Instructional materials

Some are specific to charter schools, but there are many requirements that apply to all public schools.

Let's walk through some of the other information families and members of the public should f- be able to find, including the school calendar, enrollment information, fiscal policies, information about instructional materials, civic information, teacher licensing, other specific school policies, and additional programs available to students.

There's a lot there.

This political framing of education is consistent with Teaching Materials No. 6, 2020, a directive issued jointly by the CCP's Central Propaganda Department and Ministry of Education on December 18, 2020.

It assigns the two departments responsibility for organizing the writing of mandatory university course materials, and directs provincial propaganda departments to implement the curriculum from the perspective of fulfilling ideology work responsibility systems.

On July 21, 2021, four years after the State Council established the National Textbook Committee, the committee issued National Teaching Materials No. 2, 2021.

The document mandates the integration of Xi Jinping thought on socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era into every subject and level of education, including foreign languages.

The following month, the Ministry of Education issued guidelines requiring Xi Jinping thought to be taught from primary school through university, expanding a requirement that had applied only to universities since 2020.
