Educational function refers to the responsibility and role of social organizations, institutions and the state in implementing and managing education.

Before the country came into being, primitive tribal organizations mainly assumed and played an educational role. After the country came into being, the educational function became one of the functions of the country. However, school education has not been fully developed and has become a public demand, and when religion and education are integrated, the educational function is not one of the main functions of the country.

After the industrial revolution and the bourgeois revolution, with the full development of school education and the separation of education and religion, the educational function has gradually become a major function of the country. At the same time, religious organizations, enterprises and institutions, foundations and other social organizations or institutions also undertake and play certain educational functions.
