In October of the same year,the State Education Commission issued the "Opinions on the Establishment of Ideological Education Courses in Institutions of Higher Learning",stipulating that situation and policy courses are one of the compulsory courses in ideological education courses in institutions of higher learning. In October 1996,the State Education Commission issued the "Opinions on Further Strengthening the Construction of Situation and Policy Courses in Institutions of Higher Learning",requiring that situation and policy courses should be guaranteed to have an average of no less than one class hour per week,implement a school year assessment system,and the results should be included in the student transcript.
