Opinions on Running Schools Well [1] (August 8, 1965)  In running education, we must also look at the cadres. Whether a school is run well or not depends on the nature of its principal and Party committee, which is determined by their level of political awareness. The principal and teachers of a school exist to serve the students; it is not the students who should serve the principal and teachers.  Printed from Chairman Mao’s Discussions on the Educational Revolution, published by the People’s Publishing House in 1967.  Note [1] This is part of a conversation held by Mao Zedong when he met with a Guinean educational delegation headed by Minister of Education Gunt Serra, as well as Guinea’s Attorney General Fadiala and his wife.
