Millions of government officials and civil servants on the mainland have been asked to learn ancient Chinese classics - or "guoxue" - as part of a patriotic indoctrination course aimed at boosting their talents and morals and for a nation-wide examination. The Chinese Academy of Governance has published its first series of textbooks on ancient Chinese classics aimed at officials. The Legal Daily reported on June 16, 2015, that  "All the current government cadres at various levels will be asked to undergo the training course on traditional Chinese culture, provided by the Chinese Academy of Governance and its affiliates at provincial level governments." The textbooks cover topics including philosophy, self-cultivation of character, governance, personnel management, rule of law, education and social morality. The books also contain materials similar to those prepared for the ideological education of students at primary and secondary schools. Officials will be encouraged to study the textbooks on their own, though doing so will not be compulsory.
