China's reform and opening up has been going on for more than 10 years, and judging from the practice of more than 10 years, it has been proved that Deng Lao's viewpoint is incomparably correct, that is, only by building socialism with Chinese characteristics can China embark on the road of prosperity and strength.

At present, the reforms, especially the reform of the economic system, have entered a high level, and the original planned economy has been put onto the track of a market economy.

The market economy is an economic operation mode that realizes the optimal allocation of resources through the market mechanism.

The economy is the lifeblood, and the superstructure is determined by the economic base, and the three elements of economic development are people, money, and materials, and one of these three elements, "people", has the closest relationship with our education front.

People, that is, talents, are the new force for building the four modernizations.

Our education front has the responsibility to train talents for the construction of the four modernizations, not to mention that Comrade Deng Lao said a long time ago that we must first do a good job in education and take education as the foundation.

The most important thing in this is that we must closely follow the situation of the country and the strategic plan for reform and opening up.

Now that we have embarked on a market economy, we on the education front must adapt to the new structure of the market economy and run our educational undertakings well.

There is also a market for education, which mainly refers to the educational opportunities provided by schools and the supply and demand of intellectual products and society.

Education is also an industry, and it also needs to enter the market.

The significance of the education market is enormous, as it is conducive to accelerating the pace of educational development, improving the quality of teaching, promoting institutional reform within schools, and functioning educational administrative organs.

So, how should we adapt to the new system of the market economy and run our education well?

First of all, we must enhance our understanding, strengthen our sense of responsibility, understand the major historical transformation in the new situation, adapt ourselves to the new situation, and be the vanguard of the new era.

Second, it is necessary to carry out the reform of the school's internal system, that is, to implement four systems: the principal responsibility system, the post responsibility system, the salary contract system, and the teacher appointment system.

In this way, we can purify the ranks of teachers, optimize the combination, strengthen the sense of responsibility, and make the best use of their talents and do their best, which is conducive to accelerating the pace of education.

Third, it is also important that our teaching content and methods should also be reformed.

In view of our actual situation, we should re-examine our teaching contents, add to or delete them, discard the parts that do not meet the actual requirements of the present, and add some content that is urgently needed by reality.

In terms of teaching methods, we will continue to explore new ways on the basis of reform, and the core of this is to mobilize students' subjective initiative, so as to enter the realm of learning and learning, and make inventions and creations.

Either way, as long as it achieves the goal, it is a good method.

Fourth, strengthen the operation and management in all aspects.

Schools are places where people are cultivated, and there are contradictions and struggles in themselves, not to mention the negative trends of thought from society that can also corrupt the younger generation.

Only by strengthening the operation and management of all aspects and letting positive ideas prevail will have a good impact on the younger generation, and we can cultivate students' good sentiments and superb skills from all aspects, so as to prepare for participating in the construction of the four modernizations in the future.

Of course, there is still a lot of work to be done, and the key is that we must ideologically understand the importance and urgency of the new system of market economy for building socialism with Chinese characteristics, and we must adapt to it in order to do a good job in education.
