1, the purpose of education is both the starting point and the destination of education. All educational work is carried out around educational purposes. To determine the learning content and organizational form, and to choose the educational methods, we should proceed from the educational purpose and make it meet the requirements of the educational purpose. On the other hand, the quality of education and the success of educational work must be measured by the educational purpose and the realization of educational purpose. Therefore, the purpose of education is the end-result of educational work.

The purpose of education is to improve the quality of education. Because education is a complex activity of cultivating people and has a long period, the education of students must be carried out in a planned and systematic way. Therefore, only by clarifying the purpose of education can we point out the common direction for all educational forces, make everyone keep pace and cooperate closely, and ensure the quality of personnel training. This is the guiding significance and guiding role of educational purpose.

3. The purpose of education stipulates the fundamental direction of school education and students' development, the fundamental guiding ideology of running a school, the general direction of students' development, the starting point and destination of school education, and restricts the whole process. Schools can only run schools according to educational purposes, otherwise they will deviate from the correct direction of running schools.

4. The purpose of education stipulates the basic quality specifications of school education and personnel training, and plays a role in selecting, coordinating, adjusting and controlling the contents and activities of school education.

There are many standards to measure the quality of running a school and the quality of students' development, but the fundamental standard is the educational purpose. Generally speaking, the quality of school education that follows and realizes the school education goals is high. On the other hand, if it deviates from the educational purpose, its educational quality can not be high.
