Economy is the foundation for the survival and development of human society. A certain level of economic development provides economic conditions for education, and also puts forward certain requirements for the development of education. The relationship between economy and education is embodied in several aspects:
(A) economic development is the material basis for the development of education.
Economic development provides a certain amount of manpower, material resources and financial resources for running schools.
(2) Economic development determines the scale and speed of education development.
A country's illiteracy rate, the years of compulsory education popularization and the degree of higher education popularization are all related to the country's economic development level.
(c) The economic structure and changes caused by economic development affect the changes in the educational structure.
The economic structure and changes caused by economic development such as industrial structure, industrial structure and consumption structure affect the changes of educational structure, such as the proportional relationship between universities, middle schools and primary schools, the ratio between ordinary secondary schools and vocational secondary schools, and the setting and proportion of different majors in colleges and universities.
(d) The level of economic development limits the content and means of education.
The dissemination of knowledge in schools is a reflection of the level of economic development and scientific and technological development in a certain historical stage, and educational means are also a reflection of the level of modern science and technology.
