Guided by the Scientific Outlook on Development, the conference comprehensively analyzed the current situation and tasks facing teacher education and the construction of primary and secondary school teacher teams across the country, shared recent innovative experiences from various regions, discussed the overall ideas and key priorities for reform, development, and the construction of teacher education and primary and secondary school teacher teams in the new context, and outlined the work for 2005.

The conference, along with a series of important documents recently issued by the Ministry of Education, holds significant importance for guiding and promoting the work of teacher education and the construction of primary and secondary school teacher teams in the coming period.
