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 fulfill the planning for vocational education curriculum reform and textbook development proposed in the "Action Plan for Education Revitalization in the 21st Century," in accordance with the "Opinions on the Declaration, Establishment, and Management of National Planning Textbooks for Secondary Vocational Education" (No. [2001]1 of the Ministry of Education), the Ministry of Education organized efforts to plan and compile textbooks for moral education courses, cultural foundation courses, professional and technical foundation courses, and the main courses of 80 key construction specialties 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 planning textbooks will be successively provided for selection by various secondary vocational schools. The national planning textbooks are compiled based on the teaching syllabi newly promulgated by the Ministry of Education for moral education courses, cultural foundation courses, professional and technical foundation courses, and the main courses of 80 key construction specialties, and have been approved by the National Textbook Review Committee for Secondary Vocational Education. 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 structure, and explanatory methods. The new textbooks adopt a "one syllabus, multiple textbooks" approach, striving to provide comparative and selective options for textbook selection to meet the teaching needs of different academic systems, disciplines, and educational conditions.
