Education law and education policy are two important fields in the field of education, which are closely related and have some differences. This paper will discuss the relationship between education law and education policy from many aspects to help readers better understand these two fields.

Closely linked

Education policy is the cornerstone of making education laws and regulations. These laws and regulations make the educational policy concrete and provide us with a clear code of conduct.

Different recipe themes

The education law is formulated by state power organs and state administrative organs in strict accordance with legal procedures and has high authority. Educational policy makers are more diverse, which can be political party organizations, state legislatures and state administrative organs.

Different execution methods

The education law, backed by the state's coercive power, is extremely binding. Any organization or individual must abide by it and shall not violate it. However, the implementation of education policy mainly depends on the strength of the party and government or the discipline of the party, and it is implemented by means of calling, propaganda, education, explanation and mobilization, and its coercive power is relatively limited.

The validity of norms has its own characteristics.

As a social norm, the Education Law clarifies human rights and obligations and is binding on all social members and administrative personnel. The educational policies formulated by the state legislature and the state administrative organs are universally binding. As for the educational policies formulated by political party organs, their normative function is limited to political party organizations and their party member.
