China, November of 1952.

The nature of the CCP is one of revolution and transformation. To transform China, to truly bring a Socialist state to the vast territory of China, the PRC must focus on the issues that few in China have cared about until now. The issue of education of both women and minorities all over the Chinese territory. Chairman Mao himself has been moved regarding the issue of the treatment of women in China, their emancipation and their oppression in Chinese society.

John L. Buck’s survey of rural society in 1930s China found that only 2 percent of the female population aged seven and above had ever attended school; and only 1 percent could read a common letter. About ten percent of women born before 1930 and residing in cities have reported having some secondary education. In comparison, Buck’s survey on rural China during the 1930s revealed data, from surveys conducted in 308 counties in 22 provinces, only 30 percent of all males over seven years old could read a common letter.

As can be seen comparatively, the gap between the literacy rates of men and women in China are vast, and this is contributed by the lack of appropriate schools and education, and a cultural focus on the furthering of education for men. The revolutionary PRC must change that fact, and turn it into statistical data, a gaze into an ancient past, rather than a contemporary issue. In order to do that, the PRC must focus on a vast campaign directed at the egalitarian education of men and women and the promotion of labor of both men and women all over China.

Encouraging A New Future

The PRC is, by now, used to producing vast quantities of propaganda materials, be it for the purpose of national liberation, or combatting imperialist influences or the relics of the ancient GMD, our party cadre is experienced in the manufacturing of materials that can change the hearts and minds of Chinese all over the nation.

Speeches from Chairman Mao will be distributed in China, regarding the status of women and how the CCP is actively working to build a Socialist state based on complete and absolute equality between men and women. One such excerpt is found below:

“[...] China has always been a patriarchal country, with the brutal domination of women; it has come to my attention today, through a letter I have received from a young Comrade, a young girl from the province of Yunnan, who has detailed her dreams of working hard to feed her family. I thought a lot about that child for quite a few days. She, and many other women who have, had and will have dreams in our Socialist China. From this young girl from Yunnan, Comrade Zhao Wen, to a woman that I have frequently written about, Miss Zhao, who committed suicide in 1919. Our reforms today are directed towards women. Women hold up half the sky, and their commitment to a Socialist state in China must be rewarded. We must show China and the world that our revolution is a People’s Revolution. All the People.”

Letters will be directed towards the local governments of our provinces, directing that they increase the hiring of women; the Central Committee of the CCP will pass three major laws: the compulsory education of men and women until the end of secondary education; the abolition of polygamy; a new marriage law, allowing freedom of marriage, as well as divorce and property rights for women.

Alongside of these, the All-China Women’s Federation will be formed with Cai Chang as its first chairwoman; she will be responsible for ensuring the presence of young girls in primary and secondary education, encourage the employment of women in Chinese industries and ensure that the rights of women are being respected throughout all of the PRC.

Ensuring A Future For All Minorities

Alongside our revolutionary changes on the status of women in the PRC, there must also be an honest dialogue regarding the status of our ethnic minorities, or Minzu. Our focus for the educational policies of ethnic minorities will be quite concise: “Learn from the past, think now, and look to the future.”

To further talk about ethnic groups, the PRC has 55 other ethnic groups than Han, mainly distributed in Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Ningxia, Guangxi, Tibet, Yunnan, Guizhou, Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu, Liaoning, Jilin, Hunan, Hainan, Taipei and other provinces.

The focus of our educational policy is to provide China with capable workers of all walks of life, capable of doing diverse occupations for the well-being of all Chinese, with a major focus on egalitarianism and equal opportunity of succeeding in life and being a productive member of society. This means that, with the approval of the law of compulsory primary and secondary education in all of China, the numbers of enrollment in Chinese boys and girls should massively increase within the next five years.

The Chinese government will also establish a system of student aid, for ethnic minorities and for Han Chinese. The objective is to implement a national system of grants, scholarships and student loans for tertiary education and encourage social participation, with massive investments into education. We shall also pass a new law which allows bilingual teaching in national primary and secondary schools and kindergartens of ethnic autonomous areas.

The PRC shall also implement a new training program to increase the quantity of minority teachers in China, with an increase in funding for such training programs all over the PRC; we shall also implement a State Ethnic Affairs Organization in all provinces of the PRC, who will be responsible for overseeing all subjects regarding the status of minorities in China, including their education from primary to tertiary.
