Xinhuanet Beijing, September 30th (Reporter Li Yajie) Zhang Xueying, a farmer from Zhengchang Village, Tunzi Town, Xunxian County, Henan Province, used the modern distance education information service station in the village to post her own stone carving works online. In June this year, a scenic spot in Jidong County, Heilongjiang Province signed a stone carving work with her with a total value of more than 4 million yuan, equivalent to four times the amount of orders she received in the past year. She boasted to everyone: "Distance education really helped me a lot."
In view of the fact that being a pilot in the central region is more important than rural areas and the task of developing distance education is heavy, Henan actively explores new ways to develop modern distance education in line with local conditions. At present, more than 47,000 terminal receiving stations have been built and opened, which are vividly called "through train" to publicize the Party’s principles and policies, "booster" to improve the quality of cadres in rural party member, and "heart-to-heart bridge" to close the relationship between the party and the masses.
Since the development of modern distance education for cadres in rural party member, cadres and masses in rural party member have been able to hear the voice of the CPC Central Committee and learn the relevant principles and policies of the central government without leaving the village, which has narrowed the distance between the central government and the rural grassroots and promoted the smooth implementation of the Party’s principles and policies in rural areas to thousands of households. At the same time, the cadres and the masses in rural party member obtained information, changed their ideas, developed production, and achieved great economic benefits, which provided strong support for the construction of new socialist countryside.
Pilot first scientific planning and classified implementation
At the beginning of 2003, in order to conscientiously implement the spirit of the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and actively explore effective ways for rural party member cadres to receive regular education and benefit farmers for a long time, the central government decided to start the pilot project of modern distance education for rural party member cadres in Shandong in the east, Hunan in the middle, Guizhou in the west and Jinzhai County in Anhui Province.
At the beginning of 2005, the pilot areas were expanded to nine provinces and regions, including Shanxi, Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Henan, Sichuan and Xinjiang. By the end of 2006, the whole pilot project was basically completed. After nearly four years of pilot work, more than 200,000 terminal sites have been built, nearly 40,000 teaching materials and courseware have been integrated and developed, and a backbone team of 300,000 people has been established, with more than 200 million rural party member cadres and farmers receiving education and training.
Through modern distance education, the cadres and the masses in rural party member in the pilot areas have improved their comprehensive quality, enhanced their ability to start a business and become rich, and further strengthened the relationship between the party and the masses.
With the approval of the Central Committee, the National Conference on Modern Distance Education for party member Cadres in Rural Areas, held on April 28th this year, made a comprehensive arrangement for developing modern distance education for party member cadres in rural areas throughout the country. On July 4th, the General Office of the Central Committee of the CPC issued "Opinions on Developing Modern Distance Education for party member Cadres in Rural Areas of China". The central government’s overall arrangement for the modern distance education of rural party member cadres is: from the second half of 2007 to the end of 2010, it will take three to four years to basically build a modern distance education network system for rural party member cadres throughout the country, complete the task of infrastructure construction, and basically achieve full coverage of sites in towns and villages.
According to this overall goal and local conditions, all localities have promoted various constructions step by step. The three provinces that were piloted in advance further consolidated and improved the management and use level of the established sites. Shandong decided to establish a centralized study day system for cadres in rural party member in an all-round way, and started the implementation of the "party member cadres’ modern distance education project to get rich through science and technology"; Hunan carried out the model of distance teaching and the selection of "Yuan Longping Science and Technology Award" to promote the in-depth development of learning and application; Guizhou has made great efforts to build a number of excellent demonstration sites of "village-school combination" and continuously improve the level of distance education in the province.
Nine provinces and autonomous regions that have expanded the pilot project will speed up the construction progress on the existing basis, realize full site coverage in towns and villages by the end of 2008, and carry out work in improving the mechanism, strengthening management and deep chemical utilization. In accordance with the principle of "integrating resources, co-constructing and sharing", Henan has further explored the methods of joint construction of infrastructure, joint investment of human resources, joint production of teaching materials and courseware, and joint efforts of education and training to further promote modern distance education.
According to reports, the 19 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps that have started this work will complete the task of infrastructure construction by the end of 2010 and achieve full coverage of sites in towns and villages. The eastern region will appropriately accelerate the pace of construction, and the central and western regions will steadily promote various constructions according to actual conditions.
Learning policy broadens one’s horizons and leads to wealth.
"Hello,’ Director Shi’? My family’s Kaite apricot is going to go to the greenhouse. Is there a program on this?" Early in the morning, Shi Chengguan, a distance education administrator in Shijia Village, Pingyi County, Shandong Province, received a phone call from the villager Chu Yongcai. "As it happens, the distance education program has just downloaded the greenhouse cultivation technology of Kaite apricot, and it will be broadcast until 10 o’clock for you. What do you think?"
In the summer of 2004, a reception site for modern distance education for rural party member cadres was built in Shijia Village, and the rich and colorful content of distance education programs became the "golden key" for villagers to get rich. When the administrator becomes an official, he insists on downloading distance education programs every day and organizing party member people to study and watch them at least once a week. In order to meet the individual needs of farmers, the village invested in new professional equipment, laid cables and delivered distance education programs to every household, which was affectionately called "Distance Education TV Station" by farmers. In order to enrich the content of the program, the village also purchased more than 3,000 educational CDs as auxiliary teaching materials. After the opening of "Distance Education TV Station", it was warmly welcomed by the peasants. Anyone who wants to watch any program can just call the administrator.
Since the opening of the "Distance Education TV Station" in Shijia Village for three years, it has brought benefits to the peasants in the village, and the feelings between cadres and the masses have also drawn closer. Shi Chengxue, who has been the secretary of the village party branch for many years, said with emotion: "It is distance education that has brought me a panacea and taught me how to be a good village cadre!"
Around the central government’s major decision-making, major activities and key work, all localities have organized the production of learning materials for the key, difficult and hot issues concerned by rural party member cadres and farmers, and timely carried out special education and training to give full play to the role of modern distance education for rural party member cadres.
In the activities of advanced education, grass-roots party organizations around the country use modern distance education to organize party member to study, which enhances the attraction and improves the participation rate. In the process of promoting the construction of new socialist countryside, modern distance education network system has been used in various places to publicize and educate the policies, measures and experiences of the rural party member cadres and farmers, which has increased the talents of rural cadres and party member and trained a group of new farmers who are literate, know technology and can operate.
In view of the fact that local farmers lack ideas and methods to get rich, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province produced "Thirty-six Strategies for Rich Villages", which was very popular after broadcast. The Party branch of Alashan Village, xinyuan county, Xinjiang, organized local herdsmen to watch the technical training materials of "Mujiale" tourism and catering service at the receiving site, which solved their problems of ideological emancipation and technical training difficulties and promoted the development of tourism. In 2006, there were 20 "Mujiale" in this village, and the monthly net income of each family reached more than 5,000 yuan in the golden season of tourism.
In order to welcome the victory of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, various localities have also produced a number of special propaganda films that are loved by cadres and the masses in rural party member.
Shandong organized and produced a set of special talk shows, which were used as the necessary teaching materials for the intensive study in rural party member. Jilin organized and produced a special program "Representative Style" to focus on publicizing the representatives of the 17th CPC National Congress from the grassroots. Xinjiang used "Xinjiang Kunlun Net" to broadcast "Song of Communist party member" to create a good atmosphere for the victory of the 17th CPC National Congress.
