【知识点】

我们党“为中国人民谋幸福、为中华民族谋复兴”的初心使命，在教育领域具体表现为“为党育人、为国育才”。中国共产党自成立起就高度重视教育工作，把教育作为民族振兴、社会进步的重要基石。

我国现有各级各类专任教师1732万人。广大教师疫情期间通过大规模在线教学，满足了全国2.8亿学生多样化的学习需求，推进了教育教学方式革命性变革。数百万乡村教师、近百万特岗教师、数十万支教教师坚守在最边远、最贫困、最艰苦的地区，为确保如期完成脱贫攻坚目标任务，全面建成小康社会贡献力量。

习近平强调，各级党委和政府要满腔热情关心教师，让教师真正成为最受社会尊重和令人羡慕的职业，在全社会营造尊师重教的良好风尚。

【重要讲话】

今年是决胜全面建成小康社会、决战脱贫攻坚之年，全国广大教师用爱心和智慧阻断贫困代际传递，点亮万千乡村孩子的人生梦想，展现了当代人民教师的高尚师德和责任担当。

This year is the time to secure a decisive victory in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and achieve the goal of poverty alleviation. Teachers across the country devoted their love and wisdom to stopping poverty from being passed on to the next generation and inspiring millions of rural children to pursue their dreams, which demonstrates the noble ethics and sense of responsibility of contemporary teachers.
