Whom do we educate people for? CPC's answer is cultivating talents for the Party and for the country, which has been CPC's unchangeable original intention and mission in the past century. The goal evolves constantly into different patterns in different historical stages. It has gone through five stages, namely, "education for the awakening of the Chinese nation," "education for the Chinese nation to stand up," "education for the Chinese nation to become rich," "education for the Chinese nation to become strong" and "education for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation." Accordingly, the priority of education for the CPC has also gone through five shifts. They are "center-noumenon," "parallel-support," "antecedent-support," "antecedent-noumenon," and "antecedent-overall importance." The CPC's understanding of the priority of education in the past century has always adhered to the practice and innovation of Marxism and its methodology, never forgetting the initial intention of attaching importance to education, in line with the periodic and continuous answers to the question of "education for whom," and continuously enriched and developed the Party's educational theory and practice.
