Political and principled
Politics is the fundamental feature of education policy, which directly reflects the interests and requirements of the policy makers. Principle means that the content of education policy must clearly reflect the political intention of the interests of political parties and countries, and it stipulates what people should do, what they should not do, and what they should advocate or encourage.
Purpose and feasibility
Education policy is formulated by people according to certain needs, is the product of people's subjective consciousness and initiative, and has a clear purpose. Clear purpose is the basic feature of education policy, and there is no education policy without purpose. In order to make the purpose of education policy come true, we must also consider the feasibility of education policy.
Stability and discontinuity
Once the education policy is formulated and published, it will remain relatively unchanged in its effective time and space.
Legitimacy and authority
The constitutionality of the behavior of the party and the state determines the legitimacy and authority of the educational policies they promulgated.
System and multifunction
The systematicness of education policy determines that the actions guided by education policy must involve all aspects of education, which determines that the functions of education policy must be multi-faceted, not single and scattered.
