One of the junior military school students wrote the following words: when a child's throat shouted loud slogans, when the calves took a strong step, when the teacher had a happy smile on his face and when the parents saw the tears coming out of their eyes, i finally understood that there were no miles in the yard and no greenhouses that would last forever。
With a glorious history, the role of the new age junior military school in youth defence education and physical strength has become more prominent。
I'll show you everything

At the event, the children listened to the deep-seated stories of the lecturers of the field marshal nee yong-joon's pavilion, and felt the love and firmness of the revolutionary ancestors. In the military training course “scrambling” “hacking in the land”, the children were able to act with great courage and strength。
Similar to jiangjin district, out-of-school educational facilities, such as the youth palace and youth activity camps, are organized by grass-roots pioneers in many localities, using their geographical advantages to carry out specialized activities at the junior military school。

In the city of guangzhou, deng shichang, on the basis of the unique advantages of being close to deng shichang's home, has developed a “off-road education” character that will sow children's hearts and minds to national defence education。
On the campus, the navy's knowledge gallery and a column on defence activities showcased the navy's development and defence knowledge to children. The school has carefully structured the curriculum for defence education, and the defence education book of the launcher opens the door for children to learn about defence. The school also organizes the "foreign army orchestra" which is designed every semester to train school students in the "breaking up under the military flag" military queues, naval flags, etc。
“in the area of teacher collaboration, the school has fully exploited the resources of co-educational forces in the region, employing war heroes and medal-winning individuals as out-of-school mentors and enriching the teaching staff of defence education. Through these activities, we have made the children feel the power of national defence in all its aspects and inspired their aspirations.”
In the playground of the 96th high school in the capital city of inner mongolia, nearly a thousand students, led by their students in the flag class, perform exercises on raising the flag, singing the national anthem, speaking the language, etc., in a well-organized manner, with high morale, and become a beautiful view of the campus。

The specialized committee of the young military school of the jiangsu provincial council for the study of childhood and adolescence plays an important role in the development of the province's junior military school, promoting more than 100 primary and secondary schools, such as the primary school of the tachin city drum building, which has been running for 30 years. The committee promotes the development of the young military school in jiangsu province by organizing research on subjects, preparing and publishing monographs and collaborating with television stations to show its membership。
The secretary-general of the panel, zhou zhou zhou long, stated: “we will allow the junior military school to shed more light on the land of jiangsu and contribute more to the cause of defence education.”
Focusing on the practice of procreation and promoting the comprehensive development of adolescents is a common goal of military schools for young people everywhere. Through a variety of practical vehicles, such as military training, scenario simulations and team challenges, the junior military school is engaged in many useful explorations through the integration of parenting objectives throughout its activities。
The vr's thematic practice of “i love the land of my motherland” allows children to experience the history of china's navy development through advanced technological tools and first-hand perspectives, and to learn about defense technology through an exhibition on the theme “the great chinese navy”, a demonstration of the "the great power heavy weapons deep blue" reality model, the zilong declar, the vr immersion course, the story of the retired captain of the "red bloods, blue land" and a rich interactive practice course。

The south china sea foreign language school in foshan city is leading students to "i love the land of motherland." vr research activities rely on the expertise of the domestic authorities in maritime defence, shipbuilding and education brought together by the project, together with teachers in various disciplines, such as geography, biology, physics, information technology and historical politics, to recreate the curriculum and to give students a real understanding that the “maritime power” is a combination of scientific and technological, ecological, legal and military capabilities, rather than a single dimension of armed confrontation. The teachers were excited to find that, through this interdisciplinary learning design, students were more aware of their career plans。
In guangzhou city, the juvenile palace is child-centred, with a focus on child-care providers, and systematically conducts the work of the juvenile military school through social coordination and co-production. In 2024, on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the establishment of the chinese young pioneer team, more than 1,400 participants from 30 junior military school teams from all over the city joined hong kong/australian youth in a series of projects such as the display of a thousand men's body fists in order to demonstrate the youth style of the gulf region with the desire to do so. During the summer holidays of 2025, 100 junior military school students experienced “hard core” defence education, focusing on “experative + education + practice” on the formation of military personnel, military skills and physical development. Using military training as a basis, the participants integrated the “walking thinking and politics” course, strengthening team collaboration and personality development in practical activities such as entry into the armed forces, and forging will and spirit in physical development。
“this event made me truly aware of the resilience and perseverance of the military, and the training, though tired, made me learn to hold on!” a small student was excited to share the path。
The guangzhou city juvenile palace also uses the out-of-school educational advantage to serve a naval force in organizing hayva summer camp activities. Every weekend during the event, there was a charade of beauty in the juvenile palace, where the children of the junior military school were studying. Their instructors were from active forces, reserves, militia cadres, veterans and revolutionary veterans. The instructors have the full professional advantage of teaching them military doctrine or conventional military skills。

In guangzhou city, secretary wei xiaoli, secretary of the youth palace party, stated that “for the future, we will continue to deepen the project of mutual reinforcement of the military field, linking the resources of the platform, helping to build the defence and army, and fostering the comprehensive development of children and adolescents”
Practice makes the sword
The junior military school is not only a place for children to learn about national defence and experience military training, but also a big melting pot for sword-making. In recent years, with the development of the era, the junior military school has also been undergoing innovative changes to adapt to the new demands of the new era。

In february 2021, the central committee of the communist republic of china issued its opinion on the comprehensive strengthening of the work of the new age junior force, which clearly stated that “the construction of the junior military school and the junior police academy should be further developed”. In september 2022, the opinion on the strengthening and improvement of defence education for all for the new era was issued, which clearly states that “investing in strengthening defence education for young people and integrating defence education requirements into the curriculum”. China's service for the development of children and adolescents (hereinafter referred to as the centre for the development of children and adolescents) has carried out a series of activities aimed at promoting the further integration of young people's defence education and ideological and political leadership。
In order to address the problems of the inconsistent content, modalities and criteria for political leadership at the grass-roots level, the centre focused on the activities of the junior military school, spearheading the development of a model curriculum for youth defence education to provide programmatic thinking for the integration of mothers; and promoting the development of group standards for the youth military training activity clothing and equipment, such as the mandatory safety requirements of technical norms for the safety of infants, young children and children's textile products for children under 14 years of age, providing important safeguards for the normative and scientific development of military training activities for young people。
In 2024, the centre launched a pilot project on norms and standards for the activities of the “hot-blooded youth camp” of the junior military school, which led to the creation of a national guide to practice and was accompanied by working guidelines to facilitate the integration of activities into the school system。
In order to provide more specialized defence education for children and adolescents, the centre places great emphasis on building teams, conducting ongoing theoretical and practical research on youth education, conducting in-service training and exchange of results, and improving the teaching skills of military and youth personnel。
Since 2021, the centre has been carrying out a series of activities on the subject of “hot-blooded youth camps” at the junior military school, with joint positions and out-of-school institutions covering more than 150 youth homes and youth camps throughout the country。
For example, in the context of the “hot-blooded youth salutes young men” festival, the middle and young centre joined the young labour committees around the country to mobilize nearly half a million young pioneers to enter the revolutionary martyrs hills, their homes, memorials and the junior military school。
From the youthful reading at the li dae-hoon memorial in hebei, to the solemn declaration in front of the boundary pillars of the border guard post, a process was set in motion to activate the 1,000-year school operation, a theme running through the mountains of the river, making every bowing and every vow a red memory that never fades into the youth's heart。
In liaoning, more than 10,000 young pioneers took part with respect, and many of the zealous martyr hills, memorials, monuments, places of residence and revolutionary sites in the province became important positions for the young pioneers to remember the early. In guizhou, young pioneers came to the red army mount martyrs park to raze red army fighters' fields. On the hills of lingle, the lingu palace of youth, together with the primary school in the north ocean, commemorated the 80th anniversary of the victory in the war against japan and fascism as a theme of “common tribute to the british”. In the 8th road army martyrs' mansion in shanxi wu commune, 700 junior military cadets presented flowers and passed on the images of the spirit of the british as a moving collective action in a standard and dignified manner。
The center for middle and middle-range centres, which focus on the concept of political education as a central driving force, is actively exploring ways to integrate and develop red culture, traditional culture and national defence education in cooperation with military schools in various regions。
Take the example of the junior military school at the boy scout's palace in hebei. In many forms, the event vividly showcased the knowledge of tunnel warfare, and the young pioneers entered the monument of the tsang dynasty, deeply sensed the bravery of the revolutionaries through readings, swearings, visits, etc。
In the "stander of the nation" model class, hand-to-hand with models like rockets, airplanes, in the "long march spirit" experience class, reading poetry, reading road maps, watching documentaries... In recent years, the immersion course at the beijing juvenile military school has been almost full。
The deputy secretary of the beijing youth service centre party told the journalist that “the educational experience at the beijing city junior military school is developing new attempts and explorations for the curriculum in keeping with innovative ideas. We hope that, through this immersive experience, interactive learning, national defence education will become more lively and interesting, and that children will also be able to strengthen the concept of national defence in their subdued silence.”
