The purpose of education is to make people enlightened, wise and rational, and then promote the development of all aspects of society. And compulsory education is the foundation to achieve this goal, which shows how important the position and role of compulsory education is in the development and growth of a society.

Compulsory education: due diligence, not talking about introducing education;

This seems simple, but it's actually very complicated. Many educators, thinkers and some famous people at home and abroad have their own conclusions about the significance of education. Cai Yuanpei: Education is to help the educated develop their abilities, improve their personality and do their part in human culture, instead of making the educated a special tool. Tao Xingzhi: Education is a life education based on and for life, and it cultivates people with action ability, thinking ability and creativity. Einstein: What is education? When you forget all the education, the rest is education. Montessori: Education is to stimulate life, enrich life, help children survive with their own strength and help them develop this spirit. All kinds of theories, each with its own merits, only explain personal understanding of education from a certain angle.

Education is a kind of inheritance and promotion of human morality, science, technology, knowledge reserve and spiritual realm, and it is also the transmission of human civilization. Broadly speaking, all activities that enhance people's knowledge and skills and affect people's ideology and morality are education. Education in a narrow sense mainly refers to school education, which means that educators exert purposeful, planned and organized influence on the body and mind of the educated according to the requirements of a certain society (or class) and cultivate them into people needed by a certain society (or class).
