Principal Gao Xinqiao said, first, the course marked another outcome of the strategic cooperation agreement between CUPL and Beijing No. 19 High School, which provided a solid foundation for the two schools to strengthen cooperation. Second, the course was tailored and targeted for Beijing No. 19 High School, thus providing more opportunities and a wider range of perspectives and resources to the students. Finally, it is hoped that the law course will inspire students to understand the importance of "morality and law" and take the initiative to strengthen their moral integrity in a bid to cultivate better talents for building a country ruled by law.
