Abstract:

Regarding the educational great power, there remain several fundamental and underlying issues open to discussion and debate. The first fundamental question is: What does it mean by an educational great power? The essence of this term lies in making a nation powerful by education. Educational great power is the great power by education, not the great power in education. The second fundamental question is: What qualifies an educational great power? The countries that perform better in addressing commanding challenges in education can be considered as educational great power. The third fundamental question is: How does education make a nation more powerful? All nations aspiring to become major powers need education to strengthen the country in three key areas: first, by consolidating and expanding the nation's ideological advantages; second, by providing high-quality talent for industries to compete internationally; and third, by supporting high-level technological self-reliance and strength. The fourth fundamental question is: How can an educationally powerful nation be realized? There are three strategic tasks for building an educationally powerful nation. First, identify the key elements that determine whether a country can truly become an educationally powerful nation and address them as the main battlefield. Second, seize the historical opportunity of the intelligent society and open new tracks for intelligent education. Third, reduce obstacles on the path to building an educationally powerful nation by removing bottlenecks.
