Science is a weapon for human beings to understand and transform the world, and the most basic way for human beings to inherit and master science is education. The essence that distinguishes human beings from animals is their thinking ability and working ability, which are promoted by productivity and scientific level. If human beings give up education, they will return to the life of primitive society. In addition, education can promote individual socialization, help them form social values, improve self-concept, master social skills and shape social roles; It can also promote individual personality, which is mainly manifested in awakening human life, consciously respecting individual differences and uniqueness, and promoting individual and creative development. They are two indispensable aspects of human development, and the ultimate goal of human social development is to achieve the perfect unity of social requirements and personality development. Contemporary China should realize comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development of economy, society and people under the guidance of Scientific Outlook on Development.
