Abstract: To implement the pilot initiatives of the Ministry of Education on undergraduate education and teaching reform in basic disciplines (series of “101 Plans”) and to promote the cultivation of innovative talents, the Chemistry “101 Plan” aims to identify new paths for high-quality independent training of outstanding innovative talents in chemistry by taking the reform of chemical teaching as a breakthrough and experimental zone. This initiative focuses on developing 12 core courses and corresponding core textbooks, exploring digital and intelligent educational methods and cultivating a core teaching team, via concentrating national strengths in the field of chemistry. This article introduces the significant measures, progress, and future plans of the Chemistry “101 Plan”, focusing on the construction of core elements, including organization, curricula (theory and experiment), textbooks, and faculty.

Key words: Chemistry “101 Plan”, Education and teaching reform, Course construction, Textbook system, Teaching plan construction
