Education, as an activity of cultivating people, has become the consensus of the education circles in China. If the "fundamental problem" of education embodies the essence of education, then the "primary problem" of "who to train" is the most concentrated and vivid embodiment of the essence of education.
There are many schools of thought about education and running schools at home and abroad, with different theoretical viewpoints, but there is a consensus that education must cultivate people needed by social development. Specifically, cultivating people who need social development means cultivating people who need social development, knowledge accumulation, cultural inheritance, national survival and system operation. Therefore, at all times and all over the world, every country trains talents according to its own political requirements, and world-class universities have grown up in serving their own country's development.
China's socialist education is to train socialist builders and successors. Cultivating socialist builders and successors has been established as the fundamental task of China's educational work and the direction goal of educational modernization, which is determined by the nature of China's education and is the unity of particularity and universality. It is a profound reflection of the inherent nature of education and a conscious application of the law of educational development.
The benefits of education in cultivating talents

By cultivating high-quality talents, all industries and fields can acquire more professional skills and innovative ability, promote scientific and technological progress and productivity, and promote economic growth and the development of innovation and entrepreneurship.
2. Social progress and stability: Education helps to cultivate citizens' sense of social responsibility and moral values, and promotes the realization of social equity and social justice. Well-educated people are more likely to understand other people's viewpoints, enhance cooperation awareness and cultural exchanges, and reduce social conflicts and differences. Education can also improve citizens' political quality, cultivate democratic consciousness and ability to participate in politics, and promote the process of social democratization and rule of law.
