Education is a socialized process, which aims to promote the intellectual, moral, social and cultural development of human beings by imparting knowledge, skills and values. Education is not only carried out in schools, it is a lifelong process, covering family, community, career and personal development. The essence of education is to cultivate people's all-round development, make people adapt to social needs and challenges, and realize self-worth and happiness. To realize the return of the essence of education is to transform "exam-oriented education" into quality education.

How to make education return to the essence? The fundamental change of educational concept is the foundation, ideology is the forerunner of human action, and certain educational behavior is subject to the corresponding educational ideology. Education is a systematic project, and the emergence of "exam-oriented education" is caused by many reasons. Therefore, in the process of transformation, society, schools and families are all facing the problem of changing educational ideas and concepts, but the change of teachers' educational concepts is the core issue. Because teachers are the direct undertakers of educational work. So, what educational concepts should we change?

First of all, we should change the concept of education. We should arm our minds with the educational thought of "Three Orientations" put forward by Comrade Deng Xiaoping, strive to improve our understanding that "only students who are suitable for education can choose, and students who are suitable for education cannot choose", establish the concept of all-round development and face all, and overcome the tendency of one-sided pursuit of enrollment rate.

Secondly, we should change the view of students. Students are the growing social subject, so we should try our best to awaken students' subjective consciousness, encourage students to take the initiative to participate, and truly teach students in accordance with their aptitude in teaching, so that every student can develop healthily. Efforts should be made to overcome the traditional concept that students are regarded as passive recipients.

Third, we should change the concept of talents. If we want to re-establish the talent concept of "seventy-two lines, each doing its own thing", everyone who contributes to the country is a talent concept. In the practice of education and teaching, "Dont Ask For Help people go to school just to become talents." Efforts should be made to overcome the narrow concept that only college students and scientists are talents.

Fourth, we should change the concept of evaluation. The evaluation of education quality should not only focus on students' test scores and the enrollment rate of a school, but should unify the enrollment rate and the qualified rate, and see how many qualified talents a school has delivered to a high-level school and how many qualified builders it has trained. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a comprehensive, integrated and comprehensive quality evaluation standard.
