Educational function

1, social function

The social function of education mainly refers to the reaction of education to social development. The development level of productive forces restricts the development level of education, which in turn promotes the development of social productive forces. There are five different relations of production in history, so there are five different kinds of education.

A country controls education through its educational principles and policies, which in turn serves to consolidate its rule and plays an important role in social politics and economy. Education is an integral part of culture and plays an important role in the inheritance and development of culture. The influence of economy and politics on education is often reflected by the development of culture. Education is also national and regional.

China attached great importance to the social and political functions of education in ancient times. "Xue Ji" pointed out: "Building the country and the people, teaching comes first." "If you want to turn people into customs, you must learn." Dong Zhongshu, an educator in the Han Dynasty, summed up the historical experience of China's educational development in his book "Good Policy is Virtuous" and made a suggestion to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "The ancient monarch knew this well, so to govern the world from the south, education must be the most important task."

In a word, education has an important social function, which is one of the essential characteristics of education. Education can promote social production and consolidate economic foundation; Education can be a means of social and political struggle, affecting the construction of democracy and legal system; Education can preserve, inherit and even create human culture; Education can also protect the environment, control population and so on. Therefore, the social function of education is multifaceted.
