We must adhere to the combination of goal orientation, problem orientation, and effect orientation, highlight the importance of establishing first and then breaking through, take institutional innovation as the core task, and focus on breaking through institutional and mechanistic barriers. We need to encourage local governments and schools to actively explore and boldly practice, produce replicable and promotable good experiences, practices, and achievements, strengthen argumentation and refinement, transform them into rules and regulations, policy documents, standards and norms, and effectively play the exemplary, breakthrough, and driving role of pilot projects in the overall reform, and use reform and innovation to activate and add momentum to accelerate the construction of a strong education country.
