In 2021, 99 ideological and political demonstration courses, 99 famous teachers and teams were selected to strengthen demonstration and guidance. At major historical junctures such as celebrating the centennial of the founding of the party, hosting the Winter Olympic Games and the winter Paralympic Games, and carrying out the fight against the COVID-19 epidemic, the majority of graduate students unswervingly listen to the party's words and follow the party, show their high spirits with practical actions, practice the mission of "reassuring the party and strengthening the country", and strive to be a new generation worthy of the important task of national rejuvenation. Service demand oriented, more optimized structure type Over the past decade, graduate education has closely served the strategic deployment of "four orientations", continuously improved the discipline and specialty structure and talent training structure, and more than 800 graduate training units across the country have sent more than 600000 doctors and more than 6.5 million masters to the main battlefield of economic and social development, providing strong talent support for the development of the party and the state. The discipline and specialty system with Chinese characteristics has been further improved. A number of first-class disciplines and professional degree categories such as Cyberspace Security, integrated circuit science and engineering, national security, and traditional Chinese medicine have been added. The category of engineering degree has been adjusted from one to eight, forming a discipline and specialty directory covering 14 discipline categories, 113 first-class disciplines, and 47 professional degree categories, covering major fields of national economic and social development. The discipline and specialty system with Chinese characteristics has been further improved. The classified training system is more sound. The proportion of master's degree conferring has increased from 35% in 2012 to 58% in 2021, and the proportion of doctor's degree conferring has increased from 5.8% to 9%. Key disciplines have been continuously strengthened. The number of first-class doctoral programs in science, engineering, agriculture and medicine increased from 1944 in 2012 to 2575; In the "double first-class" construction, science, engineering, agriculture and medicine accounted for 78.5%. The discipline construction of philosophy and social sciences has been continuously strengthened, and Oracle Bone Inscriptions and other "rare and unique studies" with important cultural value have been inherited and carried forward. Actively arrange talent training projects in areas urgently needed by the country. Innovative mechanisms in interdisciplinary areas. The regional layout is continuously optimized.

Speed up the construction of a first-class university system with the goal of pursuing excellence Hongdayong said that the "double first-class" construction colleges and universities have undertaken the training task of more than 80% of doctoral students and nearly 60% of master students in China. They are the main force for training basic research talents and the new force for scientific and technological innovation talents. A number of world-class scientists and leading talents have been introduced and cultivated. The ability to cultivate high-level talents has been continuously improved, and the ability to support high-level scientific and technological self-reliance has been significantly enhanced. The leading role of philosophy and Social Sciences in the prosperity and development has become more prominent, and high-level foreign cooperation and exchanges have been deepened.
