The role of education in culture is reflected in the following aspects.
1. Dissemination-the function of preserving culture. Education transmits culture, so that the new generation can quickly, economically and efficiently possess the essence of spiritual and cultural wealth created by human beings, and quickly grow into "cultural people" who can absorb, appreciate and create culture. At the same time, education internalizes human spiritual and cultural wealth into individual spiritual wealth. In this way, human spiritual wealth has found the safest and most renewable "treasury", and education has the function of preserving culture.

2. Communication-the function of enriching culture. The spread of culture generally refers to the process of spreading the culture of one social community to another social and cultural community, which is one-way; Cultural exchange is the mutual communication between two or more cultural groups, which is two-way or multi-directional. Cultural exchange is a process of self-transcendence for both sides, and it is also a process of injecting vitality and fresh blood into themselves. As an important means and way to spread and exchange culture, education has the function of enriching culture.

3. Choice-enhancing the function of culture. The so-called choice of educational culture is to meet the requirements of the development of the times. The dross of social culture must be abandoned and the essence needs to be carried forward. This requires education to screen "culture" and pass the screened culture on to the next generation, thus promoting the progress and development of culture. Education's choice of culture is an important internal mechanism of cultural progress, so education also has the function of promoting culture. The choice of culture by education means the choice of value and the change of cognitive intention, which is for the development and progress of culture itself. School education is essentially the guidance of cultural values.

4. Create-renew cultural functions. Education is a dynamic element in the cultural structure, and its function is based on the above functions.
