The purpose of basic education is to cultivate perfect personality and cultivate people who can speak, write and behave gracefully, while the purpose of higher education is to cultivate people who explore and spread the truth. In university, study must be comprehensive and all-encompassing.

The idea that this kind of education should include all branches of knowledge is reflected in the whole process of education, and basic education pays more attention to comprehensive education. The word "encyclopedia" we use today comes from the concept of basic education in Byzantium. Although law, physics and medicine belong to vocational education, students can study freely in universities.
