The 3rd Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the CPC laid out four strategic missions for innovating social governance system, namely reforming social governance approach, invigorating social organizations, revising the system for effectively preventing and resolving social contradictions, and improving public security system.

Therefore it is an urgent task to increase the cultivation of social workers, strengthening the education of social work managers, and quicken the cultivation of social work teachers and researchers.
