Summary
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee has attached great importance to the ideological construction of colleges and universities, pointing out that the fundamental task of education is to establish morality and cultivate people, and to make it clear who, how and for whom to cultivate talents. Political counselors are the backbones of ideological and political education for college students (Shi, 2009). They are college students’ advisers in learning and friends in life, with whom students engage. Their words and deeds have a subtle influence on students (Yuan & Zeng, 2017). The qualifications and competences of a university counselor have a direct effect on the effectiveness of education, the quality of talents and the stable development of universities. It would be a must for colleges and universities to maintain a high-quality and highly capable counselor team featuring high political consciousness, good professional conducts, excellent psychological qualifications, and strong comprehensive abilities. This paper first discusses the significance of political counselors, and investigates what qualifications and competences a political counselor should have, and lastly provides ways for political counselors to accomplish these qualifications and competences
