(d) School education has the function of developing individual's special talents and personality.

(1) School education makes social norms on the direction and aspects of personal development according to the basic requirements of society for individuals.

The requirements or expectations of society for individuals include physique, ideology and morality, and knowledge and ability, and a series of norms have been put forward. According to these requirements, the school has made corresponding changes according to the requirements of different age stages and different professional talents training, consciously standardized other work of the school in the form of educational goals and objectives, and promoted students to achieve standardized goals through various educational activities.

(2) School education has the special function of promoting individual development.

The school education goal is clear, the time is relatively concentrated, and there are special personnel to guide and carry out special education activities. In addition, school education makes individuals in a certain learning group, and different levels of individual development are also conducive to individual development. If school education can correctly judge students' recent development areas, this acceleration will be more obvious and effective.

(3) School education has the function of developing individual special talents and personality.

In the aspect of developing special talents, the diversity of educational contents in ordinary schools and the differences of talents among students in the same student group are helpful to the expression and discovery of individual special talents. In the aspect of personality development, because school teachers and leaders have educational and psychological literacy, it helps them to develop the value of students' personality and respect and pay attention to the healthy development of students' personality. At the same time, students' life in the group also helps everyone to learn from others and enrich their own personality.

(4) The influence of school education, especially elementary and secondary education, on individual development has not only immediate value, but also delayed value.

In addition, school education has improved people's demand level, self-awareness and self-education ability, which is of far-reaching significance to people's development.

(5) The influence of school education is comprehensive, systematic and profound.

School education is a systematic education of various scientific and cultural knowledge and a certain ideological and moral education for students according to the requirements of a certain society and a certain purpose, by selecting appropriate content and using concentrated time. The influence of other aspects in the environment is often spontaneous, accidental and fragmented, which is incomparable to school education.

(6) The school has teachers in charge of education.

School education is carried out through specially trained teachers. Teachers are entrusted by society to educate students. They have the responsibility to educate their students well. They are completely concerned about students' thoughts, studies and bodies. They also know the purpose of education, are familiar with the content of education, know the laws and methods of education, and consciously promote students to develop in a certain direction. The lack of such full-time educators in the environment is not as good as the conditions of schools and the efficiency of education in general. The leading role of education in human development is more obvious in the growth of the younger generation, whose main task is to learn. Their knowledge acquisition and ideological and moral formation mainly depend on the education given to them by adults. Different from adults, their knowledge growth and ideological and moral improvement depend more on work practice, self-study and self-cultivation besides their education. Therefore, education plays a greater role in the development of the younger generation than in the development of adults.

Of course, it is not unconditional for school education to give full play to the special function of individual development. He asked the school to act in accordance with the laws of education and actively coordinate the influence from all sides.
