德育是素质教育的灵魂和核心。改革开放以来,学生的政治思想、道德品质总的来讲是好的,但是我们的德育在教育观念、内容、途径及方式方法上,特别是德育的针对性和实效性还存在不少问题。如何使中小学德育在新的世纪有新的进展、新的突破?我们认为,关键在于要以江泽民同志“三个代表”的重要思想为指导,深化改革,勇于创新,以人为本,与时俱进。 Moral education is the soul and core of quality education. Since the reform and opening up, students’ political ideology and moral quality have always been good, but there are still many problems in our moral education in terms of educational concepts, contents, approaches and methods, especially the pertinence and effectiveness of moral education. How can we make new progress and new breakthroughs in moral education in primary and secondary schools in the new century? We believe that the key lies in taking Comrade Jiang Zemin’s important thinking of the “three represents” as guidance, deepen reforms, be bold in making innovations, be people-centered, and advance with the times .
