The relationship between education and society is mutually restricted and promoted. As a subsystem of society, the education system is restricted by all aspects of other systems, and at the same time it has a dynamic reaction to other systems. Productivity, political and economic system, culture and other aspects all restrict education. At the same time, education can also promote the productive forces, political and economic systems and culture in social development. Education is the basic way of labor reproduction, the most effective form of scientific knowledge reproduction, and the important foundation for creating and developing new science and technology. Education serves social politics, cultivates political management talents and promotes political democratization. At the same time, education can also guide and create social and political public opinion, improve productivity and improve the quality and efficiency of workers. Fully understanding and accurately grasping the relationship between education and society is the ideological premise to ensure the normal and smooth development of education in society.
