Because of the relative independence of education, when analyzing and studying educational problems, we can't just examine education from the level of productivity development, economic and technological development, political system and cultural requirements; We should also pay attention to the relative independence of education, give full play to its unique social function and follow the regularity and continuity of education itself.

② The relative independence of education cannot be understood as absolute independence.

In the final analysis, education is determined by the development level of productive forces and the nature of political and economic system, and is restricted by the development and demand of national culture. The social constraint of education is still its fundamental feature. If the relative independence of education is regarded as absolute independence, it will lead education to the wrong path of "super economy", "super politics" and "super culture" and lose the social foundation and motivation of educational development.

③ On the basis of attaching importance to the social constraints of education, respect the independence of education.

Education is education in a certain society, and social constraint is its fundamental feature, while education has its own characteristics and laws and is relatively independent. Therefore, we should respect the relative independence of education on the basis of attaching importance to the social constraints of education, so that education can meet the needs of society, conform to its own laws and develop healthily and reasonably.

In a word, education should adapt to the development level of productivity, political and economic system and national culture in this era, and at the same time respect the relative independence of education and realize the dialectical unity of the two.
