As a social phenomenon, higher education does not exist in isolation. It is closely related to the development of the whole society and other social phenomena. They restrict each other, depend on each other and develop in the interaction. We should study the relationship between them and understand and recognize the social function of higher education. ?
Higher education and economic development?
On the one hand, economic development plays a decisive role in the development of higher education. On the other hand, higher education and economic development go hand in hand to promote economic development. There is an essential connection between them. What is the restrictive effect of economic development on education? Economy is the foundation for the survival and development of human society, and it is the decisive factor that causes the development and changes of all human social life. A certain level of economic development provides economic conditions for the development of education, and also puts forward certain objective requirements for the development of higher education. ?
Economic development is the material basis for the development of higher education? First of all, higher education is the product of economic development to a certain extent. In social production practice, only by obtaining enough surplus labor time and surplus labor products can human beings provide corresponding material conditions and labor security for the educated. ? Secondly, the level of social and economic development directly determines the development of higher education. Higher education should cultivate senior professionals involved in all sectors and aspects of the national economy. The training of this kind of senior specialized personnel should have a considerable scale and school conditions, and it needs considerable manpower, material resources and financial resources to be effective.
Economic development provides various material conditions for the establishment of higher education, such as manpower, material resources, financial resources, a large number of social investments and corresponding economic strength. ? Finally, the development of higher education must be based on economic support and demand. The development of higher education cannot be divorced from the reality of the national economy and developed in isolation. Only by adapting to the requirements of national economic development can we have vitality and give full play to our role. Otherwise, it will lose the conditions and material foundation for its own development and be difficult to maintain.
