National Defense Education Activities in Hengyang City
“The wild geese that have traveled thousands of miles to Hengyang are returning north again this year.” Yancheng Hengyang has beautiful mountains and rivers.
A few days ago, Li Shuo, a member of the Hengyang City National Defense Education Lecture Team and a retired college student soldier, entered Nanhua University to teach a national defense education class for freshmen. Standing on the podium, Li Shuo combined his military experience to show students the “poetry and distance” of soldiers through photos and videos, explaining that “youth is for fighting.” Peer communication is increasingly harmonious, and the atmosphere in the classroom is very active. Many college students have developed a desire for the military field.
This is one of the scenes of Hengyang City’s national defense education activities. In the training courses of party and government cadres, district leaders of Hengyang garrison and experts from party schools took the podium to analyze the national security situation and preach political theories to trainees in primary and secondary schools, senior students learned about national defense by participating in activities such as “A Day in the Military Camp”. Lower-class students get acquainted with national defense through activities such as painting, handicrafts and singing songs; in the militia training base, war veterans and retired military cadres tell heroic stories and revolutionary traditions to the militia and potential recruits…
Improving the Quality and Effectiveness of National Defense Education
“In the past, thousands of people attended a national defense class, which seemed lively and lively, but the actual effect is questionable,” the leader of Hengyang Garrison District said in a survey on the quality and effectiveness of national defense education. At the beginning of the year, some common issues have attracted the attention of the military and civilians: some teachers follow the textbook, and the lesson is boring; some teachers prepare lessons carefully, but a teaching plan ”can conquer the world”, some the audience said that they were “very thirsty”, and some said that they “cannot understand” some teachers teach with old-fashioned content, lack of charm and attractiveness;
In response to these problems, in March this year, the city’s military and civilians jointly issued a notice to deploy throughout the city “active military officers and party school experts lecture on theory, veteran cadres on traditions, militia pillars talk about feelings, students tell their experiences, and primary and secondary school students tell stories to promote national defense. The “Five Lessons and Seven Progress” activity of national defense education with the main content of “education of institutions, schools, enterprises, communities, villages, military camps” and networks” is based on the cognitive level, thinking level and interest of different types of audience groups. Hobbies, etc., promote the implementation of “categorized platforms and precise teaching”, create hundreds of highly targeted and distinctive quality courses of national defense education, and promote the improvement of the quality and efficiency of national defense education.
Professional Teachers and Engaging Lessons
“Teachers are willing to teach well, and the public will be willing to learn and learn well.” The garrison district leader told reporters that in order to “let professionals do professional things,” they recruited troops from the garrison troops. , local party schools, memorial sites, universities, middle schools and primary schools, as well as among the models and heroes of the militia, 100 national defense education instructors were selected to form a Hengyang national defense education teaching group in the garrison district and the township. The Propaganda Department of the Party Committee took the lead in organizing special training courses, thematic research and quality assessment. The teaching group provides “menu-style” national defense education and propaganda services according to the characteristics and needs of different categories of personnel.
At a militia training base in the city, new recruits were required to sit in a lecture hall. Chen Mingsheng, a member of the National Defense Education Reading Corps and a veteran of the war, wore an old-fashioned military uniform and stepped onto the podium in a good mood. He passionately told the story of how he and his comrades fought on the border and defended their country. Wu Qi, a scheduled recruit who had graduated from a martial arts school, was so impressed that he solemnly wrote this in his diary: “Dedicate your clear love to the motherland and brighten your military life with your fighting youth. I want to learn from the veterans who participated in the war to inherit the fighting spirit of ‘not being afraid of hardship and death’ and take up the baton of protecting our country!”
