二十届中央第八轮巡视完成进驻

CCTV.com reports (Xinwen Lianbo): In accordance with the CPC Central Committee’s unified arrangements for inspection work, deployment for the eighth round of inspections by the 20th CPC Central Committee was recently completed. Fifteen central inspection teams will conduct regular inspections of the Party organizations of the Ministry of Education and 31 universities administered by the central authorities.

The institutions under inspection each held mobilization meetings to mark the inspection teams’ arrival. The heads of the central inspection teams delivered mobilization speeches, setting out requirements for thoroughly studying and implementing the guiding principles of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speeches on inspection work and for carrying out inspections effectively.

The heads of the central inspection teams pointed out that since the Party’s 18th National Congress, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has made inspections an important measure for strengthening Party building and a strategic institutional arrangement for internal Party oversight. It has guided inspection work to uphold fundamental principles while innovating and developing further, making inspections a sharp sword for Party management and governance and a powerful tool for governing the country. Education is a matter of fundamental importance to the country and the Party. Higher education plays a leading role in building a strong education system and holds an important position in the cause of the Party and the country. Inspecting the Ministry of Education and centrally administered universities is an important measure to encourage the Party organizations under inspection to uphold and strengthen the Party’s overall leadership, remain true to their founding mission of educating people for the Party and cultivating talent for the country, better serve and support high-quality development, and persistently advance full and rigorous Party self-governance. They must heighten their political awareness, truly align their thinking and actions with the CPC Central Committee’s decisions and plans, and fulfill the inspection tasks entrusted to them by the CPC Central Committee with a strong sense of responsibility and mission.

The heads of the central inspection teams stressed that the teams will thoroughly study and implement Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, particularly Xi Jinping’s thought on Party building; fully implement the guiding principles of the Party’s 20th National Congress and all plenary sessions of the 20th CPC Central Committee; and conscientiously implement the arrangements of the fifth and sixth plenary sessions of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. They will firmly grasp the fundamental task of the “Two Upholds,” thoroughly implement the guiding policy for inspection work, and precisely fulfill the requirements for political inspections. Focusing on the functions and responsibilities of the Party organizations under inspection, they will highlight key oversight priorities and closely supervise implementation of the CPC Central Committee’s major decisions and plans on education. They will closely examine fulfillment of the fundamental task of fostering virtue through education and coordinated advancement of education, science and technology, and talent development; closely examine efforts to prevent and defuse risks; and closely examine rigorous Party management and governance, leadership teams and personnel development, and primary-level Party organization development. They will strive to identify and promote solutions to outstanding problems, providing a strong guarantee for strengthening Party leadership and Party building and advancing high-quality development in education.

The principal officials of the Party organizations under inspection stated that they will thoroughly study and implement General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important statements on inspection work, fulfill their political responsibilities, work jointly on the same tasks, actively support and cooperate with the inspections, willingly accept oversight, conscientiously carry out rectification, and implement the Party’s education policy in full, putting the “Two Upholds” into practice through concrete actions in fulfilling their duties.

It is understood that the 15 central inspection teams will work at the institutions under inspection for approximately two months. During the inspections, dedicated duty telephone numbers and postal mailboxes will be established, primarily to receive letters, calls, and visits reporting problems concerning the leadership teams and members of the Party organizations under inspection, as well as principal officials of Party organizations at the next lower level. The focus will be on reports and complaints concerning violations of political discipline, organizational discipline, integrity discipline, discipline concerning relations with the public, work discipline, and discipline in personal conduct. The inspection teams will accept petitions and reports until December 21, 2026.
