First, education is a unique social phenomenon of human beings.

Second, education is to cultivate the educated consciously, purposefully and consciously.

Extended data:

The only feature of macro education is "focusing on people's quality and ability", which shows that judging whether an activity is education is not the result. In reality, not all educational activities can achieve the expected results, and some even fail. However, some activities, such as research activities and publicity activities, can affect people's quality and ability, but they are not recognized as educational activities.

When people hold different positions and pay attention to people's quality and ability, they can look at people's quality and ability from both positive and negative aspects, develop and strengthen some people's quality and ability positively, and weaken and restrain some people's quality and ability negatively.

People's qualities and abilities can be divided into congenital and acquired. Innate, like other animals, is created by the long-term evolution of nature. What is obtained can be divided into two situations, one is obtained or realized unintentionally; Secondly, it was deliberately made by people. Macro-education summarizes all activities deliberately carried out for people's quality and ability.
