivered a speech at the National Conference on Ideological and Political Work in Colleges and Universities, giving guidance to the education work in colleges and universities. The speech also pointed out that the ideological and political work in colleges and universities is related to what kind of people colleges and universities train, how to train people and for whom.
On the same day, the Supreme Leader commented on the post-95 college students for the first time:
At present, most college students are born after 1995. In two years, teenagers born in the new century will also enter college campuses. They are full of vigor and vitality, eager to learn, broad vision, open and confident, and they are a lovely, credible and promising generation. We have full trust and high hopes for contemporary college students, the Party and the people.

In the course of history and people’s choice, Marxism has become the fundamental guiding ideology for building the party and the country, and it has also become the bright background of our universities. We should make great determination to train a group of Marxist scholars with firm stand, solid foundation and rich experience, especially a large number of young Marxists. Under the guidance of Marxism, we should advocate the exchange of various academic ideas and schools, and advocate the wide acceptance of various ideas and cultures to form a vivid situation in which a hundred flowers blossom, a hundred schools of thought contend and innovate and develop.
Supreme Leader: The socialist core values should run through the whole process of running schools and educating people in colleges and universities.
We emphasize school education and educating people, putting morality, intelligence, physical beauty and moral education first, which means that colleges and universities should become a melting pot for forging outstanding young people.

Supreme Leader: The school spirit and style of study in colleges and universities are just like sunshine and air determining the growth of everything.
The school spirit and style of study of a university, just as sunshine and air determine the growth of everything, directly affect students’ learning and growth. Good school spirit and style of study can create a good climate and ecology for students’ learning and growth, and ideological and political work can moisten things silently and give students life enlightenment, wisdom and spiritual strength. Teachers should teach carefully, students should study carefully, improve their realm through learning, and sublimate their temperament through reading and learning, so as to learn to nurture people, govern their minds and cultivate their nature. Learning is the main task of students, and the learning process is also the process of tempering students’ minds. Many students’ conduct should be formed in learning. Good school spirit and style of study come from the joint efforts of teachers and students, and its foundation lies in the direction of running a school and the level of governance.
Supreme Leader: Inspire the youthful dream with the Chinese dream, light the ideal lamp for students and light the way forward.
If the younger generation has ideals and responsibilities, the country will have a future and the nation will have hope. Today, the golden period of college students’ life is completely consistent with the realization of the goal of "two hundred years". It is a great fortune in life to personally participate in this great historical process and realize the long-cherished wish of several generations of Chinese. The stage of modern students’s achievements is unprecedented, and the prospect of his dreams coming true is bright. Correctly understand the responsibility and historical mission of the times, use the Chinese dream to stimulate the dream of youth, light the ideal lamp for students, illuminate the way forward, encourage students to consciously integrate their personal ideal pursuit into the cause of the country and the nation, and be brave in being pioneers and pioneers in the forefront of the times; Correctly understand lofty aspirations and down-to-earth, cherish youth and down-to-earth, put lofty aspirations into practical actions, make diligent study the driving force of youth flying, and make growth skills the energy of youth fighting.
Supreme Leader: Ideological and political work in colleges and universities is a process of solving doubts and doubts.
In fact, ideological and political work in colleges and universities is a process of solving doubts and doubts. On the macro level, it is a process of answering questions about who to train, what kind of people to train and how to train people. On the micro level, it is a process of answering students’ questions about where to exert oneself in life, who to treat with affection, how to be attentive and what kind of people to be. It is necessary to respond to students’ real confusion in learning, living, social practice, film and television dramas and public opinion debates in a timely manner. Improving the affinity and pertinence of ideological and political education to meet the needs and expectations of students’ growth and development is the key to improve the timeliness of ideological and political work in colleges and universities under the new situation.
Supreme Leader: Culture nourishes the soul, culture nurtures virtue, and culture leads fashion.
We should pay attention to cultural infiltration, infection and edification, not only to explicit education, but also to subtle invisible education, so as to achieve the effect of long-term self-admiration in the room of Zhilan. If young people want to grow into pillars of the country, they should not only study in thousands of books, but also take the road of Wan Li. College students’ teaching, sending knowledge to the countryside, volunteering and other activities all show students’ style and feelings of serving the society and the motherland. It is in such social practice and social activities that many students have established their feelings for the people, their responsibilities to society and their loyalty to the country.

Supreme Leader: Teachers should be "Mr. Big" to shape students’ character, conduct and taste.
What teachers do is to spread knowledge, ideas and truth, and to shape the soul, life and people. Teachers should not only be teachers who impart book knowledge, but also be "big gentlemen" who shape students’ character, conduct and taste. The knowledge that teachers teach students may be out of date and forgotten after many years, but the truth of teaching students how to behave is the wealth of students’ life, which will make them unforgettable all their lives. Teachers should be the mirror of students’ life, lead by example, win students’ admiration with noble personality charm, set an example for students with exemplary words and deeds, and spread the seeds of truth, goodness and beauty to students’ hearts.

The ideological and political work team in colleges and universities is conscientious, willing to contribute, and has made important contributions to the development of higher education. Practice has proved that this is an indispensable team and a trustworthy team. Party committees, governments and universities at all levels should care about the growth of ideological and political work teams as much as they care about the growth of teaching and scientific research backbones, so that they can work with conditions, have a platform for officials, have guaranteed treatment and have room for development, and maximize their enthusiasm, initiative and creativity.
