Abstract：The choice of educational development strategies is an important factor affecting educational effectiveness, and also reflects the cognitive ability of the development subject. Using the historical approach to study the development of education in the past 100 years since the founding of the CPC, it is found that the Party has always adhered to the basic strategy of university going ahead of the rest, giving full play to the leading, exemplary and strategic role of universities in the development of education, and has achieved remarkable results. The choice of the strategy of university going ahead of the rest of the CPC reflects the phased characteristics of spontaneity, selfconsciousness, automation and autonomy in turn, which shows that the CPC has continuously improved its cognitive ability of university going ahead of the rest, and can adjust the content and method of university first according to the changes of situation and tasks. In addition to the phased background and reasons for the CPC to choose the basic strategy of university going ahead of the rest, it also lies in its adherence to the world outlook and methodology, the inheritance of the historical development tradition of education, and the exploration of the educational development path of late developing countries. In the new era, promoting the modernization of Chinese style education should continue to adhere to the strategy of putting universities first, and pay attention to grasping the development order, guarantee, and status of universities.
