A: First of all, productivity plays a decisive role in education, as follows: (1) The level of productivity determines the scale and speed of education. Setting up education needs to invest some manpower, material resources and financial resources. The scale and speed of any social education development are influenced and restricted by two conditions. On the one hand, what kind of material basis can the production of material materials provide for the development of education? On the other hand, what is the demand for labor force in the development of productive forces and social reproduction, including the total demand for labor force and the proportion of various labor forces. (2) The level of productivity restricts the change of educational structure. Educational structure refers to the multi-level and multi-type school combination and proportion composition including basic education, higher education, vocational and technical education and adult education. The development level of social productive forces and socio-economic structure have a restrictive effect on the educational structure. The development of productive forces will lead to changes in industrial structure, technical structure, consumption structure and distribution structure, which requires that the educational structure must also be adjusted. (3) The development level of productive forces restricts the content and means of education. With the continuous development and progress of productivity and science and technology, people's cognitive ability and thinking level must be constantly improved, which requires the curriculum structure and content of the school to be constantly developed and updated to adapt to this change and need. Similarly, the school's teaching equipment and experimental instruments are production tools and the application of science and technology in the field of education, which can reflect the level of production development at that time. (4) Education is relatively independent of the development level of productive forces. Although productivity has a restrictive effect on education, from the historical development, the development of education and productivity is not completely synchronized, which is manifested in the following two situations: first, in a certain historical period, people's ideology lags behind the more advanced productivity, which is reflected in education that the content, methods and means of education and teaching also lag behind the development of productivity; On the other hand, although the productivity is at a low level, due to the influence of cultural exchange, social transformation or advanced ideas, the ideological content and methods of education may also exceed the development level of productivity.

Secondly, education can promote productivity, which is manifested as: (1) education reproduces labor. The quantity and quality of labor force is an important factor affecting the development level of productive forces, and education plays an important role in labor reproduction. Education can improve the quality of workers and enable them to acquire certain skills and skills. Education can also change the form of labor and make it develop in an all-round way. (2) Education reproduces scientific knowledge. Education can realize its function of reproducing scientific knowledge by accumulating and transmitting scientific knowledge, and can effectively expand the reproduction of scientific knowledge, so that the scientific knowledge originally mastered by a few people can be mastered by designated people in a short time, thus popularizing scientific knowledge, popularizing advanced production experience, improving labor production efficiency and promoting the development of productive forces.
