Abstract:

The construction of a strong country in education in the new era should focus on enhancing ideological and political leadership, talent competitiveness, scientific and technological support, livelihood security, social synergy, and international influence. As an important safeguard for the construction of a strong country in education, educational rule of law has achieved considerable success in strengthening the “six forces,” but there is still room for improvement. This is manifested in six aspects: the institutional construction failing to meet the “effective utilization” requirements of ideological and political education, insufficient legal safeguards for cultivating top-notch innovative talents, fragmentation and poor coherence in science education legislation, issues of equity, accessibility, and rights protection in early childhood education, lack of legal synergy between private education and family education, and institutional design lagging behind the needs of educational opening-up. In the future, targeted efforts should be made to build a legal framework for ideological and political education, strengthen legal protections for top-notch innovative talents, integrate the legal system of scientific education, address the legal shortcomings in preschool education, optimize the legal layout of home-school-community co-education, and improve the legal construction of Sino-foreign cooperative education. These measures aim to achieve the goal of building a strong country in education within the framework of the rule of law.

Key words: strong country in education, educational rule of law, system optimization, rule of law approach
