Xinhua, Kunming, June 3 — From June 1 to 2, Ding Xuexiang, member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Central Committee Political Bureau and Vice Premier of the State Council, conducted an inspection in Yunnan on basic education and related work. He stressed the need to earnestly study and implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions, comprehensively implement the Party's education policy, deeply advance the high-quality development of basic education, and ensure that the building of a strong education nation proceeds steadily and far.

新华社昆明6月3日电 6月1日至2日，中共中央政治局常委、国务院副总理丁薛祥在云南调研基础教育等工作。他强调，要认真学习贯彻习近平总书记重要指示精神，全面贯彻党的教育方针，深入推进基础教育高质量发展，推动教育强国建设行稳致远。

Ding Xuexiang visited the Wenshan Zhuang and Miao Autonomous Prefecture Kindergarten, Wenshan City No. 11 Primary School, and Wenshan City No. 1 Middle School, learning about the optimal allocation of education resources and the development of urban and rural basic education. He said that in building a strong education nation, the foundation lies in basic education. We must implement the fundamental task of fostering virtue through education, and persevere in using Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era to cast soul and educate people. We must respect the laws of education, put into practice the educational philosophy of "health first," coordinate the advancement of the "double reduction" policy and the improvement of teaching quality, and cultivate socialist builders and successors who develop in an all-around way in moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor terms. Adapting to demographic changes and the new expectations of the people, we must advance high-quality and universal preschool education, high-quality and balanced compulsory education, and diversified development in high school education. Yunnan is a borderland ethnic-minority region; we must comprehensively raise the level of school operations, attach importance to the development of county-level high schools, properly solve the difficulties and problems facing small-scale rural schools and left-behind rural children, build every school well, teach every child well, forge a strong sense of community of the Chinese nation, and run education that satisfies the people of all ethnic groups.

丁薛祥前往文山壮族苗族自治州幼儿园、文山市第十一小学和第一中学，了解教育资源优化配置、城乡基础教育发展等情况。他表示，建设教育强国，基点在基础教育。要落实立德树人根本任务，坚持不懈用习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想铸魂育人。尊重教育规律，践行健康第一教育理念，统筹推进“双减”和教学质量提升，培养德智体美劳全面发展的社会主义建设者和接班人。适应人口变化和人民群众新期盼，推进学前教育优质普惠、义务教育优质均衡、高中教育多样化发展。云南是边疆民族地区，要整体提升办学水平，重视县中发展，解决好乡村小规模学校、农村留守儿童面临的困难和问题，建好每一所学校，教好每一个孩子，铸牢中华民族共同体意识，办好各族群众满意的教育。

Ding Xuexiang went to Yunnan Normal University, where he conducted research on the cultivation of basic-education teaching staff. He pointed out that strengthening education requires first strengthening teachers, and normal universities must focus on their main responsibility and main work of teacher education, strengthen teaching and research, deepen reform of cultivation models, do a good job of teacher training, and continuously supply high-quality teaching personnel. While visiting the Museum of the National Southwestern Associated University, Ding Xuexiang said that education is closely linked to the country's future and destiny, and that its primary attribute is its political attribute. We must inherit the red gene, hold firmly to the original aspiration of serving the country through education, educate people for the Party and cultivate talent for the nation, and provide strong support for the great cause of building a strong country and national rejuvenation.

丁薛祥来到云南师范大学，调研基础教育师资队伍培养等情况。他指出，强教必先强师，师范院校要聚焦教师教育主责主业，加强教学研究，深化培养模式改革，抓好教师培训，源源不断输送高素质师资。在参观西南联大博物馆时，丁薛祥表示，教育同国家前途命运紧密相连，第一属性是政治属性。要传承红色基因，坚守教育报国初心，为党育人、为国育才，有力支撑强国建设、民族复兴伟业。

With the 2026 gaokao imminent, Ding Xuexiang inspected gaokao preparations at Wenshan City No. 1 Middle School. He said the gaokao is an important examination for every candidate and bears on countless families, and is also a test of the safeguarding capacity of localities and relevant departments. We must approach organizational work with an extremely responsible attitude, and ensure full preparation so that nothing goes wrong. We must strengthen management and services covering transportation, food, lodging, and hygiene, respond to and dispose of all types of contingencies in a timely manner, and create a reassuring and supportive examination environment. We must strictly oversee the entire test-paper process, sternly crack down on exam cheating, strictly enforce admissions discipline, and hold firmly to the bottom line of fairness and justice.

2026年高考在即，丁薛祥在文山市第一中学检查高考准备情况。他说，高考对每个考生都是重要考试，关系到千家万户，对各地各有关部门的保障能力也是一次考试。要以极端负责的态度做好组织工作，以万全准备确保万无一失。加强交通出行、食宿卫生等管理服务，及时应对处置各类突发事件，营造安心暖心考试环境。严格试卷全流程监管，严厉打击考试舞弊行为，严肃招录纪律，守好公平公正底线。

Ding Xuexiang visited Dianchi Lake and the Yunnan Construction & Investment Phosphogypsum Company, where he conducted research on ecological environment protection and governance work. He pointed out that Yunnan holds an important ecological position; we must uphold Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization as our guide, put into practice the concept that lucid waters and lush mountains are gold and silver mountains, unswervingly take the path of ecology first and green development, and consolidate the ecological security barrier of southwest China. We must deeply wage the tough battle of pollution prevention and control, strengthen the comprehensive management of solid waste, continuously advance the protection of plateau lakes and the restoration of important ecosystems, and safeguard the blue skies, clear waters, and clean lands of colorful Yunnan.

丁薛祥来到滇池和云南建投磷石膏公司，调研生态环境保护和治理工作。他指出，云南生态地位重要，要坚持以习近平生态文明思想为指导，践行绿水青山就是金山银山理念，坚定不移走生态优先、绿色发展之路，筑牢我国西南生态安全屏障。深入打好污染防治攻坚战，加强固体废物综合治理，持续推进高原湖泊保护和重要生态系统修复，守护好七彩云南的蓝天、碧水、净土。
