Social Education Movement
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
In 1963, Mao Zedong launched the Social Education Movement or the Four Cleanups Movement in the People's Republic of China. Mao sought to remove what he believed to be "reactionary" elements within the bureaucracy of the Communist Party of China, saying that "governance is also a process of socialist education." The Movement, whose goal was to cleanse politics, economy, organization, and ideology, was to last until 1966.
