The Ministry of Education has launched a program entitled 鈥淐ommon Lessons on National Security Education Day 2020,鈥 on multiple online platforms, including the official website and mobile app of the Open University of China 鈥 a government-sponsored online educational institution.
In cooperation with renowned experts and prestigious domestic universities like Tsinghua University, the program features a series of lectures and courses covering various topics about national security, which are being livestreamed or posted online.
