Establish a management mechanism among faculty and staff that encourages competition and cooperation, encourages individual excellence and promotes overall improvement, creates a relaxed and democratic working atmosphere, and builds a positive, united and harmonious teacher culture.

The third is to attach importance to the development and training of teachers.
