Abstract

Open-door education serves as a vital channel for harnessing public supervision. By embracing this approach, a broad spectrum of public opinions can be gathered, thereby providing a scientific foundation to guide corrective measures and ensuring that such reforms genuinely address the concerns of the public. Furthermore, it offers clear guidance on focal points for reform, guaranteeing targeted and effective improvements. In the context of evolving conditions in the new era, numerous favorable opportunities for public supervision have emerged alongside several challenges. Cognitive barriers stand as the primary impediment to public engagement in open-door education, while obstructed channels of communication constitute a critical constraint. Additionally, institutional deficiencies represent a significant factor hindering public participation. To enhance the efficacy of open-door education, efforts must be concentrated on three key dimensions: honoring the pioneering spirit of the public by wholeheartedly embracing a posture of eager learning; addressing the urgent and pressing concerns of the public by fully opening avenues for social sentiment and public opinion; and encouraging critical supervision by widely welcoming constructive criticism and public counsel.
