The guiding role of education law means that education law embodies the purpose and policy of national education development and guides people to carry out educational activities according to the purpose and requirements of the country. It is the external expression of the normative function of education law in the process of educational practice. The education law is the embodiment of the educational will of the ruling class of the country, which clearly stipulates what can be done with the approval and encouragement of the state, what must be done with the order of the state, and what is forbidden. This kind of guidance has two aspects: first, positive guidance, that is, education law can guide people to do what the country can do in a positive or positive way; The second is negative guidance, that is, education law can guide people in a negative way what they can't and shouldn't do. Both standards are based on the assumption of legal liability.

(B), the role of evaluation

As a universal code of conduct for compulsory education in China, education law has the function of judging and measuring people's educational behavior, that is, the evaluation function, which is the external expression of the function of educational laws and regulations. There are many standards to judge the value of educational activities and educational relations, the most basic of which is educational legal norms. The evaluation of educational legal norms is an absolute evaluation, and its evaluation function has two characteristics: First, the evaluation of educational legal norms has outstanding objectivity. The legal norms of education clearly stipulate what is ok and what is not. The legal standards of education are aimed at all people and institutions, and the educational activities or behaviors of any organization or individual are based on educational laws. Second, the evaluation of educational legal norms has universal validity. As long as people's behavior enters the scope of education law, the evaluation of educational legal norms is effective for them. If they don't want to be punished by law, their behavior must conform to the education law.
