First, the restrictive effect of productive forces on education
The level of productive forces determines the level of educational development, which is the material basis of educational development, and at the same time, it also puts forward requirements for education that are compatible with the level of productive forces. Throughout history, it is not difficult to find that the development level of productivity and education is basically the same. The level of productivity determines the scale and speed of education, and the development level of productivity is the direct and final determinant of the scale and speed of education development. The first scientific and technological revolution put forward the requirement of popularizing primary education.
Second, the role of education in promoting productivity.
Education reproduces labor force, and education transforms potential productivity into real productivity; Education can improve the quality and quality of the labor force; Education can change the form of labor force and cultivate simple labor force into complex labor force; Education can develop the labor force in an all-round way. Education reproduces scientific and technological knowledge, which can directly promote the development of science and technology and provide scientific and technological achievements for economic development through scientific and technological innovation.
The role of education in promoting productive forces is that education promotes the production and reproduction of productive forces and education promotes the production and reproduction of scientific knowledge. The development of productive forces promotes and restricts the development of education, and education also plays a huge role in promoting the development of productive forces.
Education is a means to produce new scientific knowledge and technology. The main function of education is to transmit the existing scientific knowledge of human beings, but it can also undertake the task of producing new scientific and technological knowledge.
Third, productivity is the material basis and premise of educational development.
No matter what class or form of education, it needs a certain amount of manpower, material resources and financial resources as the basis of educational development, and the level of economic development is consistent with the level of education. This is like education in different periods in China. In primitive society, there were no specialized schools and teachers because of the low level of production, but in slave society, there were specialized schools and teachers because of the progress of social production level.
