In order to deepen the study and implementation of the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, further strengthen the work of school aesthetic education, and enhance the educational function of school aesthetic education, in December 2023, the Ministry of Education issued a “Notice on the Comprehensive Implementation of the Infiltration Action of School Aesthetic Education,” which proposed that by 2027, the quality of aesthetic education courses and teaching will be comprehensively improved and the aesthetic and humanistic literacy of students will be generally improved. In recent years, significant progress has been made in the reform and development of school aesthetic education in China. However, aesthetic education is still a weak link in its development compared to special education, and there is an urgent need to understand further and deepen its value, role and function.
