Pathways for Forging a Sense of Community for the Chinese Nation in Primary and Secondary School Education

Abstract Primary and secondary school education holds dual implications in forging a sense of community for the Chinese nation. Primary and secondary school education is not only the main battlefield for the normalization of education for identification with the community of the Chinese nation, but also an important field for promoting interactions, exchanges and intermingling between ethnic groups. This means that creating mechanisms for the normalization of promotional education for forging a sense of community for the Chinese nation within educational practices at primary and secondary schools is particularly important. Therefore, models for primary and secondary school education should be continuously restructured and improved by perfecting work for moral education, restructuring education and teaching systems, building mutually embedded educational fields, applying innovative educational thinking, and other pathways, to better adapt to the requirements for cultivating a sense of community for the Chinese nation among primary and secondary school students in the new era, and cause school education to become an important promotional force for the construction of the community of the Chinese nation.
