Our country has long noticed the relationship between education and society. Kong Qiu, an ancient educator, put forward the theory of "being rich in peace means teaching" and realized the relationship between population growth, economic development and education. Xue Ji in the pre-Qin period put forward that "learning is the only way to turn people into customs" and "governing the country and keeping the people safe, teaching first", expressing the understanding of the relationship between education and social politics at that time.
However, sociology of education, as a specialized knowledge, began in the modern west. 1883 American sociologist L.F.? Ward's book Dynamic Sociology was published, in which a chapter was devoted to the relationship between education and social progress.
