Chinese schoolchildren will soon be studying President Xi Jinpings political ideology after it becomes official Communist Party dogma later this week.

Education Minister Chen Baosheng said the new ideology, unveiled at the start of the partys national congress last week, would be incorporated into curriculums across the country.

"[The thought will] go into textbooks, into classes, and into the brains [of students]," Chen said last week on the sidelines of the congress.

"We will design specific teaching methods that combine texts ... of various grades and subjects."
