The labor education in the new period is based on the wholeness of human beings, integrates multi-disciplinary knowledge, integrates human beings, society and nature, and organically integrates theoretical knowledge into the real society, which plays an important role in the development of students' sound personality. However, for some time, the unique educational value of labor has been neglected to some extent.
The opinion fully affirmed that labor education "has the comprehensive educational value of self-cultivation, intelligence enhancement, physical fitness and aesthetic education" and demanded that the whole party and society attach great importance to it, "insist on moral education" and "run labor education through the whole process of talent training".
Productive labor is the basis for the survival and development of human society and the most basic practical activity of human beings. In primitive society, everyone had to work to survive. In class society, manual labor and mental labor are separated and opposed, and the exploiting class regards manual workers as the object of exploitation and oppression.
In socialist China, public ownership of the means of production has been realized, and exploitation and oppression have been eliminated. Working people are the masters of their own affairs, and labor is the glorious obligation of every citizen. Distribution according to work is the basic principle of socialism. Every citizen should work hard and contribute to socialist modernization.
