With the continuous advancement of quality education reform and the continuous development of socialist core values education, the cultivation of patriotism is becoming more and more important in the current education system. As a talent reserve for national development and national rejuvenation, primary school students must strengthen patriotism education and deepen the teaching reform of socialist value system, so as to cultivate qualified successors for the socialist cause. Patriotic education for primary school students is a large-scale project that requires the active participation of the whole society and must be jointly promoted by schools, parents, the government and other parties. Starting from the development of the current teaching system, this paper explores the current situation of patriotism education in primary schools and reflects on the problems and countermeasures in the education process for discussion and reference.展开更多
