ABSTRACT: The Ministry of Education of China put forward the
concept of “core literacy system” for the first time in the “Opinions on
Comprehensively Deepening Curriculum Reform and Implementing the Fundamental
Tasks of Moral Education” issued in 2014. This is a new educational reform
policy put forward by China based on fully combining China’s national
conditions and the new requirements for human development in the 21st century,
which has important guiding significance for China’s educational reform. After
discussing the background, content, and meaning of core literacy, this study
points out the current situation and development trend of core literacy in primary
and secondary schools in China and then puts forward guiding opinions on the
development of core literacy in rural primary and secondary schools. With the
widening gap between urban and rural education, rural people are in urgent need
of high-quality educational resources. To narrow the gap between urban and
rural education and promote the democratization of education in China, we must
unswervingly implement the education reform with the core element system as the
key field and main link. This is also the significance of this study.
