What is the essence and significance of education?
The real essence of education is not only mathematics, physics, books, knowledge and culture, but also the all-round development of morality, intelligence, physique and beauty. It is also the spirit of freedom, the responsibility of citizens, lofty aspirations, the basis of critical and independent thinking, self-awareness all the time, the ability of lifelong learning and happiness.

Real education is not only to impart knowledge and skills, but also to cultivate high-quality all-round talents who can be competent in any subject and occupation. Education can make a person have a clear and conscious understanding of his own views and judgments. Only education can enable students to clarify their views reasonably, express their views convincingly and have the power to encourage publicity.

Education enables students to see the world as it really is, distinguish right from wrong, analyze problems to the point, and be creative and pioneering. At present, the focus of our school education is patriotism education, quality education, legal education, honesty education, mental health education, future ideal education and so on.

A new generation of young people, including the post-90s generation, was born in an era when the national economy took off and the society attached importance to education, and they caught up with the rapid development of the Internet in their growth, which is also an era when China changed from "catching up" with the West to "looking up" to the West.

This generation has higher quality, stronger self-confidence, stronger desire for expression, more diversified pursuit of life, broader international vision, and should also have a more rational, peaceful, pluralistic and inclusive big country mentality. With so many innate advantages, the younger generation is both enviable and worthy of "high hopes". After all, intergenerational change is the ultimate force for social renewal and progress.
