Driven by the two basic contradictions of productivity and production relations, economic base and superstructure, human society has entered the era of knowledge economy. Productivity-people's ability to transform nature to obtain material means of life is not what it used to be. Let's talk about the factors of workers: the primary factors of workers' productivity include physical strength and intelligence. With the rapid development of modern productive forces, compared with physical strength, intellectual expenditure has undeniably occupied an increasingly important position and even played a decisive role in the production process. Therefore, from the perspective of development, there will be fewer and fewer laborers who are mainly manual labor. People with physical strength but no intelligence or mental retardation can not only fail to contribute to social development, but even become a burden to society. "One more illiterate person today may have one more rogue tomorrow; If you don't spend money to build a school today, you may have to spend money to build a prison tomorrow. " It is by no means alarmist! The era of knowledge economy is also an era of fierce competition. Competition, in the final analysis, is the competition of talents. Whether a country, a nation or a region can occupy a favorable position in the highly competitive knowledge economy era and whether it can have all kinds of resources needed for its own development depends, in the final analysis, on talents with modern scientific and technological knowledge and skills. The cultivation of talents depends on the development level and quality of education. From the factors of labor materials: production tool system, power system to start production tools, energy system, transportation and storage system, information transmission system necessary to realize the best combination of various labor materials, etc. Due to new scientific and technological inventions and rapid innovation of knowledge, many of them are not material systems decades or even years ago. From the point of view of labor objects, mineral resources are mined and dug indiscriminately, forests are cut down indiscriminately, and products are shoddy or even fake. Although it can also obtain temporary rapid development and short-term material wealth, this barbaric practice of human beings competing for resources, consumption, killing the goose that lays the golden eggs and accumulating original capital has brought disastrous punishment to human beings. The fundamental way to change this situation is to educate human beings. Therefore, learning to teach, giving priority to developing education, building a powerful country with human resources and improving people's scientific and cultural quality are scientific decisions made by our party with a profound grasp of the law of human social development.
