1. The positive role of education refers to the positive influence and function of education on social progress and individual development. The educational function, economic function, political function and cultural function of education often refer to the positive function of education. In the process of implementing education, to promote the realization of the positive function of education, we must fully follow the objective laws of social development and human development. The negative contribution of education refers to the negative influence and function that hinders social progress and individual development. The negative function of education is due to the incompatibility between education and political and economic development, the incorrect values and thinking mode of educators, the unreasonable internal structure of education and other factors, which hinder the development of society and people to varying degrees.

2. The relative independence of education means that education has its own laws and plays a dynamic role in social economy, politics and culture.
