The relationship between education and culture
Culture restricts the development of education, and education promotes the development of culture. They are all special.

First, the restrictive effect of culture on the development of education

1. Culture influences the establishment of educational purposes

The establishment of educational purpose not only depends on the social, political and economic system and the development level of productive forces, but also is influenced by culture.

2. Culture influences the choice of educational content.

The content of education is human culture, and different cultures in different periods, countries and nationalities affect different choices of educational content.

3. Culture influences the use of teaching methods.

Different cultures affect people's understanding of knowledge and its sources, the relationship between teachers and students in education, and the different applications of education and teaching methods.

Second, the role of education in promoting cultural development

1. Education has the function of screening, sorting, transmitting and preserving culture.

Education inherits culture by cultivating people, serves a specific society and realizes the socialization of individuals, which determines that education must choose the content of education according to the requirements of society and the law of people's physical and mental development, so as to realize the screening, sorting, transmission and preservation of culture.

2. Education has the function of spreading and exchanging culture.

By spreading culture, education enables cultures of different countries and nationalities to communicate and blend with each other, and promotes the optimization and development of culture.

International cultural exchange makes national cultures complement each other, makes the essence of national cultures meet and blend, and gradually forms the common cultural wealth of all mankind. This is the process of national culture integrating into global civilization.

3. Education has the function of renewing and creating culture.

The culture we study is not static. We should constantly update and create new and better cultures. The most fundamental embodiment of the function of education to activate culture is cultural innovation.

Third, the particularity of the relationship between education and culture:

Culture itself is an educational force. It is reflected in two aspects: first, the culture in a specific time and space constitutes a cultural environment and cultural atmosphere, which exerts a subtle influence on people living in it and plays a powerful educational role.

Second, the culture of a certain society affects school culture, class culture and classroom culture in different ways, and plays an invisible and powerful role in educational activities.
