Features: In order to implement the spirit of the "Decision of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on Deepening Educational Reform and Comprehensively Promoting Quality Education" and the implementation plan of the "Education Revitalization Plan for the 21st Century" proposed in the vocational education curriculum reform and textbook development plan, in accordance with the spirit of the "Opinions on the Declaration, Establishment, and Management of National Planned Textbooks for Secondary Vocational Education" (No. [200111] of the Ministry of Education), the Ministry of Education organized efforts to plan and write textbooks for moral education courses, cultural foundation courses, professional and technical foundation courses, and the main courses of 80 key construction majors that play a supporting role in achieving the training objectives of secondary vocational education and ensuring basic teaching standards. Starting from the autumn semester of 2001, national planned textbooks will be successively provided for selection by various secondary vocational schools. National planned textbooks are written according to the teaching syllabi for moral education courses, cultural foundation courses, professional and technical foundation courses, and the main courses of 80 key construction majors newly promulgated by the Ministry of Education, and have been approved by the National Secondary Vocational Education Textbook Appraisal Committee. The new textbooks fully implement the concept of quality education, starting from the actual needs of high-quality laborers and intermediate and primary specialized talents required by social development, and emphasize the cultivation of students' innovative spirit and practical abilities. The new textbooks have made some new attempts in terms of theoretical systems, organizational structures, and explanatory methods. The new textbooks adopt a one-syllabus, multiple-books approach, striving to provide more options and choices for textbook selection to meet the teaching needs of different academic systems, majors, and educational conditions. It is hoped that local governments and departments will actively promote and adopt national planned textbooks, pay attention to summarizing experience in the process of use, and promptly propose revisions and suggestions for improvement, so that they can be continuously improved and enhanced.
