It is one of the basic elements of educational activities. Educators are the leaders of educational activities and the leaders who guide the healthy development of the younger generation, especially the minors.

Educators use their own knowledge and skills to guide and promote the physical and mental development of the educated in the direction of social needs. They inherit the essence of human civilization through educational activities and cultivate talents needed for social development, which is a symbol of human civilization and knowledge.
2. Educated people

Educated people are guided and educated by educators in educational activities, and constantly internalize educational contents and ideas into their own behaviors, thus developing and improving their knowledge and ability, thoughts and morality.
