Aiming to enhance teaching in Law majors, the Ministry of Education (MOE) instructed the teaching committees of such majors in colleges and universities to bring in high-quality teachers from across the country, and use the national online-training platform for university teachers to present lectures on Xi Jinping Thought on the Rule of  Law. The Open University of China (OUC) offered 13 such lectures from 13 teachers, all among China's top jurists, biweekly from 28 May to 6 July 2021.

To set up the training, the OUC Faculty of Political Science and Law communicated with the national online-training platform to make arrangements, and ensure that each branch and school would have a venue and that the training requirements and methods would be implemented appropriately. The OUC also issued a system-wide announcement to make sure all its law teachers would participate. During the training, venues in Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Heilongjiang, Fujian, Zhejiang, Dalian, Changchun and Henan combined individual study with group learning and discussions by organising WeChat study groups, and encouraged teachers to make use of what they learned in their ideological and political teaching. Feedback from OUC branches and schools showed that the teachers had read the original texts of Xi Jinping Thought on the Rule of Law thoroughly and systematically, grasping their principles, and pledging to work hard to communicate it to their students.

The OUC Faculty of Political Science and Law will take this event as an opportunity to implement the work of teaching Xi Jinping Thought on the Rule of Law through various means, including construction of an introductory course on this topic and a teaching-plan competition for ideological and political education within the Faculty, promoting the quality of law education at the OUC.
