Detailed introduction:

Judging from the development history of human society and education, education emerged with the emergence of human society and is unique to human society. From the first day of its birth, education has already possessed the two most important and basic functions of transmitting social production experience and social life experience. People and society rely on productive labor to maintain their lives, and rely on education to transmit the experience of social production and social life.

Without education, no society can produce and reproduce material wealth and human beings themselves. It can be seen that education is a necessary condition for the existence and development of human society, and an indispensable means for the material materials of human society and the reproduction of human beings themselves.

In this sense, education is a universal and eternal category of human social life, which is eternal. The existence and development of society can not be separated from education for a moment. Education is an eternal cause, an eternal job and an eternal social phenomenon.

Education comes into being and develops with the development of human society. In different periods of human society, education has different nature, characteristics, contents and forms due to different levels of productivity development, production relations and political systems. Therefore, education is historic. The historicity of education is embodied in two aspects: the times and the class nature. The times of education mainly means that the development of education is restricted by the development level of productive forces in different times.

Different times have different education, different times have different characteristics, and education in the same era (regardless of its social nature) also has some common characteristics of the times. The class nature of education is one of the educational attributes of class society. The class nature of education mainly refers to the problem of which class to train the educated as successors, that is, who education serves. The class nature of education is determined by the ruling class in a certain society, which is reflected in the sociality of education.
