China needs to develop education when it enters the period of socialist construction. Most young people ask for further study, but the national education funds are limited, and many families can't afford their children to go to school. The socialist economic construction is carried out on a large scale and at a high speed, and the labor force is tight. In order to solve this contradiction, Liu Shaoqi put forward these two educational systems after in-depth investigation and study. To some extent, the contradiction between work and study has been solved. This thought reflects Liu Shaoqi's exploration of reforming China's education system and labor system.
