The Party Committee of the School of Economics and Management (SEM), University of Science and Technology Beijing (USTB), is advancing an education initiative on developing and putting into practice a sound understanding of governance performance. The initiative follows instructions from the CPC Central Committee, the Leading Party Members Group of the Ministry of Education and the USTB Party Committee.
Guided by the principles of serving the public interest, benefiting the people, making evidence-based decisions and delivering results through practical work, SEM is integrating study, problem identification and corrective action into its institutional development.
The school prepared an implementation plan aligned with its educational responsibilities and academic strengths. Its framework combines Party committee coordination, implementation by branches and participation across the school. Five priorities guide the work: study and discussion, identifying problems, corrective action, improving institutional rules, and seeking input from faculty and students. Learning and practical requirements are tailored to school leaders, faculty Party members and student Party members.
At a launch meeting in Room 809 of the SEM Building on March 12, 2026, school leaders, Party committee members, and all faculty Party branch secretaries and committee members reviewed the central notice and university arrangements. Faculty and student branches subsequently prepared their own study plans.
A dedicated reading program for leaders at division level and above held its first group session on March 23. Wu Sen, secretary of the SEM Party Committee, delivered opening remarks and led a reading of excerpts from Xi Jinping's statements on developing and practicing a sound understanding of governance performance. The program combines guided reading, individual study, thematic instruction and group discussion.
SEM will continue to connect the initiative with its core responsibilities, address identified problems, strengthen institutional arrangements and respond to faculty and student needs. The work is intended to support a strong start to the 15th Five-Year Plan period.
