The Chinese modernization of education is a socialist education modernization with Chinese characteristics explored by the people of all ethnic groups under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in their educational practice in the past century. Rooted in a long history, it promotes all-round development of the people and high-quality development. Pursuing equity and fairness, it is open and inclusive with diversified evaluation systems, achieved through co-construction, co-governance and sharing. The pathways of Chinese education modernization worked themselves out with inexorable force and become a great creative practice of the Chinese nation. Compared with the education modernization model of other countries in the world, the Chinese modernization of education has distinct connotations and characteristics: strong national character based on Chinese conditions, fairness in serving the people, openness in thinking globally, serving as the groundwork of a powerful country, inclusiveness, and progressiveness. In the new era, the CPC should highlight the characteristics of Chinese education with cultural confidence, promote people-centered education equity, accelerate the construction of a high-quality education system, deepen the reform and innovation of education system and mechanism, further open up education, and build a learning society to realize the Chinese dream of building a strong socialist modernization country and the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in the process of promoting the Chinese modernization of education.
