Public education has always been an important position in Party building. In recent years, more and more private educational institutions are entering the education industry. How does the party building of private educational institutions be done? How does TAL Education Group, which provides K-12 after-school tutoring, play to its own advantages in channels, technology, and talents to form new models, achieve resonance between Party building and business, and provide certain inspiration for the party building of private educational institutions and even non-public enterprises in the new era.

Let party members play key roles in key positions

"Doing a good job in the party building of private education, fully integrating business development with party building, and having party members play key roles in key positions is an important part of assisting the development of enterprises." Wan Yiting, deputy secretary of the Party Committee and chief of public affairs of the TAL Group, said.

He Feels deeply moved. Two years ago, as a party member, he was dispatched by the group to work in the national poverty-stricken county of Song County, Henan Province, and now he has grown into a business backbone.

"Looking at the children from these poor families, I deeply felt that studying is an important way out for them to leave the mountains. As a party member, I know that the burden on my shoulders is particularly heavy," He said.

With the efforts of He and others, in just over two years, the school has successfully introduced the good future smart classroom, and children in poverty-stricken mountainous areas have begun to enjoy better quality educational resources. Today, the teaching quality of the Song County Source Experimental School ranks among the top in the county.

He is one of the 7,299 party members of TAL Education, and there are many party members like him. Qin Danyang, a teacher at Xueersi Online School, went to Liangshan, a national deeply impoverished area in Sichuan Province, to deeply enter frontline schools and help local Yi teachers and students learn Mandarin through the AI Mandarin system developed by the online school.

Yang Fuguang, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of the TAL Education Group and principal of Xueersi, introduced that offline, Xueersi released a series of moral education courses, focusing on education of love for the Party and the country, national new era education directions, teacher ethics and style construction, and psychological health for young people; online, teachers can watch live broadcasts through online classrooms.

Create an interesting and informative "moral and political small classroom"

During the break time in Xueersi's classroom, there is a unique phenomenon: students all sit down on their own, neither causing trouble nor chatting, and watch the short films played on the screen seriously.

"What my child looks forward to the most is the short film 'Firecracker Egg' played during breaks. The animated form is vivid and interesting, they can learn knowledge and cultivate their sentiments," a student's parent said. One day, the child was deeply moved after watching it, and told him very seriously that as a Chinese, he felt very proud.

The animated short film mentioned by the parent is a series of animated short films launched by Xueersi for students, such as "Me and My Motherland". Each short film is about 3 minutes long, and focuses on a single topic in animated form, such as the Five-Star Red Flag, the origin of the national anthem, and so on.

Since this year, Xueersi has successively launched 16 episodes of the "General Grandpa Storytelling" series, transmitting the ideas of diligence, love of learning, setting an example, filial piety, and brotherly respect, through the personal narration of old generals. At the beginning of the school year in September, Xueersi also launched the first season of the "Strong Country Classroom", inviting academicians from two academies, national master craftsmen, and cultural celebrities from across the country to give lectures, producing a strong inspirational impact.

The student group of the TAL Education is mainly made up of minors. "Through the series of moral education courses, we hope to not only teach students theoretical knowledge, but also cultivate their healthy personality," Nie Hongfei, secretary of the TAL Education Group's Discipline Inspection Commission and president of the Leadership Development Institute, said. With party building as a foundation to create the "moral and political small classroom", innovative forms are used to carry out patriotic and moral education, sowing the seeds of the Chinese dream in the hearts of children.

"Triple Integration Work Method" makes non-public Party building practical

How to effectively carry out party building work in non-public enterprises has always been a difficulty in grassroots party building. The TAL Education Group has integrated the "Triple Integration Work Method" of integrating party building work with actual business, technology channels, and ideological and political education in depth, to make party building practical and effective.

The first is the in-depth integration of party building work with actual business. TAL Education insists on the interchange of party committee members with group executives, establishes a full-time party secretary for the group party committee, and the deputy secretary is served by several senior executives of the group. There are 1674 party members serving in various leadership positions in the group, and 24 grassroots party organizations have been established in 22 cities across the country.

Wang Mian, deputy secretary of the TAL Education Group Party Committee, introduced that TAL Education fully gives play to the exemplary role of party members and integrates party building work into corporate social responsibility, enhances the appeal and cohesion of party organizations. In 2018, TAL Education provided nearly 90,000 hours of public welfare services for nearly 9,000 children and more than 2,500 teachers.

The second is to combine party building work with the characteristics of the enterprise and fully integrate with the technical channels. TAL Education actively gives play to the unique advantages of the education industry, and uses live broadcasts, dual-teacher live classroom forms, to enable more than 40,000 employees in different locations to participate in live meetings, party classes, moral education courses, and more, to achieve "course sharing", forming a new model of leading party building learning, overcoming difficulties such as dispersed personnel and organizing activities.

Using live broadcast technology, more than 20,000 Xueersi teachers across the country simultaneously listened to the first moral education class, taught by former National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference member Zhou Bingde

The third is to clarify the direction of party building work, and innovate the form to carry out ideological and political education. Combining its own advantages, TAL Education has promoted the reform and innovation of ideological and political theory courses, and has offered rich and colorful ideological and political courses for student groups in a way that is enjoyable for young people, enhancing the affinity and pertinence of ideological and political education. This makes it not only "meaningful" but also "interesting", helping young people to enhance cultural confidence and establish lofty ideals unconsciously.
