The General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council General
Office issued Opinions on advancing classified higher‑education reform, setting
out a systematic plan. The document instructs reforms to be guided by Xi Jinping
Thought, to uphold the Party’s overall leadership and socialist orientation and
to adhere to the ‘seek progress while maintaining stability’ principle; it calls
for adapting to higher‑education universalization and demographic shifts,
aligning talent development with national strategic needs, and using overall
planning, category‑specific reform and scientific evaluation to build a
stronger, more excellent higher‑education system and accelerate construction of
an education‑strong China.
