1. Education provides knowledge accumulation for the development and innovation of science and technology. The emergence and development of any new technology is always based on the acceptance of previous scientific and technological achievements. The important task of education is to transmit the existing scientific knowledge, experience and latest scientific and technological achievements of mankind and promote the development of scientific and technological progress and innovation.

2. Education trains talents for the development of science and technology. The progress of science and technology and the invention of advanced technology depend on talents who master science and technology, and the cultivation of talents lies in education. As * * pointed out, "the cultivation of scientific and technological talents is based on education." Cultivating talents and spreading knowledge is education, especially higher education.

Education creates conditions for the transformation of science and technology into productive forces. Developed science and technology, advanced production tools, and rich labor objects can not produce any economic benefits without human activities. Numerous facts show that science and technology can only be transformed into real productive forces if they are mastered by laborers. In order to master modern science and technology, workers must receive education. Therefore, education is the intermediary of transforming science and technology into productive forces. With the development of knowledge economy, education, especially higher education, not only undertakes the intermediary of transforming science and technology into productive forces, but also becomes an important base for the development of high-tech industries and information industries. At present, universities in many countries widely participate in the development of knowledge industry and form high-tech industrial parks around universities.
