Abstract: The overall national security concept is an important guiding ideology in China’s national security work in the new era, and it is also the core content of cultivating college students’ national security awareness and carrying out national security education work. As the main part of ideological and political education, colleges and universities should actively promote the integration of the overall national security concept into ideological and political course teaching. Integrating the overall national security concept into ideological and political education courses is conducive to fulfilling the fundamental task of cultivating people’s moral character and integrity, strengthening national security awareness, deepening reform and innovation of the ideological and political education system, and promoting the construction of Marxist theory. The teaching content should be reformed to effectively link national security education with ideological and political education content. At the same time, efforts should be made to enhance national security awareness, integrate teaching resources, and innovate teaching modes to optimize the educational environment for the overall national security concept and enhance the effectiveness of education.
