近日，教育部等六部门联合印发了《义务教育质量评价指南》，旨在促进学生全面发展，克服教育领域唯分数、唯升学、唯文凭、唯论文、唯帽子的顽瘴痼疾。

The Ministry of Education (MOE) and five other Party and governmental authorities have jointly issued a document to guide the evaluation of the country's compulsory education quality, in a bid to promote the well-rounded development of students. The document aims to get rid of the mania surrounding scores, enrollment rates, academic diplomas, papers and titles in the education sector.

坚持社会主义办学方向，坚持教育公益性原则，办好人民满意的教育。

We should stick to the socialist orientation in running schools, the non-profit nature of education and developing education that people are satisfied with.

——2021年3月6日，习近平看望参加全国政协十三届四次会议的医药卫生界、教育界委员并参加联组会时强调

基础教育是立德树人的事业，要旗帜鲜明加强思想政治教育、品德教育，加强社会主义核心价值观教育，引导学生自尊自信自立自强。

Basic education fosters virtues. The teaching of ideology, ethics and socialist core values should be reinforced in order to help students become people with strong sense of self-esteem, self-confidence, self-reliance and self-improvement.
