History In May 1987, the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party's "Decision on Improving and Strengthening Ideological and Political Work in Institutions of Higher Learning" said that that in order to enable students to support the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and understand the line, principles and policies of the CCP, situation and policy education should be carried out. In October of the same year, the State Education Commission issued the "Opinions on the Establishment of Ideological Education Courses in Institutions of Higher Learning", stipulating that situation and policy courses are one of the compulsory courses in ideological education courses in institutions of higher learning. In October 1996, the State Education Commission issued the "Opinions on Further Strengthening the Construction of Situation and Policy Courses in Institutions of Higher Learning", requiring that situation and policy courses should be guaranteed to have an average of no less than one class hour per week, implement a school year assessment system, and the results should be included in the student transcript.祁明，江鸿波著,高校内涵建设背景下的学生思想政治教育发展,同济大学出版社,2019.03,第147页
