集体学习实际上早在上个世纪80年代就开始了,不过以前学习较多的是法律方面的内容。1989年江泽民同志任总书记后基本上每年举办1至2次。党的十六大后,中央政治局把集体学习作为一项制度长期坚持。武汉大学教授周叶中是集体学习制度确定后的“首批讲师” Collective learning actually began as early as the 1980s, but the legal aspects were more learned in the past. In 1989, Comrade Jiang Zemin held the general secretary once or twice a year. After the party’s 16th National Congress, the Central Political Bureau has long held collective learning as a system. Zhou Yezhong, a professor at Wuhan University, is the first lecturer after the collective learning system was established.
