In his report at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that “Education, science and technology, and talent are the foundational and strategic supports for the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country. It is essential to maintain the belief that technology is the key to productivity, human talent is the most valuable asset, and innovation is the fundamental driver of progress. We must commit deeply to the strategies of advancing the nation through science and education, building a strong nation with a focus on talent, and fostering growth through innovation. By exploring new domains and paths for development, we can continuously create new energies and advantages to shape our future.” The Business School at the Central University of Finance and Economics is committed to upholding the principle proposed by General Secretary Xi Jinping that “talent is the most valuable resource.” The school will focus on strengthening foundational education in human resource management and will persist with the approach of “enhancing learning and teaching through competitions.” Guided by innovation and grounded in practical experience, the school aims to assist students in translating theoretical knowledge into real-world applications, thereby developing finance professionals with both strong expertise and practical skills.
