It is imperative to deepen the reform of military training for students in an all-round way.

According to the statistics of relevant departments, there are currently more than 2,000 colleges and 22,000 high schools in China that organize students to carry out military training as required, with more than 20 million students participating in the training every year. The National Defense Mobilization Department of the Central Military Commission recently issued a notice, clarifying that starting from August 25 this year, a daily reporting system will be established for military training of students throughout the country.

In August 2017, the General Office of the State Council and the General Office of the Central Military Commission issued opinions on deepening the reform of students’ military training, put forward the basic principles of students’ military training, such as adhering to the party’s management of military training, adhering to integration of defense and civilian technologies, adhering to intensive and efficient training, adhering to the rule of law, and attaching equal importance to theoretical skills, and demanded strengthening the system construction of organization and leadership, training and teaching, teaching staff, training capacity and quality monitoring, and solidly deepening the reform of students’ military training.

The country is strong when young people are strong, and the country has hope when young people have hope. Organizing college and middle school students to participate in military training sowed the seeds of serving the country from the army, and harvested the hope of the nation and the future of the country.

As early as 1955, the first Military Service Law promulgated by New China established a military training system for students, which has been uninterrupted for more than 60 years. Abroad, since Napoleon initiated military exercises in Paris Polytechnic, many countries in the world have successively carried out military exercises with military subject education as the main content in colleges and universities. Its basic educational model is that the army forms a "military group" to take charge of students’ usual course teaching and training, which has played a positive role in improving teenagers’ physical and mental literacy and military skills.

The significance and importance of organizing students to participate in military training is self-evident, which has become a world consensus. In recent years, the military organs at all levels of the whole army have joined hands with the local education administrative departments to actively explore ways to adapt to the requirements of the new era, effectively preventing the problems of inadequate organization and management and the failure to implement policies and systems, especially the phenomenon of market-oriented operation and commercial training in a few places, which has led to the simple and boring military training for students, becoming a mere formality, being deformed and stale, and violating the original intention of organizing military training for students.

Comprehensively deepening the reform of students’ military training and improving the quality of students’ military training is not only one of the important ways to cultivate people and reserve soldiers, but also a strong foundation to support the Chinese dream and the dream of strengthening the military in the new era.

The training content is real. We must resolutely overcome the past phenomenon of "old military training every year" and lack of "military flavor" and "war flavor", and complete the "prescribed actions" according to the outline, so as to ensure that the subjects are fully trained, the time is sufficient, and the content is practical; Reasonably arrange "optional movements", increase the contents of military boxing, self-help and mutual rescue, fire evacuation, etc., and break the military training mode of "old three kinds" and "all the same" in high schools and universities; According to the facts, select "innovative movements", increase orienteering, radio direction finding and school characteristic training as appropriate, ensure that students’ military training content is connected with recruits’ training courses, and cultivate and establish a reserve talent pool with good quality.

The team of coaches is strong. In the past, coaches came from various sources and the quality of their personnel was uneven. The quality of coaches directly affects the quality of military training. Therefore, it is necessary to strictly control the selection, training and assessment of coaches; Just like the army’s teaching method training, from command password, command action and command position to group training methods, ideological and political work methods and management methods, training is organized one by one, and personnel are assessed one by one.

Supervision and inspection are hard. Resolutely put an end to the arbitrariness of students’ military training, the phenomenon that the time can be short, the subjects can be reduced, and the difficulty can be reduced. We set up a student military training supervision and inspection team, and take a combination of general survey and spot check to supervise. We will persist in discipline and strict accountability for the fraud of arbitrarily reducing training content and reducing training time, as well as the violation of rules and regulations that misappropriate military training expenses, so as to ensure that students’ military training work is not deformed, distorted or shrunk, and form an orderly management and operation.
